McDaniel Fence | Experienced Commercial Fencing in Alexander City, AL

The high humidity levels and the proximity to Lake Martin increase moisture exposure, which accelerates oxidation on standard metal fences. Salts from the lake air and occasional acid rain can also speed up rusting. At McDaniel Fence, we recommend using galvanized or powder-coated steel to prevent this.

If the gate sags and the latch doesn't align, it's often a sign of a broken weld or rusted spring. A simple squeak or sticky latch might need lubrication. If the latch won't hold the gate closed, give us a call—we'll inspect the hardware and replace it with heavy-duty, weather-resistant parts.

First, we sand down the affected areas to bare metal, then apply a rust-inhibiting primer and a durable topcoat. For severe rust, we may replace entire sections using corrosion-resistant materials. Our team also installs aluminum fences that stand up to Alabama's humidity without rusting.
