Astro Fence - Manitou Beach's Expert Fencing Company

This is a common sign of soil instability. The sandy soils around Devils Lake and Round Lake don't hold traditional concrete footings well, especially after spring thaws or heavy rains. Astro Fence resolves this by setting posts deeper and using a gravel backfill that drains properly, preventing the frost heave that makes posts tilt.

That dragging is usually caused by a settling gate post or a bent hinge from the shifting ground. Over time, the weight of the gate pulls the post out of plumb. Our solution includes resetting the post with a concrete footer that extends below the frost line, then adjusting or replacing the hinges so the gate swings freely again.

Look for signs like slow opening, strange grinding noises, or the gate reversing for no reason. These often signal a worn motor, a misaligned track, or a sensor issue. Astro Fence offers automatic gate repair to address these problems promptly, saving you from a full replacement. We service all major brands commonly found in the Manitou Beach area.
