Huntleys Automated Entry Gates - Goliad's Local Fencing Company

In Goliad, frequent soil movement from wet-dry cycles can shift your gate posts, causing the gate to bind or misalign. This is especially common after heavy rains near the San Antonio River. Our automatic gate repair service includes checking the post foundation, realigning hinges, and adjusting the track or opener. If the post is unstable, we can reset it with a deeper concrete base to prevent future movement.

Expansive clay soils in Goliad swell when wet and shrink when dry, gradually loosening fence posts. This often happens on properties near Goliad State Park or along rural roads. Our fence repair service removes the loose post, digs a wider, deeper hole, and sets it with gravel and concrete to anchor it below the soil’s active layer. This stops the leaning and keeps your fence line straight.

To avoid alignment issues, we install automatic gates with reinforced concrete footings that extend below the frost line and into stable soil. This is key in Goliad’s terrain, where shifting is common. We also use heavy-duty hinges and adjustable brackets so minor shifts can be corrected without full replacement. Regular maintenance, like lubricating the track and checking the opener, helps too.
