Steve Pope's Welding | Custom Fences & Gates in Coats, NC

Sagging gates are usually a sign of worn-out hinges, a warped frame, or posts that have shifted in our sandy soil. At Steve Pope's Welding, we'll inspect your gate's hinges and frame, then weld in reinforcement brackets or replace the hinges with heavy-duty models. If the post is leaning, we can brace it with a concrete footing designed for local soil conditions. This keeps your gate swinging freely without dragging.

Often we can cut out the rusted sections and weld in new panels or tension bars, saving you the cost of a full replacement. Steve Pope's Welding will match the original mesh and frame height, then apply a rust-inhibiting primer and paint that holds up to Harnett County humidity. If the posts are still solid, we'll reinforce the connections so your fence looks uniform and stays secure for years.

For windy spots like Old Stage Road, we recommend a heavy-duty tubular steel gate with a self-latching mechanism and wind braces. Steve Pope's Welding will weld the gate to your exact width and hinge placement, using thicker wall tubing than standard farm gates. We'll also add a drop rod or ground latch so it stays closed even during storms. You'll get a gate that's easy to open but won't budge when the wind picks up.
