Double K Fence & Metal Buildings - Benbrook's Expert Fencing Company

Leaning posts are often caused by the expansive clay soil common in Benbrook, which shifts with moisture changes, loosening the concrete footing. A clear sign is a fence that tilts or has gaps at the bottom. We solve this by removing the old post, digging a deeper hole with proper drainage gravel, and setting the new post in concrete below the frost line. For severe cases, we may recommend replacing the entire section to prevent future movement.

If your gate drags on the ground, has uneven gaps at the top or bottom, or won't latch, the hinges or posts may have shifted due to soil movement or wood rot. We inspect the hardware and posts first, then realign the gate by adjusting hinge positions or resetting the gate post in fresh concrete. For heavier gates, we install reinforced hinges and a self-closing mechanism for smoother operation.

If only one or two posts are leaning or a few pickets are broken, repairing those sections is cost-effective and common in Benbrook neighborhoods like Westpark. However, if multiple posts are rotting at the base or the entire fence shows widespread warping, a full replacement saves you from repeated repairs. We'll walk your property and give you an honest assessment—no upsell.
