Trusted Wood and Vinyl Fencing in Leander, TX 78641 - RB's Welding & Fabrication

Wood warping is common in Leander due to intense sun and temperature swings. The heat dries out the wood unevenly, causing it to twist or bow. Our solution involves assessing the damage—we can often reinforce the warped sections with metal brackets or replace them entirely. For new installations, we recommend using treated lumber and applying a high-quality weatherproofing sealant to minimize future warping. We also offer metal fence options that resist heat damage completely.

A dragging gate often signals a gate alignment issue, which is common in Leander's clay-rich soil that shifts with moisture changes. This can stress hinges and posts over time. It's a sign that your gate's hardware or posts may need adjustment. We'll inspect the hinges, latches, and posts, realign the gate, and reinforce the structure. If needed, we can install a new manual or automatic gate system that's built to handle local soil conditions.

Absolutely. Weatherproofing is key to extending your fence's life in Leander's climate. We start by cleaning and sanding the surface, then apply a high-quality stain or sealant that blocks UV rays and moisture. This helps prevent warping, cracking, and rot. We also check for any existing damage and make repairs first, ensuring the weatherproofing bonds properly. Regular reapplication every 2-3 years is recommended for best results.
