Why us
Why Choose Us for Security Fencing in Norman, OK
A security fence is only as strong as its weakest point. We look for that point before we build.
-
Designed Around the Threat
We look at how someone would get past your fence (over, through, under or the gate) and build against each one.
-
As Tall as Code Allows
We confirm the height limits for your lot and zoning, then build to the most security they allow.
-
Gates That Don’t Undo the Fence
Heavier posts, lift-proof hinges, lockable latches and access control, so the gate isn’t the weak spot.
-
Security You Can See Through
We favor see-through designs so nobody can hide behind the fence, unless privacy is what you need.

Questions
Security Fence FAQ — Norman, OK
What's the most secure fence for a home?
For most homes, tall ornamental steel with spear or bowed tops and no horizontal rails near the top on the outside. It's hard to climb, very hard to cut, and you can see through it, so nobody can hide behind it. Pair it with a gate that has tamper-resistant hinges and a lockable latch.
How tall can a security fence be in Norman?
For homes, side and rear fences can typically be up to 8 feet, and front-yard fences forward of the setback must stay under 4 feet. Commercial and industrial limits depend on zoning and approvals. We confirm the limits for your property before we design the fence.
Can I put barbed wire on my security fence?
It depends on zoning. Barbed wire is often restricted on residential property, and it isn't allowed on screening fences between businesses and homes in Norman. On some commercial and industrial lots it's permitted on top of chain link. We check your site's zoning before quoting it.
Should a security fence be see-through?
Usually, yes. A see-through fence lets you, your neighbors, passing patrols and cameras see anyone near the house or yard, and gives an intruder nowhere to work unseen. Solid privacy fences block views both ways, which can work against security.
How do you make a gate secure?
With heavier gate posts, hinges whose pins can't be lifted out, a latch that takes a padlock or a keyed lock box, and a frame built to the same height and spacing as the fence. For vehicle gates, an automatic opener with keypad or phone access controls who comes in.
Do you install cameras or alarms?
No, we build the fence and gates. We're happy to coordinate with your security company so posts, gates and conduit are where their cameras, intercoms and sensors need them.
Ornamental steel or chain link for security?
Ornamental steel is harder to climb and cut and looks better around a home or storefront. Heavy-gauge chain link costs less for long runs around yards and lots, and it can carry barbed wire arms where zoning allows. Many properties use steel out front and chain link at the back.
