Continental Custom Iron | Local Fence Builders in San Diego, CA

San Diego’s soil can shift, especially after dry periods or rain, causing fence posts to move. When we install a new fence or repair an existing one, we set posts in concrete below the frost line and use galvanized steel brackets to secure the post to the concrete. This prevents shifting and keeps your fence straight for years. We also check for proper drainage around the post base to reduce soil erosion.

Powder coating is a dry finishing process where electrostatically charged powder is sprayed onto the metal and then cured under heat, creating a thick, durable, and weather-resistant layer. It resists chipping, fading, and rust better than liquid paint. Painting is more traditional and can be done on-site, but it may require more frequent touch-ups, especially in coastal areas. For gates exposed to San Diego sun and salt air, we often recommend powder coating for long-term protection.

Yes, we can match existing designs. We take detailed measurements and photos, then create a 3D rendering of the new gate to show how it will look alongside your current fence. We can replicate scroll patterns, picket spacing, and finish colors. If your fence is older, we can also match the patina or apply a new finish to both the gate and fence for a uniform appearance.
