Question Answers
What causes privacy fence panels to loosen or break around Shafter?
In Shafter, the main cause is often strong winds combined with dry soil that can shift posts. Over time, panels can crack, warp, or pull away from posts, especially if the wood wasn’t properly weatherproofed. Our repair service involves replacing damaged panels, reinforcing posts, and adding weatherproofing to prevent future problems.
How do I know if my gate is misaligned and what’s the fix?
A misaligned gate will usually drag on the ground, stick when opening, or leave a visible gap at the top or bottom. This often happens after settling soil or loose hinges. We realign the gate by adjusting hinges, resetting the post, or in some cases, repairing the latch. For automatic gates, we also check the track and motor alignment.
Can Kern Ironworks weatherproof my fence to handle Shafter’s summer heat?
Yes. Our weatherproofing service protects your fence from sun damage, dry rot, and occasional rain. We apply sealants or stains that are designed for Central Valley conditions. It’s a good idea to have this done every few years to keep your fence from drying out, cracking, or warping in Shafter’s high temperatures.
