Common Questions
What causes ice damage to metal fences, and how can Pat’s Welding fix it?
Ice damage typically occurs when water seeps into joints, cracks, or post bases and then freezes, expanding and causing metal to warp, crack, or pull away from anchors. Pat’s Welding uses professional metal fabrication to cut out weakened sections, weld in new reinforcement, and re-anchor posts to prevent future movement. They also grind and seal joints to reduce moisture infiltration, making your fence more winter-ready.
How can I tell if my gate hinges are broken or just loose?
A broken hinge often shows visible cracks, sagging, or grinding when the gate swings, while a loose hinge typically just needs tightening. If the gate drags on the ground or won't latch properly, inspect the hinge plate. Pat’s Welding assesses the damage on site—if the hinge is fractured, they’ll weld a new heavy-duty hinge; if it's loose, they can reinforce the attachment point.
Can Pat’s Welding replace a section of my fence that rotted from ice, or do I need a whole new fence?
Often, only the damaged section needs replacement rather than the entire fence, saving you time and money. Pat’s Welding can fabricate a custom metal panel that matches your existing fence’s style and color, then weld it securely in place. They also check adjacent posts for hidden damage, ensuring the repair lasts.
