We built a new 250 linear foot cedar fence in McKinney, TX this week. The fence needed replacement due to wind and hail damage. The fence was overgrown with vines and vegetation. We cut and cleared the foliage away and demolished the fence and timber fence posts. We then hauled all of the old fence debris away and disposed of it. The new steel posts were then set in 3 feet of 4,000psi concrete. We braced the posts and allowed them to cure for 48 hours and then mounted the 2”x4” runners and the 2”x6” mud board on the bottom of the fence. The new pickets were then hung side by side and run to a plumb line to keep them straight. The fence line undulates with the terrain which drops almost 40 feet from the front of the property to the back of the property line. Our challenge was to follow the terrain closely and yet to keep the fence top line straight, neat and clean. We worked daily with the adjoining neighbors to organize the logistics of the project and to make sure that a caution security fence was in place at the end of each day. Our client has a pool along with 2 of their 5 adjoining neighbors that share the fence. It was very important to all involved that the jobsite be left secured and safe at the end of each day. Upon completion our client along with their neighbors were left with a brand new fence that was constructed with top notch craftsmanship and a project that was managed with the utmost attention to communication and detail. We assisted our client in the processing of their insurance paperwork and made sure the project site perimeter was left clean.
