Santex Fence & Welding - San Antonio's Trusted Wood and Vinyl Fencing

The intense Texas sun and heat cause wood to dry, shrink, and warp, while sudden windstorms common in San Antonio can blow out privacy fence panels. Metal fabrication solves this by replacing wood sections with custom-welded steel or aluminum panels that won't warp, rot, or snap. At Santex Fence & Welding, we fabricate sturdy metal frames and gate supports that integrate with existing posts, giving you the privacy you want without the constant maintenance.

Look for visible warping or bowing in wood panels, gaps between boards, loose or leaning posts, and any sections that rattle or shift in the wind. For gates, sagging or difficulty latching are clear signs of failure. If you notice these near areas like the Pearl District or Southtown, it's time to consider metal fabrication. Santex can assess your fence and recommend a mix of metal supports or a full custom steel gate system to prevent future blowouts.

Absolutely. We specialize in custom metal fabrication that complements both modern and traditional homes, from historic King William to new builds in Westover Hills. Our team can design steel or aluminum fences with decorative scrollwork, powder-coated finishes, or horizontal slats that provide privacy while resisting heat and wind. Unlike wood, a properly fabricated metal fence won't warp or blow out, so it stays looking great for decades.
