Ironwood Fence and Construction - San Marcos's Reliable Fence Builders
2905 Center Point Rd, San Marcos, TX 78666
Company Overview
Ironwood Fence and Construction has been serving San Marcos, TX since 2000. Starting with ranch fences, we expanded into residential wood fences and commercial chain link, but today we specialize in ornamental iron fences, gates, and handrails. Our team handles everything from deck construction and repair to fence and gate installation, painting, staining, and weatherproofing. We’re known for custom iron entrances, automatic gates, and handicap handrails. For local homeowners, we address common issues like wood fence warping from heat by recommending durable ornamental iron. To prevent fence post erosion, we use concrete footings set deep into the soil, a practice refined in San Marcos’s limestone-heavy ground. Whether your property is near Texas State University or in the historic district around the Square, we provide professional, high-quality ironwork and fencing. We also build manual and automatic gates to your exact specifications, ensuring long-lasting results in the local climate.
Questions and Answers
How do you prevent wood fence warping in San Marcos’s heat?
For wooden fences, we use kiln-dried lumber and leave proper gaps between boards to allow for expansion. We also recommend sealing or staining with UV-protective coatings. However, many of our clients switch to ornamental iron for a maintenance-free option that won’t warp or rot under the Texas sun.
What types of automatic gates do you install?
We install sliding and swing automatic gates with options like keypads, remote controls, and intercom systems. Our gates are built from wrought iron or aluminum in custom designs, and we handle all electrical and concrete work. Whether for a residential driveway or commercial entrance near the San Marcos factory outlets, we ensure smooth, reliable operation.
How do you fix fence post erosion in San Marcos soil?
Erosion often exposes wood posts to moisture and rot. We replace rotted posts with pressure-treated lumber or steel posts set in concrete. We dig below the frost line (about 12 inches) and pour a bell-shaped base to resist uplift. For additional stability, we use gravel at the bottom before concrete to improve drainage.
