Perfect welding solutions | Metal Fabrication & Fencing in Memphis, TN

The primary cause is our local soil—expansive clay that swells when wet and shrinks during dry spells. This constant movement puts lateral pressure on fence posts and gate hinges, eventually causing them to shift or separate from the frame. Poor initial welding or insufficient bracing can also contribute to the problem. A proper solution involves using deeper-set posts, heavy-gauge metal, and reinforced welds that allow for slight movement without failing.

Fabrication allows us to build or repair a gate using corrosion-resistant materials like powder-coated aluminum or galvanized steel—specifically chosen for our humid climate. We re-weld weak joints, replace rusted hinges, and add diagonal bracing to handle the weight and wind. The result is a gate that stays square, operates smoothly, and resists rust far longer than off-the-shelf options.

Yes, we can. First, we grind out the rust and inspect every weld. Then we re-weld broken joints using a proper MIG or stick technique, and we can forge new scrolls or pickets to match the original design. Finally, we apply a rust-inhibiting primer and a fresh coat of paint. This approach saves you money and preserves the historic look of your fence.
