Q&A
How does Metalink handle corrosion on chain link fences in Austin's humid climate?
Chain link fences in Austin are exposed to significant humidity and occasional heavy rain, which can lead to rust and corrosion. To address this, Metalink recommends using galvanized or vinyl-coated chain link materials that resist moisture damage. For existing fences showing signs of corrosion, we perform thorough surface preparation—removing rust and applying a protective primer—before repainting or powder coating. Our in-house powder coating operation applies a durable, weather-resistant finish that seals the metal and prevents future oxidation. We also offer weatherproofing services specifically designed for Central Texas conditions, extending the life of your fence for years.
Can Metalink install a custom wrought iron gate for my home near the Travis Heights neighborhood?
Absolutely. We design and fabricate custom wrought iron gates tailored to your property near Travis Heights or any Austin neighborhood. Our process starts with a consultation to understand your style, security needs, and property dimensions. We then craft the gate in our in-house metal shop, adding ornamental details if desired. Finally, our team handles installation, including mounting posts, hinges, and any automation you choose. Whether you need a manual gate or an automatic system with remote access, we have over 25 years of experience delivering gates that complement Austin homes and stand up to local weather.
What is the best way to weatherproof a metal fence in Austin's climate?
Austin's climate—with high humidity, UV exposure, and temperature swings—can degrade metal fences over time. The most effective weatherproofing method is powder coating, which applies a thick, durable finish that resists moisture, sun, and rust. At Metalink, we use our in-house powder coating facility to treat new and existing metal fences. For fences already installed, we can strip old paint, clean the surface, and reapply a protective coating. We also offer painting and staining services for wrought iron or ornamental fences, using weather-resistant paints suited for Central Texas. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning debris and checking for early rust spots, is also key to longevity.
