Browne Fence Installation - Compton's Local Fence Builders

In our area, the main culprits are intense sun exposure, occasional heavy rain, and strong winds. Over time, moisture gets into untreated wood, causing it to swell and then shrink, leading to cracks and warping. If your panels are older or not properly sealed, they're more vulnerable. We recommend annual inspections and weatherproofing treatments to extend their life.

Sagging usually happens when the hinges loosen or the gate's frame twists under its own weight. First, check if the hinge screws are tight. If the gate is still drooping, the frame may need reinforcement or the hinges might need repositioning. We can install a tension rod or replace worn hardware. For heavier gates, upgrading to a wheel kit or stronger hinges often solves the problem permanently.

Absolutely. We offer painting and staining for both manual and automatic gates, using weather-resistant finishes that stand up to Compton's climate. We'll prep the surface properly – cleaning, sanding, and priming if needed – to ensure the color lasts. Whether you want a bold accent or a natural wood look, we can match your existing fence or give your property a fresh, cohesive appearance.
