Ironclad Fence Norman — Norman, OK Fence Company for Wood Privacy, Wrought Iron & Vinyl Fence Installation
Ironclad Fence Norman is a Norman, OK fence company that designs, builds and replaces residential and commercial fences across Cleveland County. Our crews install cedar and pressure-treated pine privacy fences, wrought iron and ornamental steel fences, vinyl fences, chain link and steel pipe ranch fences, plus custom driveway gates. We set every post in concrete, 24–36 inches deep on a standard 6-foot fence and below Oklahoma’s 12–18 inch frost line, and use galvanized steel posts on wood privacy fences so they stand up to central Oklahoma wind and shifting red clay soil. Every project starts with a free on-site estimate and a written, itemized quote.

Why homeowners choose us
Why We’re the Best Fence Company in Norman, OK
A fence should stand straight for decades, not lean after the first spring storm. Here’s how Ironclad Fence Norman builds and runs every job, from the first visit to the last post.
Central Oklahoma throws straight-line winds at fences, and red clay soil swells when it’s wet and shrinks when it’s dry, pushing posts out of line. We build wood privacy fences on 2-3/8″ galvanized steel posts set in concrete, 24–36 inches deep on a standard 6-foot fence and below the frost line, with gate posts set deeper. Posts go 6–8 feet apart, and boards are fastened with ring-shank or galvanized nails that hold as the wood moves.
Free On-Site Estimates with Written, Itemized Quotes
We come to your property, walk the fence line, and measure the footage, slope, gate openings and any old fence to remove. You get a written quote that lists materials, footage, gates, posts and tear-out line by line, so you can see exactly what you’re paying for and compare it fairly with other bids. There’s no cost for the visit and no pressure to sign.
Permits, HOA Paperwork and OKIE811 Handled for You
We check current City of Norman requirements and pull any required fence permit for you. If you live in an HOA, we put together the material, height and style details your board needs to approve the project. Before anyone digs, we call OKIE811 to have buried gas, power and water lines marked. It’s free and required by Oklahoma law.
Written Workmanship Warranty + Manufacturer Warranties
Every installation is backed by a written workmanship warranty that covers how the fence was built. Vinyl and aluminum products also carry their manufacturer’s warranty, often limited lifetime, and we hand you that paperwork when the job is done.
Most Residential Fences Installed in 1–3 Days
A typical backyard fence of 100–250 linear feet goes up in one to three days once materials and any permit are in hand. From your first call to a finished fence usually takes one to three weeks. Concrete needs 24–72 hours to cure, so we’ll tell you when heavy gates are ready to use.
What we build
Fence Installation Services in Norman, OK
From backyard privacy fences to ranch pipe fence and automatic driveway gates, Ironclad Fence Norman installs residential, commercial and rural fencing across Norman and Cleveland County.
Wood Privacy Fence Installation
Wood privacy fences are the fence most Norman homeowners ask us about, and the one we build most. We install 6-foot and 8-foot fences in western red cedar or pressure-treated pine, with the boards side by side, overlapped board-on-board, alternated shadowbox-style or run horizontally for a modern look. Every wood privacy fence goes up on 2-3/8″ galvanized steel posts set in concrete, so the frame won’t rot at the ground line or lean after a windstorm. Wood posts are available if you prefer them.
Most fences sold as wrought iron today are welded ornamental steel with a powder-coat finish: the same classic look, built to resist rust. We install steel and aluminum panels with spear, flat or finial tops for front yards, pools and estate entrances, with matching walk and drive gates. Aluminum is the lighter, rust-proof choice near pools and sprinklers.
Vinyl (PVC) fencing won’t rot, splinter or need staining, and it rinses clean with a hose. We install privacy, semi-privacy and picket vinyl in white, tan and wood-grain colors. Every post is set in concrete and gate posts are reinforced, so panels stay put in Oklahoma wind and wide gates don’t sag.
