Frequently Asked Questions

Why do wooden fences in Mendenhall tend to rot or warp quickly?

The combination of high humidity, frequent rain, and intense summer heat in central Mississippi accelerates moisture damage in wood fences. Poor drainage around fence posts and lack of proper sealing are common causes. Southern Doors recommends using pressure-treated lumber and applying a high-quality weatherproofing stain. We also install gravel or concrete footings to keep posts dry, extending the life of your fence by years.

What are clear signs that my fence or gate needs repair after a storm?

After a severe storm, look for leaning or loose posts, cracked or splintered boards, and gates that drag or won’t latch properly. Rust on metal hinges or automatic opener components is another red flag. Southern Doors offers free inspections in Mendenhall to assess storm damage. We can replace individual boards, re-set posts, and repair or replace automatic gate openers to restore security and function quickly.

Can Southern Doors convert my manual gate to an automatic one to improve security?

Absolutely. We install automatic gate openers for both swing and sliding gates, including keypad entry, remote controls, and intercom systems. This is a popular upgrade for homes and businesses near Mendenhall’s commercial districts. We handle everything from wiring and sensor installation to gate reinforcement, ensuring the system operates smoothly with your existing fence. Our team also provides ongoing maintenance and repair for automatic gates.
