Reliable Metal Fabrication in Hawley, TX | Gridiron Welding & Fabrication

Gate alignment issues in Hawley are often caused by soil settling or heavy wind stress, which can shift the gate post over time. At Gridiron Welding and Fabrication, we assess the hinge alignment and level the post using fabrication techniques like heat bending or adding steel shims. We then reinforce the hinge brackets and re-weld them for a permanent fix, ensuring smooth operation without sagging.

The first signs of chain link fence corrosion in Hawley are often orange or brown rust spots on the wire, especially near the bottom where moisture collects. If left untreated, the rust can weaken the fabric and cause breaks. Gridiron addresses this by cutting out corroded sections, welding in new galvanized steel mesh panels, and applying a protective zinc coating to adjacent areas to stop future rust spread.

Yes, a gate that binds or closes unevenly can indicate a bent or weakened gate frame, often from wind pressure or a vehicle impact. This can strain the posts and hinges over time, leading to complete failure. Gridiron will inspect the frame for warping, then use metal fabrication to reinforce or replace damaged sections, re-weld joints, and adjust the hinge alignment so the gate swings freely and latches correctly.
