Fence FAQs – Houston Homeowners & Pet Owners

Houston weather is rough—the humidity, the windstorms, the blazing sun. Here’s how to choose the right fence for your home, family, or business.

What Fence Lasts Longest in Houston?

That’s the million-dollar question that most homeowners want answered. While we would love to say there is one right answer, the answer really depends on your needs.

  • Cedar: Naturally rot-resistant; holds up well with sealing (and avoids that lovely grey that the weather changes it to)
  • Pine: Low maintenance, and pressure treated to last.
  • Ornamental Iron: Timeless look, built to last decades.

Also, we offer products that carry a 20-year warranty against paint chipping and peeling.
We’ll guide you based on your yard’s drainage, sunlight, and use.


What’s Best for Pets?
  • 6-ft wooden fences = great for privacy + jumping dogs
  • Chain link = secure + allows visibility (some pets love it)
  • Ornamental Iron: timeless look + allows visibility (some pets love it)
Will My Fence Withstand the Houston Weather?

Yes—if it is installed correctly (and an act of God doesn’t take it out). We:

  • Set posts 24–36″ deep in concrete
  • Use treated lumber & rust-resistant fasteners
  • Offer repair options for storm damage
