940 Fence | Trusted Fence Contractors in Denton, TX

Gate sagging is often caused by loose hinges, worn-out screws, or a heavy gate pulling on a wooden post that has shifted in the soil, which is common in Denton with our clay soils. Signs include the gate dragging on the ground or not latching properly. 940 Fence can fix this by reinforcing the hinges, adjusting the post, or adding a wheel support. If the post is rotted or leaning, they may recommend replacing it with a stronger, weatherproofed post as part of a manual or automatic gate repair.

Yes, in many cases an aging fence can be restored rather than fully replaced. Common signs of aging include dry rot, splitting pickets, loose boards, or faded stain. 940 Fence provides fence painting or staining and weatherproofing services that can protect the wood from Denton heat and humidity. They'll first make any necessary repairs—replacing damaged pickets or securing loose ones—then apply a high-quality stain or sealant to extend the fence's life. This is a cost-effective solution for many older fences in neighborhoods near UNT or the downtown square.

For Denton's mix of hot summers, occasional freezes, and clay soil, a well-installed wood or vinyl fence with proper weatherproofing works well. 940 Fence installs new fences using treated lumber or durable vinyl materials and offers weatherproofing as a core service. They focus on proper post-setting to minimize movement from soil shifts, which helps prevent gate sagging. They also recommend regular staining for wood fences every few years. If you want low maintenance, an automatic gate paired with a robust fence can also reduce wear from manual use.
