Fence leaning or sections falling over — Limassol, Limassol
A leaning fence usually means post failure — either the posts have rotted at ground level (wood fences average 7–15 years before post rot), the concrete footings have cracked and shifted, or soil erosion has undermined the base. Wind loads during storms accelerate the failure. Repair options depend on severity: resetting individual posts in new concrete ($150–$400 per post) works when the rails and pickets are sound. If more than 30% of posts are compromised, full fence replacement ($15–$30/linear foot for wood privacy, $25–$50 for vinyl, $20–$40 for aluminum) is more cost-effective than piecemeal repair. Metal post brackets ($20–$40 each, installed into existing concrete) can rescue posts with minor base rot without digging.
