Commercial Fencing Melissa TX | Call Longhorn Fence Company

Gate sagging is often caused by settling fence posts in Melissa's expansive clay soils, combined with heavy gate weight. Over time, posts shift and hinges loosen. We solve this by resetting or replacing posts, adding anti-sag kits, reinforcing frames, and using heavy-duty hinges that can handle the gate's weight without sagging.

Rust on hinges, latches, or screws is a common issue around Melissa due to humidity and rain. It's a sign that the protective coating has worn off. If left untreated, rust can weaken hardware and cause gate failure. We recommend replacing rusted parts with galvanized or stainless steel alternatives. We also treat existing rust and apply a rust-inhibiting primer for long-term protection.

If your gate drags on the ground, doesn't latch properly, or has visible gaps when closed, it likely needs more than a quick fix. Also, if you notice rusted or bent hinges, or a post that feels loose in the ground, professional repair is best. Longhorn Fence Company will assess the entire gate system, from posts to hardware, and provide a lasting solution rather than a temporary adjustment.
