#1 Post and Rail Fencing Company in Wichita Falls, TX

Site Evaluation and Planning

The first step our team takes is thoroughly evaluating your property to determine the boundaries, terrain, problem areas, and other factors that impact the fencing. We calculate the linear footage to accurately estimate materials. We identify obstructions like trees and consider any access issues.

With an understanding of your landscape and project goals, we devise an optimal fencing layout. This planning stage is crucial for executing quality work tailored to your unique space.

Materials Selection

Next, we help you select suitable materials for durability, aesthetics, and cost-effectiveness.

Common post and rail materials include:

• Cedar – naturally resistant to rot and insects but requires sealer
• Redwood – decay-resistant but expensive
• Pine – treated with preservatives for longevity
• PVC – no maintenance vinyl fencing

Railing options include wood, PVC, or split rail. The posts are usually 4×4” or 6×6”. We source quality materials able to withstand the elements.

Fence Post Installation

Installing the fence posts properly prevents leaning and other issues down the road.

We:

• Mark post positioning with stakes and string
• Dig holes 12″-18” in diameter and 3’-4’ deep
• Set posts in concrete for maximum stability
• Space posts 8’-10’ apart for adequate strength
• Check posts for plumb/vertical alignment as concrete cures

Proper spacing, hole sizing, and setting techniques produce sturdy posts to attach the rails to.

Railing and Finishing Touches

Once the posts have set, we:

• Attach horizontal rails with galvanized brackets and screws
• Space middle railing(s) evenly between top and bottom rails
• Add decorative elements like latticing or finials
• Stain, seal, or paint per homeowners’ preferences
• Clean up thoroughly when finished

With the railing secured and beauty treatments applied, you can enjoy a stunning, long-lasting post and rail fence that adds value and personality to your landscape.
