Fencing Company Alamo TX | Call Mark's Fencing

In Alamo, gate alignment problems are often caused by the area's expansive clay soils. As the ground shifts with moisture changes, fence posts can move, throwing your gate out of alignment. Sagging hinges from heavy gate weight or loose hardware can also be a culprit. Our solution involves re-setting or reinforcing the post, adjusting the hinges, or installing a wheel support to take the weight off the hinges.

A sure sign is if your fence panels are loosely attached to the posts or if you notice the posts themselves are wobbly. Wind can catch a solid privacy fence like a sail, and if the concrete base around a post has cracked or eroded, the fence will fail. We inspect for rotted wood, rusted nails, and insufficient post depth—common issues we see on older fences near the border.

In most cases, yes—we can repair the gate without replacing the entire fence. High winds can rip a gate off its hinges or twist the frame, but the rest of the fence line may be sound. We'll assess the damage, replace broken hardware or wood, and re-hang the gate properly. If the post is damaged, we can concrete a new one in place. Only if the wind has damaged the entire fence line would we recommend a full replacement.
