General Fences | Reliable Wood and Vinyl Fencing in Houston, TX

Houston’s high humidity, frequent rain, and shifting clay soil can cause hardware like hinges, latches, and screws to rust, loosen, or break. This is especially common near the Buffalo Bayou area or in neighborhoods with poor drainage. At General Fences, we use corrosion-resistant materials and proper installation techniques to prevent these issues.

Signs include difficulty latching, a gate that drags on the ground, or visible gaps between the gate and post. You might also notice the gate swings open or closed on its own. These problems are common in areas like the Woodlands or Sugar Land due to soil movement. Our team can realign the gate and adjust hinges or posts for smooth operation.

First, check for loose hardware or debris in the track. If the issue is alignment, we recommend professional adjustment of the gate hinges or posts. For automatic gates, the sensor or motor may need service. General Fences offers repair and weatherproofing to prevent future problems, whether you’re near the Texas Medical Center or in Katy.
