Call Now!Why Fence Damage Tends To Worsen
Fence damage, whether it’s from high winds, aging materials, or impact, rarely stays contained for very long. Consider a leaning fence caused by soil erosion. It may lean at a small angle now, but that angle gets progressively greater, and eventually, it could collapse outright. If it falls and damages your or your neighbor’s property, you’ll be facing a much bigger problem than just the repair.
Another example is loose hardware. One wobbly hinge or bracket can shift weight unevenly, stressing nearby connections and warping adjacent panels. The best way to avoid the accelerating nature of damage is to call now and get the repairs handled.
How Mountain State Metal Works Makes Fence Repairs Last
A repair isn’t worth much if the problem returns. If your gate doesn’t latch, panels stay loose, posts still shift, or hardware keeps slipping, the job isn’t done.
Our fence repairs last because we:
- Anchor posts deep enough to prevent future leaning
- Replace compromised hardware instead of reusing it
- Reinforce weak points rather than covering them up
- Use durable materials that match your existing fence
- Check alignment and stability before calling it done
How Do You Correct Leaning Fence Posts?
To correct leaning fence posts, it’s important to understand what causes them. Improper installation is one possibility. Some of the fences we’ve worked on weren’t planned or designed correctly, which resulted in a lean. It’s also a common byproduct of heavy wind or impact. The post may tilt slightly, but it’s just enough room to get the structure off balance and put pressure on the rest of the fence line.
The fix will usually involve digging out the post and either resetting it deeper, maybe with new concrete, or replacing it entirely if it’s damaged. Once the post is properly anchored, we can realign, reattach, and reinforce the fence section to prevent future movement.
Why Won’t Your Fence Gate Close?
A fence gate that won’t close is a frustrating issue for anyone, but even more so if you have dogs or children. In most cases, it’s caused by sagging hinges or misaligned posts. Shifting ground can throw the gate out of square as well, but even a slight lean is enough to make the latch unusable.
We start by identifying where the misalignment begins. From there, repairs will either involve adjusting the hinges, resetting the post, or replacing worn hardware.
