Marion County averages more than 80 thunderstorm days per year. Summer storms bring straight-line wind gusts that regularly reach 50 to 70 mph. A solid privacy fence has the aerodynamics of a wall. Posts that are not properly set in concrete fail first.
After a storm, expect downed sections from post failures, broken boards from limbs, and lifted vinyl panels.
Most storm damage is repairable without replacing the full fence. Fences R Us assesses the damage, documents it for insurance if needed, and repairs affected sections to match.
Storm damage fence repair is part of the Fence Repair & Painting service. For post-specific repairs after a storm, see the Fence Post Replacement page. Wood, vinyl, and chain link repair details are on their dedicated pages.

Steps to Take After Storm Fence Damage in Marion County
Take photos from multiple angles before touching anything. Document the full damage, any fallen trees or limbs, and the fence condition on either side.
If the damaged fence creates a safety hazard or leaves a property unsecured, use temporary measures to block the gap. This protects pets, children, and property while the repair is scheduled.
Call (352) 266-2849. Describe the damage and fence type. Manny schedules a site visit to assess the damage and provide a written estimate. Insurance documentation can be prepared at the site visit.
Contact your homeowner insurance provider with your damage photos and the Fences R Us written estimate. Most standard Florida homeowner policies cover wind and storm damage to fences. Fences R Us provides itemized written estimates suitable for insurance claims.
How Storm Repairs Differ by Fence Type
Wood Privacy Fence
Downed wood fence sections usually involve post failure. The posts pull out of the ground when they were not properly set in concrete. Repair means resetting posts in concrete and rebuilding the downed section. If the boards and rails are still in good condition, the same material is reused. Broken boards are replaced with pressure treated lumber to match.
Vinyl Fence
Vinyl panels blown out of their rail channels are often undamaged and can be reseated. Broken posts must be replaced with new steel-insert posts. Cracked or shattered panels are replaced with matching profile vinyl. Vinyl repairs after storms are often faster than wood repairs because the panels are modular.
Chain Link Fence
Bent posts from tree falls or debris top the list of chain link storm damage in Marion County. Bent posts are replaced. Torn fabric is repaired by section or replaced if the damage is widespread. Fallen tree limbs that tear fabric across a long run typically require a full fabric section replacement.
Farm Fencing
Wire fencing and board fencing on rural properties often runs for hundreds of feet. A tree falling across a fence line takes down a section of posts and wire over a wide area. Fences R Us prioritizes containment : getting livestock back in before completing the full repair. Posts are reset, wire is re-tensioned, and the permanent repair follows the emergency containment work.
Insurance Claims for Storm Fence Damage in Florida
Most standard Florida homeowner insurance policies cover fence damage from wind, falling trees, and other named storm events. The claim process requires documentation of the damage and a repair estimate from a licensed contractor.
Fences R Us provides itemized written estimates that break down materials and labor by section. This format is what insurance adjusters and claims processors need to approve a fence repair claim. Call (352) 266-2849 after any storm damage to schedule a site visit.
