Questions and Answers

What causes fence hardware to rust so quickly in Austin?

Austin’s combination of high humidity, frequent afternoon rain, and harsh UV rays accelerates corrosion on standard metal hardware. If your fence is near a sprinkler system or has exposure to treated wood chemicals, rust can appear even faster. We recommend using stainless steel or galvanized hardware for our climate.

How can I tell if my fence gate hardware is about to fail?

Look for signs like sagging gates, stiff or squeaky hinges, visible rust flaking, or a latch that doesn’t catch securely. If you notice any of these, it’s best to address them quickly to avoid a gate that won’t close or a fence panel that pulls loose.

Does Iron Horse offer a long-term fix for rusted gate hardware?

Absolutely. We remove the corroded hardware, inspect the fence posts and framing for any damage, then install new, weather-resistant hinges, latches, and screws. We also offer protective coatings to extend the life of your fence hardware, giving you peace of mind through Austin’s changing seasons.
