We R Tko Construction | Local Fence Contractors in Tulsa, OK

The main causes are Tulsa's high humidity, frequent rain, and temperature swings that trap moisture in the wood. To prevent rot, we recommend annual weatherproofing with a quality sealant, proper post installation with gravel for drainage, and keeping vegetation away from the fence. If rot has already started, we can repair or replace affected sections and apply a protective stain.

Sagging gates are usually due to loose hinges, a warped frame, or settling posts. First, check if the gate post is still plumb—if not, we may need to reset it. Often, replacing hinges with heavier-duty ones or adding a diagonal brace solves the problem. If the gate is beyond repair, we can install a new manual or automatic gate that fits perfectly and operates smoothly.

After any severe storm with high winds or hail, we recommend a quick visual inspection. Look for loose boards, cracked panels, or leaning posts. If you notice any damage, call us for a professional inspection. We’ll check for hidden issues like weakened fasteners or water damage. Prompt repairs can prevent bigger problems and keep your fence secure.
