Hinkel & Son Construction - Canyon Lake's Top-Rated Residential Fencing
Canyon Lake, TX 78130
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you prevent fence hardware from rusting in Canyon Lake's humid climate?
Canyon Lake's moisture-rich air, especially near the lake, can cause standard metal fence hardware to corrode. We address this by using galvanized or stainless steel screws, hinges, and latches. For automatic gates, we install sealed electrical components and apply weatherproof coatings to all exposed metal. Our fence weatherproofing service also includes a protective sealant on hardware to extend its lifespan.
What materials do you recommend for a deck that lasts in the Texas Hill Country heat?
We primarily use Timber Tech composite decking, which resists warping, fading, and moisture damage better than wood. It stays cooler underfoot and requires minimal maintenance—no staining or sealing. For a natural look, we offer capped polymer options. Our hidden fastener system creates a smooth surface without exposed screws, reducing wear from sun and rain.
Can you install a privacy fence with an automatic gate for my property in Canyon Lake?
Absolutely. We build custom privacy fences using cedar, vinyl, or wood with reinforced posts to handle wind loads common in the Hill Country. For gates, we offer both manual and automatic options, including sliding or swing designs. Our automatic gate installations include keypads, remote controls, and safety sensors. We also retrofit existing gates to add automation or repair damaged openers.
