Commercial Fencing Fresno CA | Call True Fencing

Fresno’s hot, dry summers and occasional winter rains cause wood and vinyl fence materials to expand and contract. Prolonged sun exposure dries out boards, while moisture from rain or sprinklers can cause swelling. This repeating cycle leads to warping, cracking, and loosening of fasteners. True Fencing recommends pressure-treated wood, proper spacing, and seasonal inspections to minimize damage.

Common signs include a gate that drags on the ground, won’t latch properly, or swings open on its own. You may also notice uneven gaps between the gate and post, or hear a scraping sound when opening and closing. These issues often stem from loose hinges, a shifted post, or ground settling. True Fencing offers free alignments checks and can adjust hardware or re-set posts to restore smooth operation.

Our team first inspects the hinge mounts, post stability, and ground level. We then tighten or replace hardware, shim the hinges, and adjust the latch. If the post has shifted due to soil movement (common in Fresno’s clay soils), we may re-set it with concrete. For persistent issues, we recommend upgrading to self-closing hinges or torsion hinges for heavier gates. Every repair is backed by our local guarantee.
