Questions and Answers

How does Fortress handle soil erosion around fence posts in Bakersfield?

We address soil erosion by setting fence posts deeper than standard – typically 24 to 30 inches – and using concrete collars that are flared at the base. This resists shifting in the sandy loam common to the Bakersfield area. For extra stability in high-wind zones, we can also install gravel backfill to improve drainage and reduce soil washout.

What types of fence staining do you offer for Bakersfield's climate?

We offer oil-based and water-based stains with UV inhibitors specifically formulated for intense sun exposure. For wood fences, we recommend a semi-transparent stain that penetrates deeply and resists cracking. We also apply a clear sealant on metal gates to prevent rust. Our crew preps the surface by cleaning and sanding, then applies two coats for even coverage.

Do you install automatic gates for residential driveways in Bakersfield?

Yes, we install automatic gate openers for swing and slide gates on residential driveways. We can integrate keypads, intercoms, and remote controls. Our team ensures the gate meets local safety codes, including photo-eye sensors and auto-reverse features. We also offer repair and weatherproofing services for existing automatic gates.
