McFatter Fence & Construction Company | Local Fence Contractors in Panama City, FL

Ornamental fencing often gets damaged due to the high humidity and salt air near the coast, which can lead to rust and corrosion. Additionally, storm debris and occasional flooding can cause dents or weaken the structure. Regular maintenance and weatherproofing help prevent these issues.

Look for uneven gaps between the gate and the ground, difficulty latching, or a noticeable dip in the top rail. Wooden gates may show swelling or rot, while metal gates might have rust at the hinges. If the gate drags when opening, it's a sign of sagging due to moisture.

We first assess the damage, then replace any rotted or corroded components. We adjust or replace hinges and reinforce the frame. After the repair, we apply weatherproofing treatments to prevent recurrence. For wooden gates, we may also recommend staining to seal against moisture.
