Preguntas frecuentes

  • What's the difference between metal and wood fencing?

    Metal fencing offers superior durability and requires less maintenance, while wood fencing provides a traditional look and can be more budget-friendly upfront. Metal is ideal for security and long-term performance, especially in Oklahoma's variable weather. At Custom Welding Solutions OKC, we can also combine wood with metal posts for added strength.
  • How long does a custom metal carport last?

    A properly fabricated metal carport can last 20 to 30 years or more with minimal maintenance. The longevity depends on material quality, welding precision, and local weather exposure. Custom Welding Solutions OKC designs carports to withstand Oklahoma City's heat, storms, and wind conditions.
  • Can you combine metal posts with wood fencing?

    Yes, metal posts can be combined with wood fencing to increase structural support and extend the lifespan of the fence. This hybrid approach is especially useful in areas with high wind or soil movement. At Custom Welding Solutions OKC, we've used this method across many residential properties in the Greater OKC area.
  • What affects the cost of a custom metal gate?

    Cost depends on gate size, design complexity, material type, and whether automation or locking mechanisms are included. Custom fabrication and precise welding also add to the overall investment. At Custom Welding Solutions OKC, we tailor each gate to fit your fencing and access needs.
  • How do you maintain a plastic fence?

    Plastic fencing requires minimal maintenance—typically just occasional cleaning with soap and water to remove dirt and mildew. It won't rot, warp, or need repainting like wood. Custom Welding Solutions OKC installs plastic fencing with attention to alignment and long-term performance in Oklahoma City's climate.
  • What's the biggest mistake people make with metal fencing?

    The most common mistake is choosing poor-quality welds or improper post installation, which leads to sagging or rust over time. Proper fabrication and secure anchoring are essential for durability. At Custom Welding Solutions OKC, we focus on quality welds and structural integrity backed by 17 years of experience.
  • Do metal pergolas hold up in Oklahoma weather?

    Yes, metal pergolas are highly durable and resist warping, rot, and pest damage common with wood structures. They handle Oklahoma's heat, wind, and storms very well when properly fabricated and installed. Custom Welding Solutions OKC designs pergolas with both strength and visual appeal in mind.
  • When should you schedule fence repair welding?

  • How does custom welding work for one-off projects?

    Custom welding starts with understanding your specifications and functional needs, then designing and fabricating the piece to match. Each project is built with precision and craftsmanship.
