Local Fencing Company in Fort Smith, AR 72904 - Edwards Fence and Deck Staining

Gate latch failures are often caused by a misaligned gate, rusted hardware, or worn-out springs. Over time, the gate can sag due to loose hinges or post movement, making the latch not catch. Edwards Fence and Deck Staining can diagnose the root cause—whether it's adjusting the gate, replacing the latch, or reinforcing the post. For chain link gates, we often replace rusted latches and realign the frame to ensure smooth operation.

Common signs include visible rust or corrosion, loose or missing tension wire, sagging sections, and damaged posts or rails. If the fence is leaning or has holes from impact, repair may be possible. However, if the rust is extensive or posts are rotted at the base, replacement might be more cost-effective. Edwards Fence and Deck Staining will inspect your fence and recommend the best solution, whether it's a partial repair or full replacement.

Fort Smith experiences hot summers, rain, and occasional freezes, which can cause wood to rot, warp, or split, and metal to rust. Weatherproofing involves applying a sealant or stain to wood fences and a rust-inhibiting paint to metal fences. This creates a barrier against moisture and UV rays. Edwards Fence and Deck Staining offers professional weatherproofing services that extend the life of your fence, reducing the need for frequent repairs.
