ProForma Contracting: Experienced Fence Contractors Serving San Antonio, TX 78217

Gate sagging typically results from loose hinges, shifting posts due to soil expansion, or heavy gate weight. The heat can dry out wood, causing it to shrink and twist, which loosens fasteners. ProForma inspects and tightens hinges, replaces worn hardware, and may re-anchor or brace posts to restore proper alignment.

Signs include visible cupping or twisting of boards, gaps between panels, and difficulty opening gates. In San Antonio’s intense sun, untreated wood can dry out and warp. ProForma recommends checking for cracked or splintered boards and ensuring proper staining or sealing to reflect UV rays.

ProForma suggests removing the damaged boards and replacing them with treated wood or heat-resistant composite materials. They also reinforce the underlying frame to prevent future warping. For severe damage, full panel replacement might be needed, with optional moisture barriers to extend lifespan.
