AK Contracting - Garland's Experienced Fence Installation

Garland often experiences strong winds that can overload standard fence panels, especially if posts are set in our region’s heavy clay soil. The soil expands and contracts with moisture, loosening the posts over time. Loose posts offer little resistance, so panels act like sails. At AK Contracting, we address this by using deeper-set concrete footings, pressure-treated posts, and wind-rated brackets. We'll inspect your fence, identify weak spots, and reinforce or replace panels to prevent blowouts.

Yes, a dragging gate usually signals a sagging frame or a settling hinge post. In Garland’s soil, hinge posts can shift, putting weight on the gate and bending hinges over time. Ignoring it can damage the gate and warp the frame. We’ll check the post’s stability, realign or replace hinges, and install a tension cable or anti-sag kit. If the post is rotted or leaning, we’ll set a new one to keep your gate swinging freely.

It depends on the cause. Often a leaning fence is due to one or two posts that have rotted or shifted in wet soil. We can usually repair it by removing the affected sections, replacing those posts with concrete footings, and reattaching the panels. This saves you from replacing the entire fence. We’ll evaluate your fence’s overall condition and suggest the most cost-effective solution to bring it back to plumb.
