Options and Materials
Fence installation encompasses many material and style choices. We work with:
Material choice depends on your priorities: appearance, durability, maintenance requirements, and budget. We explain trade-offs so you can decide with confidence.
The FenceBee Process
Our installation process ensures reliable results:
- 1
Initial Consultation
We visit your property, discuss what you want the fence to accomplish, measure the area, and review options. You receive straightforward answers to all questions.
- 2
Written Estimate
A detailed quote breaks down materials, labor, and total cost. No vague pricing or surprise add-ons.
- 3
Design Confirmation
We confirm fence style, height, material, gate locations, and any special requirements before scheduling.
- 4
Pre-Installation
Utilities are marked. You clear movable items from the fence line. We confirm timing and access.
- 5
Foundation Work
Post holes are dug to proper depth. Posts are set plumb in concrete. This foundation determines fence longevity.
- 6
Fence Construction
Rails and infill materials are attached with precision. Gates are built and hung. Hardware is installed.
- 7
Completion
We clean the site, walk the fence with you, and confirm satisfaction before finishing.
Timelines and Scheduling
Installation timeline depends on fence type and length. Simple chain link projects may complete in a day. Privacy fences typically take 1-3 days. Larger or more complex installations extend accordingly.
Scheduling usually places installation 1-3 weeks after estimate approval. Busy seasons fill faster; booking ahead helps secure desired dates.
Weather impacts outdoor work. We avoid conditions that compromise quality, like setting posts in saturated ground or pouring concrete in extreme cold. Any weather delays are communicated promptly.
Pricing Factors
Fence installation costs depend on project specifics:
- Fence type: wood, metal, chain link, vinyl each have different cost structures
- Material grade within type: cedar vs. pine, premium vs. standard
- Linear feet: more fencing means more materials and labor
- Fence height: taller fences require more material and deeper posts
- Number and style of gates
- Terrain: slopes, obstacles, and access difficulty affect installation time
- Soil conditions: rocky or clay soil can increase excavation effort
We provide accurate quotes after site evaluation. Phone estimates cannot account for factors that on-site assessment reveals.
Tulsa-Specific Considerations
Tulsa installations must address local realities. Oklahoma weather includes hot summers, spring storms, and occasional ice. Material selection and installation methods account for these conditions.
Post depth matters here. Clay soil expands and contracts with moisture, stressing inadequately set posts. We set posts deeper than minimum requirements to ensure stability despite soil movement.
Wind resistance is engineered into our installations. Solid fences catch Oklahoma gusts; proper construction prevents damage during storms. We have seen what fails and know how to build what lasts.
Local permits and codes apply to fence installation. Height restrictions, setbacks, and neighborhood covenants may affect your project. We identify applicable requirements during consultation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit for fence installation in Tulsa?
Permit requirements vary by municipality and fence height. Most cities require permits for fences over a certain height. We clarify applicable rules during consultation.
How deep should fence posts go?
Generally, one-third of total post length goes underground. For a 6-foot fence with 8-foot posts, that means about 2.5 feet deep. We adjust for soil type and fence style.
What is the best fence material for Oklahoma weather?
Cedar performs well due to natural rot resistance. Properly installed treated pine also holds up. Metal and vinyl require minimal maintenance. The best choice depends on your priorities.
Should I stain my new wood fence immediately?
We recommend letting wood weather for several weeks before staining. This allows moisture to dry and the surface to accept stain better. We can schedule staining as a follow-up service.
How do I prepare for installation day?
Clear the fence line of movable items, furniture, and plants. Ensure we have access to the work area with vehicles and equipment. Secure pets away from the work zone.
