Mansfield's Best Fences | Reliable Fence Builders in Mansfield, TX

A new gate sags mainly when the gate post wasn't set deep enough or the concrete didn't cure properly in our clay soil. Sometimes the gate frame isn't braced against wind stress. We correct this by removing the gate, resetting the post with concrete below the frost line, adding an anti-sag cable kit, and checking the hinges for alignment. For Mansfield homes near Walnut Creek, we also recommend a wheel support to take load off the hinges.

Yes, we can often re-anchor leaning sections without a full replacement. We inspect the posts: if they're rotted or cracked at ground level, we dig them out and set new rot-resistant posts next to the old ones, then reattach the existing panels. For posts still sound but shifted, we use a post-pounding tool to drive them back vertical. This approach is cost-effective for partial wind damage common in neighborhoods near East Broad Street.

Most likely the gate is sagging slightly, tripping the safety reverse sensor. Over time, the gate's weight and Texas heat can loosen hinges or shift the post. We measure the gate clearance, tighten brackets, and adjust the limit settings on the opener motor. If the track is bent (common with windblown debris), we straighten it. This fix typically works without replacing the motor. We serve automatic gate owners near Debbie Lane and Matlock Road.
