Merritt’s Metal Works - Southaven's Best Fence Contractors

In Southaven, the most common signs are rust spots on metal components, peeling or bubbling paint, wood rot at the base of posts, and gates that stick or sag. You might also notice warped panels or hinges that have become stiff. These issues are typically caused by prolonged exposure to moisture and temperature changes. If you see these signs, it’s best to address them quickly to prevent further damage.

We provide comprehensive weatherproofing services that include applying rust-inhibiting primers and high-quality paint or stain designed for our local climate. For metal fences and gates, we can also treat existing rust before it spreads. For wood fences, we offer staining and sealing to repel moisture. Regular painting or staining, combined with proper weatherproofing, can extend the life of your fence or gate significantly.

Heavy rain can cause several issues with automatic gates. Moisture may have gotten into the control box or motor, or the track could be clogged with debris. Additionally, rust on hinges or a misaligned gate due to swollen wood or loosened posts can prevent proper closure. Our repair service includes inspecting the electrical components, lubricating moving parts, realigning the gate, and replacing any rusted hardware. We’ll also check the weatherproofing to prevent future problems.
