Why people call about this.
Nobody sells what you need
If it is steel and you can describe it, it can usually be built.
Something broke
A weld repair is often a fraction of the cost of replacing the whole thing.
The store-bought one keeps failing
A piece built heavier for how you actually use it lasts.
ENNIS, TX
Welding & Custom Metal Fabrication in Ennis: what’s different here.
Ennis is a railroad town of about 20,000 people (2020 census) in eastern Ellis County, 35 miles south of Dallas on I-45, founded by the Houston and Texas Central Railroad in 1871 and settled heavily by Czech and Slovak families. It is the Official Bluebonnet City of Texas and is growing, with new subdivisions on the edge of town and acre-plus homesites out in the county. The City of Ennis code FAQ says fences under 8 feet do not need a permit, but asks owners to call the Inspections Department (972-875-6442) first to confirm setbacks; HOA guidelines still apply in the newer subdivisions, and Texas811 locates are needed before any post holes.
Carports, Decks & Rails in Ennis
On open Ennis acreage a carport or RV cover is exposed to wind from every side across flat prairie, so the posts need to be anchored in concrete deep enough to hold in heaving clay, and decks and handrails on older houses near downtown usually have to meet porches that have settled out of level.
The ground
Ennis sits on Blackland Prairie clay (the Kachina Prairie preserve in town protects a remnant of it), which swells in a wet spring and cracks open in August, so post depth and concrete matter more than the boards on top.
Homes and lots
Older frame houses on the streets around downtown, newer HOA subdivisions such as Prairie View, Stonewyck Farms and Christian Meadows, and acre-plus homesites off SH-34, US-287 and the county roads toward Lake Bardwell.
