Custom Fence Installation in Dallas-Fort Worth
Star Gate & Fence builds custom privacy and security fences across the DFW Metroplex. We install premium western red cedar, powder-coated wrought iron, and heavy commercial chain link perimeters. Our direct employees manage every phase of your fence build entirely in-house. We absolutely never use outside subcontractors. One single licensed contractor manages your deep concrete footings, structural framing, and final municipal permit inspections.
Complete Fencing Services Under One Unified Contract
We manage your structural fence installation and necessary custom hardscaping directly without outside trades.
A lasting fence requires perfect coordination between heavy concrete footings and the surrounding landscape grade. We synthesize these distinct phases into one clean, manageable project. If you need an HOA-approved cedar privacy fence in Frisco, we build it. If you require a high-security chain link perimeter in Grand Prairie, we stretch the heavy fabric. Our direct employees pour the massive concrete footings required to keep your fence perfectly straight.
Custom Wood Fences and Privacy Profiles
We build western red cedar fences specifically engineered to survive intense Dallas summer heat.
Western red cedar heavily outperforms pine against sustained Texas heat and UV load. We install custom board-on-board designs for absolute privacy. Because solid panels capture massive wind loads, we engineer the posts to resist extreme spring storms. We also build shadowbox profiles that allow high winds to pass through safely. We use ground-contact pressure-treated pine strictly for the underground support posts. This prevents thermal warping above ground while preventing rot below the grass.
Wrought Iron and Ornamental Metal Fences
We fabricate heavy structural iron panels to fit your exact masonry column openings perfectly.
Standard catalog panels leave awkward gaps when installed on sloped Dallas driveways. We fabricate custom iron sections in-house to match your specific property grade. We grind all welded joints smooth and apply a premium, heat-cured powder coating. This heavy finish survives brutal Texas UV exposure and humidity far better than liquid paint. We strictly adhere to ASTM F2200 physical safety geometry to eliminate reach-through entrapment hazards.
Commercial Chain Link Installation
We specify chain link wire gauge based directly on your exact property security requirements.
We stretch heavy 9-gauge fabric for high-security industrial perimeters along major DFW logistics corridors. For standard residential backyards, we install durable 11.5-gauge galvanized or vinyl-coated systems. We set massive terminal posts in deep concrete to resist continuous commercial tension loads. We execute every build to prevent the heavy wire fabric from stretching or sagging over time.
HOA-Approved Vinyl and PVC Fencing
We install virgin PVC panels to survive the intense thermal expansion of Dallas summers.
Cheaper recycled vinyl turns brittle and cracks under massive Texas UV exposure. We strictly install premium virgin PVC that holds its shape and heavily resists yellowing. We route the rail inserts perfectly to allow the panels to expand safely during 100-degree heat. We manage the specific white or tan color requirements dictated by strict HOA architectural committees.
Code-Compliant Pool Safety Fences
We build pool barriers matching exact Texas state safety measurements to pass municipal inspections.
We engineer barriers strictly adhering to Texas Administrative Code Title 25, §265.191. The state strictly mandates a minimum 48-inch height measured from the exterior finished grade. We install self-latching hardware safely on the pool side. We also verify the gate swings outward away from the water to prevent accidental entry.
Fence Demolition and Heavy Site Preparation
We completely remove your old fence and extract the buried concrete footings safely.
Most DFW fence projects require tearing down a severely compromised existing structure. Our direct employees handle this heavy demolition phase entirely. We pull the rotted posts, break out the old concrete, and haul away the debris. We never leave old concrete buried in your yard to block future landscaping. We clear the fence line completely before drilling the new structural post holes.
Engineered for North Texas Clay Soil
Our structural installations actively combat violently expanding clay soil and heavy spring wind loads.
The DFW Metroplex sits directly on highly expansive black clay soil. This earth swells violently during spring rains and shrinks rapidly in the August heat. This cycle creates deep soil shrinkage gaps around your posts. A fence post set in shallow concrete will quickly lean under these aggressive geological cycles. Our direct employees pour massive concrete footings utilizing the strict one-third depth rule. A standard six-foot fence receives a minimum three-foot concrete footer to prevent structural sagging completely.
Managing Local DFW Municipal Fence Permitting
We handle strict city building codes and complex zoning height variances for you directly.
Building a fence in North Texas requires managing layered, highly localized municipal building codes. Dallas ordinance Sec. 51A-4.602 strictly limits solid front yard fences to exactly four feet. Fort Worth municipal codes require a strict fifty-percent open design for residential front yards. We also calculate regional visibility triangles at all street and alley intersections. We keep fences under 2.5 feet near these intersections to preserve driver line-of-sight. We operate as your licensed contractor to pull these specific permits.
Strict HOA Architectural Approval Management
We prepare the exact material documentation your strict HOA Architectural Review Committee actively demands.
Master-planned communities across Plano, Allen, and Prosper demand meticulous compliance with specific material restrictions. We read your specific Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions before specifying any lumber. We provide your material specs, height diagrams, color stain samples, and our active contractor credentials. We never start digging until your HOA signs off completely. This prevents expensive municipal fines and forced tear-downs.
Financing and Structural Workmanship Warranties
We back our custom fence installation work with straightforward, honest structural workmanship warranties.
Because we control the entire process without subcontractors, we fully control the final build quality. We offer flexible financing options to help you manage high-ticket outdoor construction projects comfortably. If a structural settling problem or severe post leaning occurs later, you call us directly. We dispatch our own team to make it right immediately.
The Star Gate Step-by-Step Installation Process
Our direct employees execute a highly structured sequence to protect your outdoor landscape.
We start by assessing your physical property grade and mapping the natural drainage paths. We verify your lot lines and call 811 to locate underground utilities securely. Next, our in-house crew digs deep post holes and pours the heavy concrete footers. We allow this concrete to cure fully before attaching the heavy horizontal rails. Finally, we walk the finished fence line with you to verify strict structural alignment.

Star Gate & Fence operates without geographic restrictions inside the DFW area. We serve commercial facilities, HOA communities, and residential homeowners across all 13 counties.

Frequently Asked Questions About DFW Fences
Find direct answers regarding local fence construction, municipal permits, and structural engineering requirements.
Do you use subcontractors to build custom fences?
Every fence project is executed exclusively by direct Star Gate & Fence technical employees.
We absolutely never hire outside subcontractors. Our trained, in-house team handles the post digging, concrete pouring, and final wood assembly directly.
How deep do you dig your fence posts?
We strictly follow the one-third depth rule for all our structural concrete footings.
A six-foot privacy fence requires a minimum three-foot concrete footing. This massive depth actively combats the shifting North Texas clay soil and prevents your fence from leaning.
Do I need a permit for my new Dallas fence?
Most Dallas-Fort Worth municipalities require specific building permits for fences exceeding six feet tall.
Dallas heavily restricts front yard fence heights and solid materials under ordinance Sec. 51A-4.602. We operate as your licensed contractor of record to pull these municipal permits directly.
Why did my fence post snap at the ground line?
Expansive clay soil traps moisture against the wood, drastically accelerating rot below the grass.
The wood rots slowly underground while looking fine higher up. High spring winds then easily snap the weakened post directly at the wet soil line.
