Services
Temporary Chain-Link Fencing
Our temporary chain-link fencing provides secure perimeter solutions for construction sites. Using Schedule 40 posts driven 24" into surfaces, we ensure stability on dirt, asphalt, or concrete. Available in 6' and 8' heights with optional privacy screening, this solution meets OSHA safety standards while accommodating gates up to 30' wide. The heavy-duty construction exceeds industry durability benchmarks.
Permanent Ornamental Fencing
Custom ornamental fencing combines aesthetic appeal with robust security for commercial properties. Available in steel and aluminum configurations, our systems feature multiple design options including louvers and security gates. The welded construction meets ASTM standards for structural integrity while providing long-term corrosion resistance through powder-coated finishes.
Concrete Traffic Barriers
Engineered traffic control solutions include TXDOT-compliant concrete barriers and high-density polyethylene water-filled systems. These crash-tested barriers provide temporary and permanent traffic management with weights ranging from 50 to 680 pounds when filled. Compatible with multiple fencing types for enhanced worksite safety.
Automatic Gate Systems
Advanced access control systems integrate electric operators with security features like keypads and magnetic locks. Available for swing and sliding gate configurations up to 30' wide, these systems meet fire department access requirements through Knox box integration and emergency release mechanisms for code compliance.
Custom Wood Fencing
Premium wood fencing options include cedar, pine, and spruce materials in board-on-board, shadow box, and butt joint styles. Treated cedar provides natural decay resistance while engineered designs balance privacy with wind load management. Available with optional privacy slats for enhanced screening.
