Mendoza Carport | Top-Rated Fencing Company in Oklahoma City, OK

The primary cause is expansive clay soil that shifts with moisture changes, alongside moisture trapping at wood bases during our humid summers. We solve this by using concrete footings extending below the frost line and setting posts with a gravel base for drainage, preventing rot and heaving. For existing leaning posts, we often replace them with treated lumber or steel posts, ensuring stability.

The most common sign is a gate that drags on the ground or doesn't align with the latch. This typically indicates the gate frame has sagged due to weight or post movement. We correct this by assessing if the hinge side needs reinforcement, installing a heavy-duty gate kit with tension cables, or replacing sagging posts. We also check for proper bracing, ensuring your gate remains level and functional.

High winds, common in Oklahoma, combined with thermal expansion from intense sun can cause wood or vinyl panels to warp or buckle. We recommend using thicker gauge metal posts, spacing panels with proper expansion gaps, and selecting wind-rated materials like chain link or reinforced vinyl. For existing warped sections, we can replace damaged panels and install additional anchoring to prevent future issues.
