Western Fence & Supply Company - Los Angeles's Best Fence Builders

Leaning fences are often caused by loose or rotted posts, poor soil compaction, or water damage. The solution depends on the severity: we can reinforce the posts with concrete or replace them entirely. Our team assesses the soil and structural issues to provide a lasting repair. For minor leans, we might re-set the posts; for major ones, we install new posts with proper depth and concrete footings.

Common signs include difficulty opening or closing, visible gaps between the gate and latch, and uneven spacing along the bottom. Sagging usually results from weak hinges, a warped frame, or loose hardware. We tighten or replace hinges, adjust the latch, and sometimes add a tension cable to lift the gate. If the frame is damaged, we recommend a replacement.

We start by reinforcing the hardware—replacing hinges or adding a third hinge. Then we check the gate's frame for twisting and straighten it with metal brackets or a diagonal brace. If the post is leaning, we first stabilize the post. This approach often restores proper alignment without needing a full replacement, saving you time and money.
