We can design and install any fence that you would like to see in your home. First thing before you pick a type or style of fencing is to research the material and style you would like to use. For example, when it comes to wood fencing there are many factors that come in due to the characteristics of the material. In 2003, the EPA banned the use of Chromate copper arsenate (ACC), a wood preservative, and replaced it with Alkaline Copper Quaternary (ACQ). Since the change, several problems have been discovered such as rusting of galvanized nails, staples, and tack nails at a rate 10 times greater then before. Additionally, this company has noticed that the thinner the wood, the more warping, splitting, cracking, and cupping occurs.  What does this all mean? Simply put, use the wrong nails or wood and your fence will be a complete loss within three to six years.

We have a wide variety of custom designs to choose from. Again, we urge you to do the research first and whatever your fence wants and needs are we will have a consultation to go over what would be best for you and your home. We have designs to fit your home wether you are looking for just a standard fence design for protection/privacy or if you are looking for something elegant our majestic styles and arbor designs are popular. With the economy at its' current state our pvc and vinyl fencing has been a growing option rather than wood.

When it comes to wood fencing there are a couple things you need to watch for. For example, prefab fencing is a method of building consisting of prefabricated eight foot sections of fence, uses 2" x 3" x 8' runners, 4" x 4" x 8’ line posts, 1/4" x 4" x 6' pickets, and attaches by staples or tack nails. Majority of Orlando Fence Companies use this method because materials are cheaper and the skill set needed is limited.

Also, the type of wood is very important. Pressure treated Southern Pine is the best for our Florida climate. Cypress is also good and availabe but most comes from up north and could be a bit costly. Also, you should avoid wood from other countries. Most home improvement stores purchase there wood from distributors who import.

Avoid prefab at all cost. Just take a drive around your area and look at the prefab fencing replaced since the hurricanes. You will notice pickets pulling away, excessive warping, splitting, cracking and cupping. If someone tells you it's built on site, but the sections are assembled at the shop, it still a prefab.
