Expert Fence Installation in Tyler, TX 75703 - T&W Fencing

Gate sagging often results from heavy gates, loose hinges, or posts shifting in Tyler’s clay-rich soil. Over time, moisture changes cause posts to heave, pulling gates out of alignment. Rusted or undersized hardware also contributes. T&W Fencing reinforces posts with concrete footings and uses heavy-duty galvanized hinges to prevent sagging.

Look for orange-brown stains on hinges, latches, or screws, especially near the ground. In Tyler’s humid climate, metal hardware can corrode quickly. You may also notice stiff operation or difficulty latching. T&W Fencing recommends annual inspections and can replace rusted components with stainless steel or powder-coated options.

The best solution is to replace old hardware with corrosion-resistant materials like stainless steel or galvanized steel. T&W Fencing also applies a protective coating to existing hardware and ensures proper drainage around posts to reduce moisture. For advanced rust, we replace the affected sections and treat the area to prevent recurrence.