Chain link is the most economical way to fence a big backyard, a dog run or a business lot. We install galvanized and black vinyl-coated chain link at residential and commercial heights, with top rail, bottom tension wire and walk or drive gates. Black-coated fabric blends into lawns and trees, and privacy slats can be added later.
East Norman, Little Axe, Noble and the rest of rural Cleveland County have acreage that needs fence built for livestock. We build welded steel pipe fence with pipe posts and top rail, pipe-and-cable fence, woven field fence and barbed wire, with braced pipe corners that hold the wire tight for years. Pipe fence suits horse pastures, arenas and the frontage along a county road.
Custom Driveway Gates & Automatic Gate Openers
A gate gets more use than any other part of a fence, so we build it to carry its own weight. We install single and double walk gates, plus swing and sliding driveway gates in ornamental steel, chain link, or wood on a welded steel frame. Gate posts are set deeper and wider than line posts, and heavy gates are hung only after the concrete has cured.
Every material handles Oklahoma sun, wind, hail and freeze-thaw differently. Here’s how each one holds up, what upkeep it needs and where it fits best, so you can pick the right fence before your estimate.
01
Western Red Cedar
Cedar is the premium wood for privacy fences. Its natural oils resist rot and insects, and it shrinks, twists and splits less than pine as Oklahoma summers dry it out, so boards stay flatter and gaps stay smaller. New cedar is a warm reddish brown that weathers to silver gray unless it’s sealed. We pair cedar pickets and rails with galvanized steel posts, because even cedar breaks down where a wood post meets wet clay.

Upkeep
Stain or seal every 2–3 years
Best for
Privacy fences where looks matter, street-facing runs
02
Pressure-Treated Pine
Pressure-treated southern yellow pine is the most economical wood fence and the one you’ll see in most Norman backyards. Preservative forced deep into the wood protects it from rot and termites. Pine moves more than cedar as it dries, so we fasten every board with ring-shank nails, and we recommend waiting until the wood has dried out, usually a few weeks to a couple of months, before staining it.

10–15years
Upkeep
Stain or seal every 2–3 years
Best for
Large backyards and the most fence for your budget
03
Vinyl (PVC)
Vinyl fencing is made from PVC with UV inhibitors that keep it from yellowing or turning chalky in the Oklahoma sun. It never needs paint or stain, won’t rot and won’t give splinters to kids or pets. Wall thickness matters: heavier profiles stand up better to hail, flying debris and a stray mower. Vinyl expands in summer heat, so rails sit in routed posts with room to move instead of being screwed tight.

20–30years
Upkeep
Rinse or wash once a year
Best for
Low-maintenance yards, pools and HOA neighborhoods
04
Ornamental Steel & Aluminum
Ornamental steel is the stronger, heavier choice for security fencing and driveway gates. It’s galvanized and powder-coated, and touching up scratches keeps rust from starting. Ornamental aluminum can’t rust at all and weighs much less, which makes it the better fit near pools and sprinklers. Rackable aluminum panels also follow a sloped yard without stair-stepping.

Best for

05
Galvanized & Black Vinyl-Coated Chain Link
Chain link comes in different wire thicknesses called gauges, and a lower number means thicker, stronger wire. Galvanized chain link has a zinc coating that protects the steel. Black vinyl-coated chain link adds a second, bonded layer of protection and nearly disappears against grass and trees. Both are strong, see-through and quick to install, and privacy slats can be woven in later.

The same wood can be built several ways. Standard side-by-side boards are the simplest, but small gaps open up as the wood shrinks. Board-on-board overlaps the boards so no gaps open up, for full privacy. Shadowbox alternates boards on each side of the rails, so the fence looks the same from both sides and lets some wind through. Horizontal slats give a modern look and need posts set closer together so the boards don’t sag. Short picket fences frame front yards and gardens.

