Residential Fencing Richland WA | Call O'Neil Custom Metalworks

Look for signs like soft or spongy wood, peeling paint, visible mold or mildew, and warped or cracked boards. These indicate moisture damage common in Richland areas near the river. O'Neil Custom Metalworks can replace your rotting wood fence with a sturdy metal alternative, such as aluminum or steel, which resists moisture and won't rot, providing a long-term solution without the constant maintenance.

First, assess the damage and clear any debris. For a storm-damaged section, O'Neil Custom Metalworks can install a new metal fence and gate that is much more wind-resistant than wood. Metal gates, especially when properly braced and installed with heavy-duty hinges, can withstand high winds better. We can also add automatic gate openers for convenience, ensuring your property is secure even after severe weather.

Manual gates are operated by hand and are a simple, cost-effective option. Automatic gates use a motor and remote or keypad for hands-free operation. For Richland's climate, with its dry summers and occasional wet winters, automatic gates are often preferred because they reduce wear and tear from manual handling and can be sealed against moisture. O'Neil Custom Metalworks installs both types, but an automatic gate offers added convenience and security, especially if you frequently enter and exit in bad weather.
