Sliding Gate Repair in Frisco, TX: Complete Post and Track Replacement

The Challenge: Soil Shifting and Tree Root Damage In Frisco and across the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, shifting Texas soil and aggressive tree roots are common culprits behind failing automatic gates. For this recent project, an invasive tree root system had severely compromised the gate's foundation.

The main support post was leaning dangerously, and the concrete track foundation had cracked and sagged. This severe misalignment put immense strain on the gate operator motor, preventing the sliding gate from opening and closing smoothly and creating a significant security risk for the property.

The A.S. Gate & Fence Solution To restore full functionality and ensure long-term reliability, our expert technicians executed a comprehensive structural rebuild. Rather than just applying a quick patch, we addressed the root cause of the foundation failure.

• Root Excavation & Demolition: We began by digging out the invasive tree roots along the fence line and utilizing a heavy-duty jackhammer to break up and remove the old, failing concrete track.

• Structural Reinforcement: A new, heavy-gauge steel main post was leveled, installed, and anchored deep into a fresh concrete footing to withstand future soil movement and hold the heavy sliding gate securely.

• Custom Concrete Track Foundation: We trenched, framed, and laid steel rebar to pour a brand-new, reinforced concrete foundation spanning the entire length of the gate's path.

• Precision V-Track Installation: Once the concrete was poured and expertly finished, a new galvanized V-track was perfectly leveled and secured, ensuring a frictionless, perfectly balanced glide for the automatic sliding gate.
