Frequently Asked Questions
What causes gate sagging, and how does metal fabrication fix it?
Gate sagging is often caused by loose hinges, a weakened frame, or the weight of the gate itself. Over time, wooden or thin metal gates can twist or droop, especially in Kenedy’s windy conditions. Crawford Welding and Fabrication solves this by fabricating a new steel gate frame or reinforcing the existing one with welded cross-bracing. We also install heavy-duty hinges and adjust the gate’s balance so it hangs straight and swings easily, eliminating sagging for good.
How can metal fabrication protect my fence from high wind damage in Kenedy?
High winds in Kenedy can rip off fence panels or bend weak posts. Our metal fabrication solutions include building wind-resistant fence panels with perforated or slatted designs that allow wind to pass through, reducing pressure. We also fabricate stronger steel posts and weld them securely to a concrete foundation, ensuring your fence stays upright during storms. For existing fences, we can add steel bracing to vulnerable sections.
What signs indicate my gate needs repair or replacement from a metal fabricator?
Common signs include a gate that drags on the ground, won’t latch properly, or makes a grinding noise when opened. You might also notice visible cracks, rust, or bent metal on the frame. If your gate sags more than an inch or has broken welds, it’s time for a professional inspection. Crawford Welding and Fabrication can assess the damage and either weld repairs or custom-build a new, durable gate that fits your opening perfectly.
