Anytime Welding - Ankeny's Professional Wood and Vinyl Fencing

That’s a common sign of moisture damage in Iowa’s humid climate. Wood decks often cup or crack when not properly sealed or if they’re built with low-grade lumber. At Anytime Welding, we can replace damaged boards with treated wood or composite materials, and reinforce the frame with custom metal brackets to prevent future movement. We also recommend annual sealing to extend the life of your deck.

Absolutely. Rust is a typical issue for older metal gates in Ankeny, especially after snow and salt exposure. We’ll grind away the rust, weld in new sections if needed, and adjust the hinges and latch. If the gate is beyond repair, we can fabricate a custom replacement that matches your existing fence—using powder-coated steel that resists rust far longer than traditional wrought iron.

For windy areas, we recommend a combination of pressure-treated wood posts with metal balusters or a fully welded steel railing system. Metal fabrication is our specialty—we can create custom railings that are both sturdy and stylish, with no gaps that could loosen over time. We’ll also anchor the posts into concrete footings to handle gusts common in open neighborhoods like Prairie Ridge.