Repairs and fixes
Fence Problems We Fix in Norman, OK
Most fence problems in Norman come down to wind, clay soil and time. Here’s how to spot each one, why it happens and how we fix it so it doesn’t come back.
Fence damaged?Call and describe what you’re seeing.
Signs: Sections blown flat, snapped posts, missing or split boards
Why it happens
Central Oklahoma spring storms bring straight-line winds and hail. A solid privacy fence catches wind like a sail, and it usually fails at the posts: wood posts that have rotted at the ground line or were set too shallow give way first.
How we fix it
We check whether the posts or only the boards failed, then replace broken sections with matching material and reset or replace posts with galvanized steel in concrete. You get a written, itemized estimate you can share with your insurance company.
Leaning, Rotted or Heaving Posts (Expansive Clay Soil)
Signs: A fence line that tilts, waves or rises out of the ground
Why it happens
Norman’s red clay swells when it’s wet and shrinks when it dries. Season after season, that movement pushes posts up and out of line, and wood posts rot where they meet damp soil. Shallow footings make both problems worse.
How we fix it
We replace failed posts with 2-3/8″ galvanized steel posts set in concrete, 24–36 inches deep on a standard 6-foot fence. When the boards and rails are still sound, we can often keep them and attach them to the new posts.
Sagging or Dragging Gates
Signs: A gate that scrapes the ground, won’t latch or has to be lifted
Why it happens
A gate hangs its whole weight off one post. Over time that pulls the hinge post out of plumb, and wood gates without a proper diagonal brace rack into a parallelogram. Loose hinges and heaving soil finish the job.
How we fix it
We reset or replace the hinge post deeper in concrete, rebuild the gate on a welded steel frame or add an adjustable anti-sag kit, fit heavy-duty hinges and realign the latch so it closes on its own weight.
HOA & City Code Compliance Issues
Signs: An HOA violation letter, a failed inspection or a sale on hold
Why it happens
Common problems are a fence that’s too tall, the wrong material or color for the neighborhood, a fence in a front-yard setback or corner-lot sight triangle, or a pool gate that doesn’t self-close and latch.
How we fix it
Send us the letter or the requirement you’ve been given. We check current City of Norman and HOA rules, then lower, restyle, move or replace the sections that don’t comply, and pull any permit the work needs.
Dogs Digging Under or Jumping Over
Signs: Holes along the fence line, gaps under boards, a dog loose in the street
Why it happens
Soil washes out and settles under a fence, leaving gaps a dog can widen in an afternoon. Short fences, climbable rails on the inside face and gates that don’t latch let bigger dogs over or out.
How we fix it
We close gaps with a treated kickboard or bury a galvanized wire dig guard along the base, raise the fence height where code allows, put the smooth side of the fence toward the dog and fit self-closing gate latches.
Fence cost
What Affects the Cost of a Fence in Norman, OK?
No two yards are the same, so a price list would be wrong for most of them. These are the things that decide what your fence costs. Your written quote lists each one line by line, so you can see where the money goes and what you can change.
Footage, Height and Material
Fence work is priced mainly by the linear foot, so the length of your fence line sets the baseline. From there, height and material change how much goes into every foot.
Length and height
More feet and taller fences mean more posts, rails, boards and concrete. An 8-foot fence needs longer posts and deeper footings than a 6-foot one.
Material
Pine, cedar, vinyl, chain link and ornamental steel each sit at a different level. See the materials section above for how each one holds up.
Style
Board-on-board, shadowbox and horizontal slat fences use more boards for every foot of fence than a standard side-by-side build.
Posts
Galvanized steel posts outlast wood posts in clay soil. Gate and corner posts are heavier and set deeper.
Gates, Terrain and Old Fence Removal
Two fences of the same length can take very different amounts of work. Gates, the shape of the yard and what’s already standing there all add labor.
Gates
Each gate adds heavier posts, hardware and a latch. A double drive gate costs more than a walk gate, and an automatic opener adds the motor, controls and power.
