Reliable Residential Fencing in Atlanta, GA 30114 - Green Acres Fencing

Atlanta's heavy rains saturate the clay-rich soil, causing it to expand and contract. This shifting loosens the grip around fence posts, especially if they were set with insufficient depth or concrete. Over time, the repeated moisture and movement cause posts to tilt. At Green Acres Fencing, we address this by removing the post, digging a deeper hole, and setting it with a concrete base that extends below the frost line, ensuring stability even during wet seasons.

If your gate won't latch properly, first check if it's a misalignment issue—look for visible gaps between the latch and catch. A broken latch often won't engage at all, feels loose, or has rusted components. Another sign is if the gate droops, putting strain on the latch. Our team can inspect your gate hardware and recommend a replacement latch made of stainless steel or zinc-coated materials to withstand Atlanta's humid climate. If the gate sag is the root cause, we can also adjust the hinges or posts.

The most reliable solution is to replace the broken latch with a heavy-duty, weather-resistant model designed for outdoor use. At Green Acres Fencing, we install latches made of stainless steel or coated metal that resist rust from Atlanta's humidity. We also address any underlying issues like misaligned gate hinges or shifting posts to prevent future problems. Our service includes a full adjustment to ensure smooth operation and long-lasting security.
