Lutaura Agency - Franklinton's Expert Fencing Company

Look for leaning or warped fence posts, sagging gates that don’t latch fully, and gaps wider than four inches between pickets or under the gate. In Franklinton, clay soil can cause posts to shift, and moisture from our humid summers often rots wood at ground level. If you notice any of these, your fence may not keep a child safely contained, and a childproofing inspection can identify hazards before an accident happens.

We start by assessing each gate and panel. For gaps, we re-align or replace posts, add anti-climb hardware, and install protective mesh or kick panels along the bottom. If a gate latch is worn, we replace it with a self-closing, child-proof latch that cannot be easily opened by small hands. Every adjustment is made with local soil and weather conditions in mind, so your fence stays secure year-round.

Absolutely. In most cases, we can reinforce weak sections, replace damaged posts, add child-safe locks and hinge guards, and install temporary or permanent panels to close risky openings. We often work with older Franklinton homes where original fences have historic character—but still need updates to comply with modern safety standards.
