Questions and Answers
How do you fix fence post instability caused by dry soil in Chino Hills?
In Chino Hills, the soil can dry out and shrink, causing fence posts to loosen over time. We address this by setting posts deeper—typically 24 to 36 inches—and using a concrete mix with a moisture-retaining additive to help the footing grip the soil better. For existing unstable posts, we reinforce the base with a concrete sleeve or replace the post entirely with a heavy-gauge steel post set below the frost line. This keeps your gate or fence secure even during dry spells.
What’s the best type of gate for a side yard entry in Chino Hills?
For a side yard entry, a manual single-swing iron gate is a solid choice. It’s durable, locks securely, and can be custom-built to fit narrower openings. We design each gate to match your home’s style—adding scrollwork or simple lines—and use rust-resistant welding and powder coating to handle the local weather. If you need more space, a sliding gate is also an option, though it requires more room along the fence line.
Can you repair my chain link fence if it’s showing rust spots near the 71 Freeway?
Yes, we can replace rusted sections of chain link fabric or posts without tearing down the entire fence. For corrosion near the freeway—where air and dust can accelerate rust—we’ll cut out the damaged area, install new galvanized mesh, and treat the posts with a rust-inhibitor before repainting. If posts are weak, we replace them and set them deeper in concrete. This approach saves money and keeps your fence secure.
