Profence | Local Wood and Vinyl Fencing in Fresno, CA

The primary cause is the combination of alkaline soil and frequent irrigation or sprinkler overspray, which accelerates rust on galvanized chain link fabric. You'll notice reddish-brown stains and weakened wires. Profence solves this by replacing corroded sections with heavier-gauge, vinyl-coated chain link or applying a rust-inhibiting primer and fresh galvanized coating. We also adjust the fence line to improve drainage away from the posts, preventing future moisture buildup.

Yes, it's very common. The expansive clay soil in Fresno shrinks and swells with seasonal moisture changes, causing gate posts to shift. This misalignment makes the gate sag or bind. Profence can realign the gate by re-setting the post in concrete with a deeper footing, or by installing an adjustable hinge system. We'll also check for warped metal from summer heat and make precision cuts or welds to restore smooth operation.

Absolutely. We use high-grade steel or aluminum and apply a durable powder coating that resists UV fading and corrosion from local irrigation water. For gates exposed to direct sun, we design them with adequate bracing and expansion gaps to prevent warping. We also recommend galvanized hardware and stainless steel hinges. Every gate is custom-fabricated at our Fresno shop to fit your specific opening and soil conditions.
