Question Answers
What causes metal fences to rust so quickly in Mandeville, LA?
The combination of high humidity, salty air from Lake Pontchartrain, and frequent rain creates the perfect environment for rust to form on metal fences. Even galvanized steel can corrode over time if the protective coating is scratched or worn. That's why we see more rust damage in neighborhoods near the lakefront or along the Tchefuncte River.
How do I know if my gate hinges are broken or just stuck?
If your gate is hard to open, squeaks loudly, or sags when closed, the hinges may be rusted or bent. A simple test: try lifting the gate slightly while opening it. If it moves more easily, the hinges are likely worn out. Broken hinges can also cause the gate to drag on the ground, which damages the frame over time.
Can A-1 Fence & Patio replace just the rusty sections of my fence?
Yes, we often replace only the damaged panels or posts instead of the entire fence. This saves you money and keeps the original structure intact. We match the style and material as closely as possible, and we treat the surrounding metal to prevent future rust. For gates, we can replace the hinges and hardware without replacing the whole gate.
