Metal Fabrication & Fence Installation in Emigrant Gap, CA | Willy's Custom Metal

We see a lot of soil erosion around fence posts in this area, especially after heavy snowmelt or rain. For new installations, we set posts deeper than standard—often using concrete footings that extend below the frost line—and we choose corrosion-resistant hardware. For existing gates or fences affected by erosion, we can reinforce the posts with metal sleeves or replace them with heavier-duty steel posts that resist shifting. We also check the drainage around the post base to prevent future problems.

We're a full custom metal fabrication shop. Besides fences and gates, we build outdoor furniture, awnings, BBQ islands, staircases, hand railings, fitness equipment, and even trailer frames. We work with steel, stainless steel, and aluminum using MIG, TIG, and Stick welding. If you have an idea—like a custom gate for a driveway or a unique railing for a deck—we can design and build it from scratch.

Yes, we repair all brands of automatic gates, including sliding, swing, and cantilever models. Common issues include motor failure, sensor misalignment, and worn-out gears. Because we're based right in Emigrant Gap near the I-80 exit, we can usually get to most properties in the area within a day or two. We also carry common replacement parts so we can often fix the problem on the first visit.
