Frequently Asked Questions
What causes a gate to sag in Shreveport’s humid climate?
Constant humidity and rain can cause wooden posts to rot or warp, and can also rust or loosen metal hinges and brackets. Over time, the weight of the gate pulls the frame out of square, leading to sagging. At Ark La Tex Gates, we check the soil moisture around your posts, the condition of the hardware, and the gate’s frame to pinpoint the exact cause.
What are the signs that my gate alignment is off?
If your gate drags on the ground, has a visible gap at the top or bottom, or is hard to latch, alignment is likely off. You might also notice uneven gaps between the gate and the post. Our team in Shreveport can spot these issues quickly, often finding that a simple hinge adjustment or a new tension rod can solve the problem.
What is the best solution for a gate that keeps sagging?
The lasting solution depends on the cause. If the post is rotted, we replace it with a treated post set in concrete. If the hardware is loose, we install heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant hinges and may add a diagonal tension rod. For new gates, we recommend pre-hung steel post systems or reinforced wooden frames to prevent future sagging in Shreveport’s humid weather.