Slope and ground
Sloped yards need stepped or racked panels. Rock, tree roots and dense red clay slow down digging.
Access
Tight side yards and backyards with no gate access mean materials are carried in by hand.
Tear-out
Removing an old fence, pulling or cutting its concrete footings and hauling it away is quoted as its own line.
Permits, HOA Approval and Property Lines
Paperwork rarely moves the total much, but it can change the plan, and the plan changes the cost. It’s best to sort it out before the first post goes in.
City permit
Many Norman projects need a fence permit or zoning review. We check current City of Norman requirements and pull any required permit for you.
HOA rules
Your HOA may set the height, material, color or style, which can rule out the most economical option.
Property line
If the line isn’t clear, a survey before you build is cheaper than moving a finished fence. Easements and setbacks can also shorten the run.
Ways to Get More Fence for Your Budget
The right choices can stretch your budget without cutting corners on the posts, which are the part that has to survive Oklahoma wind.
Mix materials
Use cedar or ornamental steel on the side the street sees, and pressure-treated pine or chain link on back and side runs.
Build to need
Go 8 feet only where you need the extra privacy, and use standard side-by-side boards where gaps don’t matter.
Share with a neighbor
Neighbors often agree to split a fence on a shared property line. We can quote it so it’s easy to divide.
Book outside spring
Spring storm season is the busiest time. Late fall and winter usually have more open dates, and posts can be set unless the ground is frozen.
Add extras later
Staining, decorative caps, kickboards and dig guards can wait. Ask which ones are worth doing now.

Building the fence is the quick part. Most of the calendar goes to scheduling, approvals and getting materials on site. Here’s what to expect from your first call to a finished fence.
Residential fence
1–3weeks
from request to finished fence
Custom gates & commercial
3–8weeks
longer material lead times
Typical Timeline from Estimate to Finished Fence
Free on-site estimate
1–3 days
Usually within a few days of your call or form. We measure, mark gates and corners, and send a written, itemized quote.
Permit & HOA approval
3–14 days
Only when your project needs it. Utility locates through OKIE811 run at the same time.
Materials
0–5 days
In-stock wood and chain link arrive fast. Vinyl, aluminum and custom iron take 1–4 weeks to arrive.
Installation
1–3 days
A typical 100–250 foot residential fence, gates included, is built on consecutive days.
Concrete cure
24–72 hours
Footings keep curing before heavy gates take daily use. The fence itself is up and closing off the yard right away.
Weather & Permit Delays
Most delays come from things nobody controls. We tell you as soon as one affects your date, and we don’t cut corners to make up the time.
Rain and wet clay
Norman’s red clay turns to sticky mud after a heavy rain, and post holes fill with water. We wait a day or two for the ground to drain instead of setting posts in mud, because footings poured in saturated soil don’t hold as well.
Frozen ground and ice
Concrete shouldn’t be poured into frozen ground, so hard freezes and ice storms can push a winter install back a few days. Most Oklahoma winters still have plenty of workable days.
Storm season
After spring hail and wind storms, demand for fence repair and replacement jumps across Cleveland County. Booking your estimate early in the year keeps you ahead of the rush.
Permits and HOA reviews
City review times vary, and some HOAs only approve plans at a monthly board meeting. A complete application with a site sketch, height and material avoids a second round. We prepare it with you and track it until it’s approved.
How it works
Our 5-Step Fence Installation Process
From the first visit to the final latch check, here’s exactly what we handle and the little you need to do.
01
1. Free On-Site Estimate & Measurements
We walk the fence line with you, measure every run, and mark corners, gates and anything in the way: slope, trees, sprinkler heads, an old fence. We talk through height, material and style, then send a written, itemized quote. No obligation.
Your part: Show us where you want the fence and the gates.
