Every fence line and gate we build

A fence is a straight line held across a property, and a gate is the one place in it that's meant to open. Wilson Fence has set both since 1989, from wood and iron to chain link, ranch rail, vinyl and composite, plus the gates and repair work that keep all of it standing.

Wood fence installation

A wood fence is still the line most people picture first: privacy, board on board, picket or garden, cut and set in high quality lumber built to the shape of the property, not a stock panel size.

Wilson Fence stains and paints every wood fence it installs before the crew leaves the job, and recommends re-staining every two to three years to keep the wood protected and looking right.

Wrought iron and ornamental fencing

Iron work is where the crew's certified welders earn the fee: scrollwork, pool enclosures that meet safety standards, and security fencing that still reads as curb appeal instead of a barrier.

Because it's metal, the failure mode is different from wood. Rust treatment and prevention is part of the maintenance list, not an afterthought, on every ornamental run Wilson Fence builds or services.

Chain link fence installation

Chain link goes up fast and stays out of the way. It's the right call for a dog run, a commercial yard, or a stretch where you still want to see through the line, not block it.

It's also the fence Wilson Fence reaches for on sports fields and ballfields, where the fencing has to hold up to daily use without ever getting in the way of the game.

Ranch and field fencing

Field fence and ranch rail exist for one job: hold livestock in and hold up on ground that was never flat to begin with. Wide horizontal rails and posts set to the terrain, not to a blueprint.

Ground shifting and soil erosion are the two things that actually take a field fence out of line over time, which is why the posts get set for the ground that's really there, not the ground on paper.

Chapter 05

Vinyl and composite fencing

Composite fencing carries the strength of wood and the resistance of plastic in the same board, so it holds its shape against rot, fading and warping longer than either material on its own.

Vinyl trades the maintenance for a clean, modern line: it resists fading and cracking and asks for almost nothing from the homeowner once it's set.

Gates and gate automation

Before an operator ever gets fitted to a gate, Wilson Fence's gate specialists look at the weight of the leaf, the condition of the hinges and posts, and whether power actually reaches the entrance.

That's true whether it's a new driveway gate, a sliding or swing gate, or automating a gate you already have. Every gate operator install carries a 1-year labor warranty, and Wilson Fence honors every manufacturer warranty on top of it.

Fence and gate repair

A fence rarely fails all at once. It's weather, wear from daily use, rust and corrosion on the hardware, a leaf that's started to sag, or wood that's finally gone soft with rot or pests. Wilson Fence repairs all of it: posts, panels, latches, hinges, welds and gate operators.

Gates hold up best on a twice a year maintenance visit, and every service call runs a flat $125.00, so there's never a surprise before the crew even looks at the problem.
