ROR Custom & Construction | Experienced Commercial Fencing in Rayne, LA

Gate alignment problems in our area are often due to soil settlement and heavy rain that shifts the posts over time. The clay-heavy ground in Rayne can cause posts to lean, throwing the gate off-kilter. Another common cause is worn hinges or hardware, especially for gates that get frequent use. At ROR Custom & Construction, we assess the root cause—whether it's post movement or hardware failure—and fix it so your gate swings smoothly again.

Look for visible gaps between the pickets or rails, or sections that wobble when you push them gently. Also, if you notice a section of fence leaning slightly or see screws pulling out, those are clear signs. In Rayne's humid climate, wood can swell and shrink, loosening fasteners over time. If left unchecked, loose panels can lead to further sagging or even collapse. We recommend an annual inspection—call us, and we'll check every post and fastener to catch issues early.

The right fix depends on the cause. If the posts are still solid but the panels have pulled away, we can re-secure them with corrosion-resistant screws and add brackets for extra stability. For wood rot or termite damage, we replace the affected sections. If the posts themselves are loose, we often replace them or use concrete anchors to re-set them deep into the ground. ROR Custom & Construction uses materials suited for our local conditions, so your fence stays tight and sturdy through all seasons.
