Why Your North Dallas Fence Is Probably Going to Fail (And How to Build One That Won’t)

Walk through any neighborhood after a storm and you’ll see it: fences leaning at sad angles, posts rotting at the base, boards warping and splitting. Here’s the uncomfortable truth—most fences aren’t built to last because contractors cut corners you’ll never see until it’s too late.

At Top Rail Fence North Dallas, we got tired of watching homeowners waste money replacing fences that should have lasted decades.

The Hidden Problem With “Standard” Fence Installation

The failure point isn’t the boards—it’s what’s underneath. Most contractors use posts that barely pass inspection and dig holes that are too shallow. We’ve built our entire approach around fixing these invisible problems.

Post Depth and Gauge Thickness: The Make-or-Break Factor

Your fence is only as strong as what’s buried underground. While other contractors use posts that are “thick enough,” we use posts engineered to handle the worst weather your property will ever see.

The PostMaster System: Beauty Meets Brute Strength

Our board-on-board installations feature PostMaster systems that conceal steel posts behind beautiful wood facades. You get structural strength of steel with natural aesthetics of wood. Custom caps, trim, and corbel details transform your fence into an architectural element that complements your home.

Western Red Cedar Done Right

Our Western Red Cedar installations come pre-stained in rich finishes like coffee brown and Oxford brown. These premium treatments ensure consistent color from day one while providing superior weather protection that extends your fence’s life by years.

Smart Features That Solve Real Problems

For Pet Owners: Ornamental metal fencing with puppy panels keeps small pets safely contained without compromising elegant looks.

For Agricultural Properties: Pipe fence installations with non-climb wire provide superior livestock containment while withstanding extreme weather that challenges traditional materials.

When Replacement Isn’t the Answer

Sometimes you don’t need a new fence—you need professional restoration. Our washing and staining processes transform existing fences, extending wood lifespan while dramatically improving appearance. We’ve completed restoration projects covering over 5,500 square feet, proving comprehensive restoration can be more cost-effective than complete replacement.