02
2. Permits, HOA Approval & OKIE811 Utility Locate
We check current City of Norman requirements and pull any required permit. If you have an HOA, we prepare the application with a site sketch, height, material and color. Before any digging we call OKIE811, the free locate service Oklahoma law requires, so utility lines are marked.
Your part: Flag private lines 811 doesn’t mark, like sprinklers, invisible dog fence wire or a gas line to a grill.
03
3. Material Selection & Scheduling
You confirm the final material, color, style and gate hardware. We order anything that isn’t in stock and give you an install date once materials and approvals are in hand. Before work starts, we’ll show proof of insurance.
Your part: Clear the fence line of furniture, planters and toys, and keep pets inside on install days.
04
4. Professional Installation
We tear out the old fence if there is one, run a string line and dig post holes 24–36 inches deep for a standard 6-foot fence, deeper for gates. Galvanized steel posts are set in concrete and checked for plumb, then rails, boards or panels go on and gates are hung and latched.
Your part: Nothing. You don’t need to be home, as long as we can reach the yard.
05
5. Final Walkthrough & Warranty
We walk the finished fence with you, checking that every gate swings and latches and the line runs straight. Anything on your list gets fixed before we call it done. We haul away debris and leave you the written workmanship warranty, any manufacturer warranty and care tips.
Your part: Walk it with us and point out anything you want adjusted.
Step 1 is free and there’s no obligation. Most estimates are scheduled within a few days.
Do I need a permit to build a fence in Norman, OK?
It depends on the fence. The City of Norman regulates fences through its zoning code (Section 36-552), and taller fences can also need a building permit from Development Services. The height and placement rules apply whether or not a permit is required: a fence forward of the front setback line must be under 4 feet tall, and fences near driveways and street corners can't block drivers' view. We check the current City of Norman requirements for your lot and pull any permit your fence needs. If you have an HOA, it may need to approve the plans separately.
How tall can a backyard fence be in Norman? Can I build an 8-foot fence?
Yes, in most cases. Under Norman's zoning code, fences along side and rear property lines can be up to 8 feet tall. Going higher takes written consent from the neighbor whose property the fence borders, or approval from the Board of Adjustment. On larger agricultural and residential-estate lots (A-1, A-2 and RE zoning), the city can also approve taller fences through an administrative review. In front yards, a fence that sits forward of the required setback line must be less than 4 feet tall. HOA rules are often stricter than the city's, so check those too.
What determines the price of a privacy fence?
The main factors are the length of the fence line, its height, and the material and style. Pine, cedar and vinyl each sit at a different level, and board-on-board or horizontal designs use more material than standard side-by-side boards. Posts matter too: galvanized steel posts cost more than wood up front but last much longer in clay soil. Gates, slopes, rock or tree roots, removing an old fence, and permit or HOA requirements also change the total. We measure your yard at a free on-site estimate and give you a written quote that lists each item.
Cedar vs. pine: which wood fence lasts longer in Oklahoma?
Cedar usually lasts longer. Western red cedar has natural oils that resist rot and insects, and it shrinks and warps less as it dries, so in central Oklahoma a cedar fence typically lasts about 15 to 20 years. Pressure-treated pine is the more economical choice and typically lasts about 10 to 15 years. Both should be stained or sealed every 2 to 3 years, and both last longest on galvanized steel posts, because wood posts are usually the first part to rot where they meet wet clay.
Is vinyl fencing worth it in Oklahoma heat and wind?
For many homeowners, yes. Quality vinyl contains UV inhibitors so it doesn't yellow or turn brittle in the sun, it never needs paint or stain, and it won't rot or attract termites. It typically lasts 20 to 30 years. The things to watch are wind and hail: thicker panels and reinforced rails hold up better, and a solid privacy fence catches a lot of wind, so post spacing and footings matter. Vinyl also expands in summer heat, so it has to be installed with room to move.
How deep should fence posts be in Oklahoma clay soil?
