Wood and Vinyl Fencing Kilgore TX | Call Leon’s Fences & Welding

Kilgore’s soil is largely sandy clay, which shifts and holds moisture after heavy rains. This causes wooden posts to rot and concrete to crack over time, leading to fence post erosion. Our solution uses custom metal fabrication—specifically heavy-gauge steel posts with wider base plates and deeper concrete collars. This design anchors the fence through wet and dry cycles, preventing the leaning and sagging seen in aging fence systems.

Look for signs like multiple loose posts after rain, sagging gate hinges, rust at ground level on metal posts, or wood that crumbles when touched. If your fence leans more than a few inches or gates drag, the problem is likely structural. Our metal fabrication services let us replace damaged sections or build a complete new fence system from scratch—using welded steel or aluminum that won't rot or erode like traditional materials.

Absolutely. We custom-fabricate gates for all types of properties—from residential driveways near the historic downtown to heavy-duty farm and industrial gates for properties off Highway 259. We weld our own frames using thicker tubing and add reinforced hinges and latches. This means your gate will stay aligned and operate smoothly, even through the region's weather swings and daily use.
