Residential Fencing San Antonio TX | Call Custom Fabrication Ventures

We design and install fences with wind loads in mind. For areas like Stone Oak or near the Hill Country, we use heavy-gauge materials, deeper post holes with concrete footings, and robust tie-ins at the top and bottom. For wrought iron, we add extra cross bracing. For wood or vinyl, we select grade materials and secure every connection. We also inspect the soil type to choose the right anchoring depth. This approach has helped many local homeowners avoid damage during spring windstorms.

Yes, we can. We evaluate the gate’s condition, hinge alignment, and structure. If the gate is stable, we retrofit a compatible automatic opener—sliding or swing model—and run necessary wiring. We also check for gate sagging, which is common in older installations, and adjust the hinges and posts before mounting the motor. We handle all programming and safety sensor placement to meet local building codes.

We apply rust-inhibiting primers and high-quality exterior-grade paint or powder coating for metal gates and fences. For wooden structures, we use UV-resistant stains and sealants that withstand heat and moisture. Annual inspections are advised—especially after heavy rains—to touch up any chips or cracks. We also suggest keeping vegetation trimmed away from gates to prevent moisture buildup. These steps prolong the life of your investment through our long summers and occasional freeze events.
