Chain-Link Fences
Durable chain-link fences provide cost-effective security solutions for residential and commercial properties. Our installations use galvanized steel with optional polyester coatings for corrosion resistance. We offer various gauges and heights to meet specific security needs while maintaining visibility. Posts are set in 5000psi concrete for long-term stability, ensuring fences withstand normal weather conditions and physical stress without sagging or leaning.
Vinyl Fences
Low-maintenance vinyl fences combine durability with aesthetic appeal. Our reinforced PVC installations resist fading, rotting, and warping, available in privacy, semi-privacy, and picket styles. Customizable colors and profiles allow seamless integration with property aesthetics. The non-porous material prevents mold growth and requires only occasional washing, making it ideal for Atlanta's climate while maintaining structural integrity for decades.
Wood Fences
Custom wood fences offer natural beauty and privacy with long-lasting performance. We use pressure-treated pine, cedar, and redwood with lifetime warranties against rot and termites. Our installation method includes 1/3-depth post burial in high-strength concrete, ensuring stability against wind loads. Available styles include privacy, shadow box, and split-rail designs, with cedar gate frames to prevent warping over time.
Ornamental Fences
Elegant aluminum and steel fences provide modern security solutions with minimal maintenance. Our powder-coated installations resist rust and corrosion, available in decorative patterns for pools, gardens, and property boundaries. Custom gate options include automated systems, with structural steel components meeting industry standards for strength. The finish maintains color vibrancy for decades without peeling or chipping.
Privacy Fences
Specialized privacy fences create secure outdoor spaces with complete visual obstruction. We offer wood, vinyl, and composite options in multiple heights and styles. Our installation process ensures tight board spacing and reinforced posts for wind resistance. Cedar and pressure-treated materials provide natural rot resistance, while vinyl alternatives offer lifetime durability without painting or staining.
