Wood and Vinyl Fencing Fresno CA | Call Douglas Automatics

Soil erosion is a common issue here, especially after heavy rain or near sloped yards. We combat this by setting posts deeper and using concrete collars that extend below the frost line. For areas prone to washout, we might recommend gravel backfill or a post-base system that allows water to drain without destabilizing the fence. Our goal is to keep your fence standing straight and secure for years.

Yes, we repair all types of automatic gates, including swing and slide models. Common causes include sensor misalignment, worn gears, or electrical issues. We start by diagnosing the problem on-site—checking the control board, motor, and safety eyes. Most repairs are completed in one visit, and we always test the gate thoroughly before leaving.

Fresno summers can really take a toll on wood. To prevent warping, we recommend using kiln-dried lumber and applying a high-quality, UV-resistant stain or paint on all sides before installation. We also leave proper gaps between boards for expansion. For existing fences, we can add a weatherproofing sealant and replace any warped sections to restore the fence’s appearance and function.
