Replacing a Rusted Gate
We cut out the old frame, weld a new one from schedule 40 pipe, and hang it on heavy-duty hinges. The latch gets a stainless steel catch that won't seize.

Local service
Proudly serving Wimberley
Wimberley sits on the edge of the Hill Country, with its limestone bluffs, creek bottoms, and live oak groves. The housing stock runs from old stone cottages in the historic district to sprawling ranch houses on acreage. Summer heat and flash floods test any gate or fence, and the rocky ground calls for experienced fabricators who can anchor posts in real stone. Spread-out properties mean a lot of linear footage, and the terrain demands work that fits the land, not a subdivision spec.
Our crew loads up in Dripping Springs and heads southwest on Ranch Road 12 with a fully stocked welding rig. We work on site, parking where we can, setting up a clean work zone, and running leads to the job. The truck carries steel, pipe, gates, and railings cut to fit what we saw on the estimate. We handle the mess: grindings, cut-offs, and packaging go back with us. Being this close to Wimberley means we know the roads, the soil, and the shortcuts.
Walker Welding works across Dripping Springs, TX and the surrounding Hill Country, so a crew is never far from Wimberley. Call (512) 497-1674 or request a free estimate and we’ll come out and take a look.
Local demand
What Wimberley homeowners call us for
Farm Gate Repair
Heavy tube gates take a beating from livestock and weather. We weld broken hinges, replace sagging latches, and reinforce frames on site to keep the gate swinging true.
Pipe Fencing
Sch 40 pipe is standard for Wimberley acreage. We cut, fit, and weld each section to the terrain, setting posts in concrete or drilling into limestone for a fence that holds stock.
Custom Metalwork
Outdoor kitchens, fire pits, and patio covers call for welded steel that matches the Hill Country look. We build to your sketch, adding brackets, grills, and counter supports.
Structural Welding
Old barns, equipment sheds, and porch roofs need reinforcement. We weld in new beams, splice rusted columns, and repair trusses without removing the roof.
Typical projects
The kind of work we take on in Wimberley
Building a Pipe Corral
We set posts in concrete, run horizontal rails, and weld every joint. The gate swings wide enough for a truck and trailer to pass through.
Adding a Handrail
We measure the rise and run, cut steel tubing, weld the posts to base plates, and bolt them into the concrete. The top rail is smooth and comfortable to grip.

Where we work
Across Wimberley
Cypress Creek Corridor
Homes along the creek need gates and railings that resist moisture and occasional flooding. We use galvanized steel and stainless hardware to keep rust at bay.
Ranch Road 12 Frontage
Long driveways and entry gates off the highway get heavy use. We install swing gates with adjustable hinges and weld pipe fencing that matches the rural character.
Outlying Acreage
Properties on Fischer Store Road and beyond need perimeter fencing, cattle guards, and equipment gates. We work around steep grades and rock outcroppings.

“Jerry replaced/repaired our driveway access 14' electric-opened farm gate. He responded to my initial inquiry right away, and did the job within a day which helped us out a lot. From start to finish, communication was great, both text and speaking over the phone. He sourced the new gate and all other materials for the job. He showed up on time, did the work well, actually improved the design of our gate, and cleaned up when he was done. Price was reasonable. I would not hesitate to recommend him.”

“I highly recommend hiring Walker welding for all welding services. My front gate broke off the hinges completely. I called Jerry and the day of him and his wife came by to check out the gate. He quickly ordered new hinges and as soon as they came in, he was back at my house within 48 hours installing the hinges perfectly and leveling my gate better than before! Jerry did a great job and the cost was very reasonable.”

“Walker Welding did a fantastic job on the pool fence, step rail and gate for our unusual pila pool. The work was fast, super well done, and fairly priced. What nice people too. Highly recommend.”

“We called him as a result of a referral from a friend. Jerry came out to look at what we needed to install a small privacy gate at our house. He provided us some suggestions as to the proper location and gave us an honest time frame as to when he would be able to complete the project. He was spot on and his fee was extremely reasonable. His work is excellent.”

“Truly a class act. Not only the best, most trustworthy welder in town, but also one of the best contractors I've ever come across. We had an unusual request for Jerry to install a metal ramp on our steep driveway. Jerry came by to take a look at the driveway and was incredibly proactive in suggesting the most effective and safest option. Every part of the process was absolutely flawless.”
