Ways we can fence your site

Posts are driven directly into sand, soil or asphalt and the panels are fastened to them. Nothing sits loose on the surface, so there is no base plate to kick, trip over or shift when a loader passes close to the line.

This is what we install when a perimeter has to stand through a Southern Utah spring, or hold for a year or more. It is also the only method we will recommend for a site that catches sustained wind.

Post-pounding needs ground that will take a post. We cannot drive into concrete — a slab means panels on stands instead, and we will tell you that at the walkthrough rather than on install day.

Panels interlock and sit on stands, weighted with sandbags. Nothing goes into the ground, which makes this the method for finished pavement, concrete, landscaping, or anywhere underground utilities rule out driving a post.

Because there is nothing to pull, a stand-mounted run can be reconfigured in an afternoon. That matters on a site whose footprint changes every few weeks, and at events where the perimeter only has to exist for a weekend.

The trade-off is wind. Stands and sandbags are stable, but a free-standing panel is always more exposed than a driven one, and on a site that really blows we will push you toward post-pounding.

Screen laced onto chain link does two jobs at once: it stops the public looking into your site, and it keeps your dust and debris from leaving it. On work next to housing or a busy road, that is often the difference between a quiet job and a stream of complaints.

Be aware of what you are buying. A screen turns an open fence into a solid surface, and a solid surface catches wind. In exposed parts of Southern Utah that load is enough to lay down a fence that would otherwise have stood all year.

We will install screen wherever you want it. On a high-wind site we will first tell you honestly that we do not recommend it, and what it would take — post-pounding, closer post spacing — to do it anyway.

A perimeter is only as good as how people get through it. Gates let crews, pickups and delivery trucks in and out without anyone unlacing a panel — which is how gaps appear in a fence line and then never get closed.

We build swing gates and slide gates, sized to the widest vehicle that needs the opening. Tell us what is coming to site and where it enters, and we will place and size the gate at the walkthrough.

When panels come off rental duty we sometimes sell them, and they are a genuinely good buy for a dog run, a garden enclosure, a small owner-built project or temporary security at a house.

Setting expectations plainly: these are well used. They are bent, scuffed and faded, and we are not going to pretend otherwise. They are still 6-by-12 galvanized steel and they still hold. If pretty matters, buy new somewhere else.

Availability comes and goes with the rental fleet. Call and ask what is on the ground.
