What a fence workmanship warranty is for

Fence callbacks are mostly leaning posts and sagging gates, and both can come from installation. Wood also checks, warps and grays on its own, which is not a defect. A warranty that covers posts and gates for your work, explains how wood behaves, and excludes storms, fallen trees and dogs keeps you honest and the customer informed.

What to put in a fence workmanship warranty

  • Posts that lean or heave because of how they were set.
  • Gates that sag or will not latch because of how they were hung.
  • Wood movement, checking and graying as normal.
  • Exclusions: storms, trees, impacts, pets, ground changes.
  • Manufacturer warranties on vinyl and hardware.
  • How to make a claim.

What a fence warranty usually leaves out

  • Natural checking, warping and color change of wood.
  • Damage from wind storms, falling trees or vehicles.
  • Digging or chewing by pets.

FAQ

What does a fence warranty cover?

Usually the installation: posts that lean or heave and gates that sag because of how they were set or hung. Materials like vinyl carry the manufacturer's warranty.

Is warping covered on a wood fence?

Normal checking, slight warping and graying are how wood behaves outdoors, so most fence warranties exclude them.

Does a fence warranty cover storm damage?

No. Wind, falling trees and vehicles are insurance matters. Say so in the warranty.

Why do gates sag?

Weight, hinge placement and post setting. A gate that sags soon after install is often an installation issue and should be covered.
