Sanchez Fence | Trusted Fence Builders in Austin, TX

Austin's clay soil expands and contracts with moisture, which can cause fence posts to shift or rot. We combat this by digging posts deeper than standard—typically 24 to 30 inches—and filling the hole with gravel for drainage before setting the post in concrete. This keeps the base stable and prevents water from pooling around the wood. For metal or vinyl posts, we use similar techniques to ensure long-term alignment.

We install a variety of materials including vinyl, wood, wrought iron, chain link, and aluminum. Each has its own benefits: vinyl is low-maintenance, wood offers a classic look, wrought iron adds elegance, chain link is cost-effective for security, and aluminum resists rust. We'll help you choose the best option based on your budget, style, and property needs.

Yes, we frequently repair automatic gates that have become misaligned due to ground settling or wear. Our process includes checking the gate's hinges, tracks, and motor alignment, then adjusting or replacing components as needed. We also inspect the opener's sensors and wiring to ensure smooth, safe operation. For Austin homeowners, we recommend periodic maintenance to prevent alignment issues caused by soil movement.