A good rule of thumb is about one-third of the fence's above-ground height: 24 to 36 inches for a standard 6-foot fence, and deeper for gate posts and taller fences. Posts should also sit below the frost line, which is shallow in central Oklahoma. Norman's red clay swells when it's wet and shrinks when it dries, which pushes shallow posts out of line, so we set every post in concrete and build wood privacy fences on galvanized steel posts.
Steel posts or wood posts: which is better?
For most privacy fences in Oklahoma, galvanized steel posts are the better choice. They don't rot, warp or attract termites, and they hold up better in high wind. Wood posts look more traditional and cost less up front, but they tend to rot at the ground line, which is usually what makes a wood fence lean or blow over. Steel posts can sit behind the boards so they're hidden from one side. We install both and will explain the trade-offs at your estimate.
How long does a wood fence last in Oklahoma, and how often should a fence be replaced?
In central Oklahoma, a pressure-treated pine fence typically lasts 10 to 15 years and a cedar fence 15 to 20 years, with staining every 2 to 3 years. Vinyl typically lasts 20 to 30 years, galvanized chain link 15 to 25 years and ornamental aluminum 30 years or more. It's time to replace a fence when posts are rotting or leaning along much of the line, boards are splitting faster than you can fix them, or repairs keep adding up. If only a few posts or sections have failed, a repair is often the better value.
Can you repair my fence instead of replacing it?
Often, yes. If the problem is a few broken boards, one leaning section or a sagging gate, a repair usually costs far less than a new fence. We can replace failed posts with galvanized steel posts set in concrete and reattach the boards and rails that are still sound. If most of the posts are rotted or the wood is near the end of its life, replacing the fence is usually the better value. We'll tell you which makes sense at your estimate.
What are Oklahoma's fence laws for property lines and shared fences?
Oklahoma's partition fence laws, in Title 4 of the Oklahoma Statutes, mostly deal with rural land and livestock: they cover how neighbors share the cost and upkeep of a fence on a shared boundary, and disputes can be referred to local fence viewers. In town, a fence on or near the property line is usually a private matter between neighbors. Many neighbors split the cost, and it's wise to put any agreement in writing. Before building, confirm where the line is, check your plat for easements and follow Norman's height rules. For a dispute, talk to a real estate attorney.
Is Oklahoma a fence-in or fence-out state?
Oklahoma is generally a fence-in state. State law (Title 4, Section 98 of the Oklahoma Statutes) requires owners of cattle, horses, goats and other domestic animals to keep them from running at large, so the responsibility falls on the livestock owner to fence animals in, not on neighbors to fence them out. If you keep livestock on acreage around Norman, a sound perimeter fence is part of meeting that duty. We build steel pipe, field fence and barbed wire fencing for farms and ranches.
Do I need a property survey before building a fence?
Not always, but it's a good idea if you're not sure exactly where your property line is. A survey before you build costs far less than moving a finished fence or settling a dispute with a neighbor. Your plat shows the lot lines and any easements, and the original survey pins may still be in the ground. If the pins are missing or the line is unclear, hire a licensed land surveyor. Many homeowners also set the fence a few inches inside the line to be safe.
What are the pool fence requirements in Norman?
According to the City of Norman, on lots under 2 acres a swimming pool must be completely enclosed by a fence or barrier at least 4 feet tall, or by a screen enclosure. Openings in the barrier must not let a 4-inch sphere pass through, and the gate must be self-latching. Pools need their own city permit. We build pool fences in ornamental aluminum, vinyl and other materials to meet these rules, with self-closing, self-latching gates.
Does homeowners insurance cover storm fence damage?
Often, yes. Most homeowners policies cover fences under "other structures" coverage when the damage comes from a covered event such as wind, hail, a falling tree or a vehicle. Policies usually don't pay for rot, age, termites or a fence that was already failing, and your deductible applies. Check your policy or ask your agent. We can document the damage and give you a written, itemized estimate to send to your insurer.
