Kepner Fence: Local Fencing Company Serving Lyndonville, NY 14098

Gate latch failures are often caused by ice buildup or frost heaving that misaligns the gate and post, preventing the latch from engaging. Kepner Fence can repair or replace the latch mechanism, adjust the hinges to realign the gate, and apply weatherproofing to reduce ice adhesion, ensuring smooth operation even during winter.

Signs of ice damage include bent posts, broken or loosened chain link fabric, and sagging sections where ice expanded inside the framework. Kepner Fence repairs or replaces damaged sections, reinforces posts with deeper concrete footings, and can apply weatherproof coatings to prevent future ice-related expansion.

It depends on the extent of the damage. If only a few sections are affected, repair is cost-effective. However, recurring ice damage may indicate the need for a more durable fence or better weatherproofing. Kepner Fence offers weatherproofing services, such as sealing metal joints and applying rust-inhibiting paint or stain, to protect your fence from future ice damage and extend its lifespan.
