Most fence problems start at the posts. A small shift in the ground can slowly pull a line out of square. Posts lean, rails loosen, and the fence starts to wobble when the wind picks up. Over time, the boundary can look uneven and feel unreliable, even if the rest of the fence still looks fine.

Full Swing Fencing is a family-owned team that focuses on the points that hold everything together. We reset or strengthen weak posts, bring the fence line back into alignment, and make sure rails and fixings sit firm again. We also correct post positions that affect gate swing and latching. Our team works across rural and lifestyle setups, including cypress fencing.

If the posts are part of a boundary that needs to be safe and compliant, especially around a pool area, we can point you to the right approach under pool fencing. If your project ties into outdoor upgrades, we can coordinate posts and access points alongside deck builders and retaining walls where needed.

Why Fence Posts Matter in Tauranga

As a fencing contractor, Full Swing Fencing works across Tauranga and the wider Bay of Plenty with clear communication and tidy workmanship. We focus on the basics that make posts last, so your fence stays straight and does its job.

Strong Fence Base

We focus on the posts first, because that is what carries the whole fence. If a post has shifted or softened, we strengthen or reset it so the fence line firms up and stops wobbling.

Gate Post Support

Gates rely on solid hinges and latch posts. We correct post movement and alignment so the gate swings freely and closes and latches the way it should.

Built For Coastal Weather

Tauranga fences can take a beating in exposed spots. We plan the post work around the site, then lock the line back in so it holds up better in wind and wet conditions.

Better Security And Value

A straight, stable fence looks better and feels more secure. Once the posts are set right, the boundary is clearer, the fence feels solid, and the finished area does not look patched.

Fewer Costly Repairs

When posts are loose, everything else starts to suffer. We fix the root cause at the base, so you are not reattaching rails or correcting the same leaning section again later.

Frequently Asked Questions

How deep should fence posts be set?

As a starting point, most standard fence posts are set about 600–700mm into the ground in concrete, then adjusted to suit the site. For fences up to 1.2m high, a common minimum depth is 600mm in concrete, and for fences up to 1.8m high, a common minimum is 700mm in concrete. A simple rule used in formal specs is to aim for a footing depth of at least one-third of the fence height, and go deeper where the ground is soft, or the site is exposed.

Can you replace a fence post without replacing the whole fence?

Often, yes. If the rails and palings are still in good shape, replacing or resetting the failed post can bring the fence back to life. If nearby sections are also weak, a partial rebuild is usually the better long-term fix.

Why do fence posts rot or weaken near ground level?

An area that takes the most stress and holds moisture for longer, so it is a common failure point. The right fix depends on how far the damage goes and how much the fence has moved.

How do you fix a fence post that is leaning?

First, you need to know why it leaned. It could be ground movement, a loose footing, or load from a gate. The fix is usually to reset, brace, or replace the post, then bring the fence line back into alignment.

When is it better to replace a fence section instead of repairing posts?

If the same area keeps moving, if multiple posts are failing, or if the fence is badly out of line, a section replacement is often cleaner. It can look better and save you from repeat call-backs on the same issue.