Do you handle HOA approval paperwork?
Yes. Send us your HOA's fence guidelines and we'll design the fence to meet its rules on height, material, color and style. We prepare the site sketch and material details most HOAs ask for and help you submit the application. Wait for written approval before work starts, because a fence built without it may have to be changed or removed.
Do you remove and haul away my old fence?
Yes. We can tear out your old fence, pull or break out the old concrete footings and haul everything away, so the new fence can go in on the same line. Removal is listed as its own line on your written quote.
When is the best time of year to install a fence in Norman?
Fences can be built in Norman almost all year. Spring is the busiest season, especially after storms, so wait times are longer. Late summer, fall and winter often have more open dates, and posts can be set in winter unless the ground is frozen. Heavy rain causes most delays, because saturated clay needs a day or two to drain. If you want the fence up by a certain date, schedule your estimate a few weeks ahead.
Do you offer a warranty?
Yes. Every installation is backed by a written workmanship warranty, and vinyl and aluminum products also carry the manufacturer's warranty, which is often a limited lifetime warranty. We'll go over exactly what's covered, and for how long, before you sign.
Repairs
Fence Repair in Norman, OK
Not every damaged fence needs replacing. We repair wood, vinyl, chain link and ornamental steel fences and gates, including fences another company built.
After a storm we replace blown-out boards and panels, rebuild flattened sections and reset or replace the posts that gave way, so the repaired run is stronger than before. We match your existing material and style as closely as we can.
Broken boards, pickets and panels
Flattened or twisted sections
Snapped or uprooted posts
Fences hit by falling trees or limbs
Photos and an itemized estimate for your insurer
Post Replacement & Leaning Fence Repair
Most leaning fences fail at the posts. We pull rotted or heaving posts, set galvanized steel posts in concrete and straighten the line, keeping the boards and rails that are still sound. It’s often the fix that saves a whole fence from replacement.
Rotted wood posts at the ground line
Leaning or wavy fence lines
Posts pushed up by clay soil
Loose rails and sagging panels
Chain link re-stretched and re-tied
Gate Repair
Gates work harder than any other part of a fence. We reset hinge posts, square up racked frames, add anti-sag bracing or rebuild the frame in steel, and fit new hinges and latches so the gate swings freely and closes on its own.
Sagging or dragging gates
Gates that won’t latch
Broken hinges, latches and handles
Self-closing hardware for pool gates
Driveway gates that bind or drift

Fence Staining, Commercial Fencing & Removal
Beyond new fences and repairs, we keep wood fences looking good, fence commercial properties and clear out old fences.
Fence Staining & Sealing
Oklahoma sun and rain gray out bare wood within a season or two. A quality penetrating stain with UV protection slows that down, repels water and helps boards resist cracking and warping. We clean the fence first, then stain both sides if you want, and we’ll tell you when new pressure-treated pine is dry enough to take stain. Plan to restain every 2 to 3 years.
New fences once the wood is ready
Cleaning and restaining older fences
Clear, semi-transparent and solid stains
Commercial & Security Fencing
We build fencing for businesses, churches, apartment communities and other properties around Norman: chain link for storage yards and sports courts, ornamental steel for storefronts and entrances, and wood or vinyl screening. Norman’s zoning code requires commercial, industrial and multifamily lots that border single-family homes to be screened with a solid, opaque fence at least 6 feet tall, with no barbed wire or corrugated metal, and we build to that standard.
Screening fences next to homes
Taller chain link and ornamental steel
Access, vehicle and pedestrian gates
Old Fence Removal
We take down old wood, chain link, vinyl and wire fences, pull or break out the concrete footings and haul everything away. Removal is usually part of a replacement, but we also remove fences on their own when you’re clearing a yard, regrading or getting ready to sell. We call OKIE811 before digging out footings.
Tear-out before a new fence
