Meet the Team
Bobby Rays Fab in Bakersfield, CA, offers fence and gate installation, metal fabrication, and trailer repair to local homeowners and businesses. Bakersfield's dry soil can cause fence posts to shift over time, and occasional earthquakes may damage gates or fence lines. Our team addresses these issues by using reinforced concrete footings, helical anchors, and flexible welding techniques that allow structures to absorb movement without cracking. We also paint and weatherproof fences to withstand the area's heat and dust. Located off Rosedale Highway near the Bakersfield Marketplace, we are a short drive from neighborhoods like Laurelglen, the Southwest area, and near Downtown. Our metal fabrication services include custom gates, railings, sheet metal, and structural steel for both residential and commercial projects. For automatic or manual gates, we install and repair operators, sensors, and frames to ensure smooth, long-lasting operation. Trailer repair covers frames, hitches, wiring, and sheet metal work. Every job is completed with careful attention to detail, using quality materials and proven techniques. Whether you need a new driveway gate, fence repair after an earthquake, or a weld on your trailer, our team provides dependable service that meets your specific needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you handle fence post instability caused by Bakersfield's dry soil?
We dig deeper than standard footings and use concrete mixed with a bonding agent to secure the posts. In areas with extreme soil contraction, we install helical anchors that grip stable soil layers beneath the surface. This prevents shifting and keeps your fence straight and sturdy even during droughts.
What types of metal fabrication do you offer for custom gates?
We can fabricate driveway gates, pedestrian gates, and security gates from steel or aluminum. We also add decorative scrollwork, hinges, and locking systems based on your design. Our shop handles welding, cutting, and finishing, so you get a gate that fits your property exactly.
Do you repair all kinds of trailers, and how quickly can you fix a broken frame?
Yes, we work on utility trailers, horse trailers, flatbeds, and small cargo trailers. For broken frames or hitches, we can often complete the repair the same day if you call ahead. We also reweld cracked sheet metal and replace worn-out wiring to get you back on the road safely.
