Slat // Mixed // Matched

Custom Fences around Cottondale.

A custom fence starts with an idea, so bring a photo of what you like and we will work from there.

Horizontal-slat wood fences are the modern look, with level boards running across the posts.

Wood paired with black metal posts or a metal frame is a popular mix, so ask us about anything specific.

Decorative tops like lattice or a picket top change the whole feel of a fence.

On a slope, a stepped fence follows the ground in level sections instead of tilting with the hill.

We can match an existing fence, build a porch or deck railing look, or run a curve.

The finish details, like caps, trim, a top rail and gate hardware, are what make a custom fence read finished.

What the job includes

From the first stake to the last latch.

  1. Your photo or sketch

    Show us a photo, a sketch or a fence you like, and tell us what it has to do in the yard.

  2. A clear quote

    You get a quote for the footage, the materials and the extras before a day is set.

  3. Posts on the line

    Posts go in first on a pulled string line, with level steps worked in on sloped ground.

  4. Frame, wood and metal

    Wood is fastened to the frame and posts, and any metal parts go in where the design calls.

  5. The finish details

    Caps, trim, top rails and gate hardware go on last, because they make the fence read finished.

  6. Cleanup and a walk

    Scraps are picked up, and you walk the finished fence with us before we leave.

Know the options

Before you pick a look.

Custom fences go smoothly when we can see what you have in mind.

Level slats look sharp, but they show every crooked post, so the line has to be true.

Wood and metal look great together, and the two materials move and age in different ways.

Show us a photo and we will tell you straight what is simple and what takes more work.
