IP Fence - Wheeling's Professional Wood and Vinyl Fencing

Freezing occurs when moisture enters hinges, latches, or automatic gate mechanisms and then freezes in subzero temperatures. This can prevent your gate from opening or closing properly. IP Fence offers weatherproofing services that seal vulnerable components and installs cold-resistant hardware. We also provide automatic gate repair to fix frozen motors or sensors, ensuring your gate operates smoothly even during Wheeling's coldest months.

Common signs include bent pickets, cracked welds, or rust spots where ice has expanded within small cracks. You might also notice sections leaning or pulling away from posts. IP Fence provides comprehensive fence repair services, including straightening bent sections, welding broken joints, and applying rust-inhibiting paint or stain. Our weatherproofing treatments also help prevent future ice damage.

Snow and ice buildup around the gate's bottom edge or hinges often causes sticking. The solution is to clear snow away from the gate path and apply a silicone-based lubricant to hinges. IP Fence can install weatherproofing seals and adjust your gate's alignment to minimize contact points. We also offer manual gate repair if the gate has already warped or if hardware has corroded from moisture.
