How we build a fence that stays straight

Most fences around here fail the same few ways: posts that lean in the clay, gates that sag, and a contractor who's hard to reach once the check clears. Here's what we do about each one. Cody has built fences around here for over 12 years, and he still measures every job himself.

Stained cedar slide gate on a steel frame

What goes into the fence

Posts set in concrete, deep enough for the clay they're in. Blackland clay swells and shrinks with the weather, and shallow posts are why so many fences around here lean.
Galvanized steel posts available on wood fences. They don't rot at the ground line, which is where wood posts usually fail.
Heavier gate posts, because the gate post carries the most weight and takes a beating every day.
Gates built in our shop on welded steel frames, measured for your opening, so they hang straight and don't drag.
Cap-and-trim and kickboards when you want the more finished look and a bottom board that keeps the pickets off the dirt.
Stain applied by us, not left as an extra for you to figure out later.
