Fence Installation Sulphur Springs TX | Call Phillips Entry Services

The primary cause is our intense Texas heat and direct sun exposure, which dries out the wood, causing it to shrink and crack. Repeated cycles of rain and heat speed up this process. At Phillips Entry Services, we can replace individual cracked planks to restore your fence's strength and appearance, and we recommend a high-quality sealant to protect the remaining wood from further heat damage.

Rust on metal hardware is a common issue in Sulphur Springs due to our high humidity and frequent rain. While it often starts as a cosmetic issue, it's a sign the protective coating is failing. Left unchecked, rust can weaken the hardware, making your gate sag or become difficult to latch. We can replace rusted hinges and latches with new, corrosion-resistant hardware to ensure your gate operates smoothly and remains secure.

For a long-term solution, the most effective step is to replace severely cracked sections with new, pressure-treated wood that's been designed to resist moisture and heat. After installation, we apply a protective sealant or stain specifically formulated for direct Texas sun exposure. Additionally, using metal posts and rust-resistant fasteners helps keep the entire structure stable and prevents future issues related to our local climate.
