Fencing Company Henderson TX | Call Ace fence

Gate sagging is often caused by the weight of the gate pulling on its hinges over time, especially during Henderson's humid summers. Loose screws, rotting wood in the gate frame, or posts that have shifted in our clay-heavy soil are common culprits. The constant moisture and heat cycles around areas like Lake Striker can accelerate these issues, making regular checks and quality hardware essential.

Look for vines like poison ivy or Virginia creeper growing directly on the fence, which trap moisture against the wood. Also, check for nearby shrubs or tree branches that rub against the fence, scraping off paint and creating entry points for rot. Roots from large trees near your fence line can also warp the bases of your posts. Overgrown grass and weeds along the fence base can cause wood to rot faster.

First, we inspect the hinge side for loose screws or bent hinges, which we can often tighten or replace on the spot. If the gate post is leaning, we can install a concrete footer to stabilize it. For heavy or custom gates, we fit a heavy-duty adjustable hinge and a magnetic or roller latch. This is a common fix for homes off Highway 79, where gates see more wind and daily use.
