🚧 FENCE FAIL FRIDAY 🚧
A gate can look perfectly fine the day it’s installed… but the real test comes after it has been through a Texas summer, rain, wind, and everyday use.

This one didn’t pass the test.

Sagging, dragging, twisting, poor alignment — these are some of the most common problems we’re called out to repair. Most of the time, the problem isn’t the gate itself. It’s how the gate was designed, supported, framed, and installed from the beginning.

A properly built gate should be designed to handle the weight and movement that comes with years of use — not just look good long enough to collect the final payment.

At Butler Contracting, we’ve been building and repairing fences and gates across Bastrop County for more than a decade. We believe in building them right the first time.

✅ Experienced local fence contractor
✅ AFA Certified Gate Professionals
✅ Metal-framed gate systems

Troubleshooting Tuesday: Anyone Have a Gate Stretcher? 😆 This customer had spent years trying to keep Fido contained. They tried adding wire, making repairs, and even resorted to a pool noodle — but the truth was, their old gate simply wasn’t adequate for what they needed.

Butler Contracting gave the entrance a serious upgrade with a new custom driveway gate and U.S. Automatic solar gate operator system.

Now they have:
✅ Better curb appeal
✅ Fido safely contained
✅ Convenient automatic entry
✅ Reliable solar-powered operation
✅ A system backed by a great manufacturer warranty
✅ Professional installation by the only American Fence Association Certified Gate Contractor in Bastrop County

Automatic gates aren’t something you want installed by just anyone. Proper design, safety, operator selection, and installation all matter.

Sometimes you don’t need another patch — you need the right gate.

BEFORE ➡️ AFTER | Sometimes the gate is the easy part. This project came with a few surprises.

When the property was originally built, someone thought it was a good idea to run the electrical conduit feeding the shop/garage directly underneath the future fence and gate line. To make matters worse, the conduit was not buried to the proper depth.

Then the original fence installer came along, set the gate post anyway, and encapsulated the electrical conduit inside the concrete footing.

Not exactly ideal. 😬

Replacing a failed gate system suddenly became a much more complicated project.

Our team had to carefully work around the existing electrical infrastructure and develop a creative solution that would give this large double gate the structural support it needed without creating another problem underground.

But that’s what we do. We solve problems.

The finished system features properly designed structural gate frames, heavy-duty hardware, and a gate setup built for long-term performance—without dragging, sagging, wheels, or makeshift repairs.

A properly designed gate doesn't have to break the bank. It just needs to be designed and installed correctly.

And qualifying Butler Contracting wood gates are backed by our No Sag Gate Guarantee™.

When your project isn't as simple as it looked on paper, call the team that knows how to figure it out.

🔧 Troubleshooting Tuesday: The Blown Fuse Was Just the Beginning

This automatic gate came in with a pretty simple complaint: it wasn’t working.

At first glance, we found a blown fuse. Easy fix, right? Not quite.

Once we started properly diagnosing the system, we also found the batteries needed to be replaced — and that opened the door to a whole list of additional installation and safety concerns that need to be addressed.

This is exactly why we don’t believe in simply replacing the failed part and walking away.

Automatic gates are moving pieces of equipment. A system can technically “work” while still having electrical, mechanical, or safety issues that could lead to another failure — or something much more serious.

At Butler Contracting, we troubleshoot the entire gate system, not just the first problem we find.

✅ Electrical diagnostics
✅ Battery & charging system checks
✅ Operator inspection
✅ Safety device evaluation
✅ Overall gate system assessment

A blown fuse tells you something failed. The real question is WHY.

That’s the difference between swapping parts and actually diagnosing an automatic gate system.
