Q&A
What is the most common sign that my fence needs to be replaced due to wind damage?
In Oklahoma City, the most common sign is a fence that is leaning or has loose panels after a windstorm. If your fence is wooden or vinyl, you might also notice cracked or split boards. These are clear indicators that the structure has been compromised and a more durable solution, like a custom metal fence from Erives Fab, is needed.
What causes traditional wood fences to fail so quickly in Oklahoma City?
The primary cause is our extreme weather. High winds, which can exceed 60 mph during storms, put immense pressure on fence panels. Combined with the freeze-thaw cycles in winter, wooden posts can shift and rot. Erives Fab solves this by using heavy-gauge steel and proper concrete footings, which are far more resistant to these local conditions.
What is the best solution for a gate that won't close properly after a storm?
A gate that drags or won't latch is often a sign of a bent frame or a shifted post. The best solution is to have a custom steel gate fabricated and installed. At Erives Fab, we build gates with reinforced hinges and a rigid frame that won't sag or warp, ensuring smooth operation even after Oklahoma's severe weather.
