Custom Fence Company in Abilene, TX (Who Actually Call You Back)

Why a Custom Fence Needs a Plan First

A custom fence has no standard parts to fall back on, so every choice has to fit the others. Heavy rails or a wide gate on a thin footing pull the fence out of line in clay ground.

We size each footing to its load and plan the gates and posts together.

Why Choose a Custom Fence

A fence built around your reason

Get a fence that does the one job you care about most. A dog run needs different parts than a garden or a horse pen, so we start with the job and every part earns its place.

Materials that match the problem

Wood, steel, wire and mesh each solve a different problem. You can mix them in one line, like solid boards by the patio and open metal along the pasture. The fence then looks planned, not patched.

A layout that fits your land

Slopes, trees, drainage paths and odd corners stop a standard fence. A custom layout works around them. Posts and rails follow the ground, and the gates sit where you actually walk.

One crew from plan to last gate

You talk to the same people from the first walk to the final latch. At Everock Fencing we line up every change of material, so the fence reads as one fence.

Services That Go With a Custom Fence

Built for Abilene Ground

Ground decides how a custom fence stands. USDA describes the Abilene soil series as a clay loam, with 35 to 50 percent clay, that water moves through slowly. Clay holds moisture around a footing, so a heavy rail, a tall mesh panel or a wide gate needs a wide, deep base.

We size each footing to the load it carries. Gate posts and corner posts go deeper than line posts, and every post sits in concrete until it cures. That holds for a lot in town, a place in Tye or Merkel and a few acres near Buffalo Gap.

What Happens After You Get In Touch

Three steps, in this order. Nothing is hidden, and nothing starts until you approve the plan.

1. You get in touch. Send the short form or call. We can call you back and ask a few questions first, so we know what you have in mind and where. Estimates are always free.
2. We visit and quote in person. We walk your property with you, measure each run and mark the gate spots. We talk through your plan and the options, and you see the itemized quote on site.
3. We build, you approve. We request the Texas811 locate and set the posts in concrete. Then we build to the plan you approved, hang the gates and tidy the work area when we finish.

What the Job Covers From Start to Finish

Plan with you. We walk the site and build the plan around your goal.

Rules and lines. We check the plan against Abilene’s height and setback rules and request the Texas811 locate. That call does not mark private lines such as sprinklers, so you point those out on the visit.

Posts and bracing. Posts go in concrete and are braced where the load changes.

Materials. Materials are picked for the job, the ground and your budget.

Build and gates. We build to the plan you approved and hang the gates.

Fences Built Around a Need

Some jobs do not fit a standard style. These are the needs we hear most, and each one shapes the fence differently.

Dog runs and pet yards. The height, the mesh and the base follow the dog and the yard. A small dog and a jumper need different fences.

Gardens and orchards. An open fence keeps animals out of your beds and rows. We pick the height and the mesh size by what you are keeping out.

Pens and paddocks. Rails and posts are sized for the animal, and the inside faces stay smooth where animals rub.

Pool and patio enclosures. Pool fences carry their own code rules. We confirm them with the city before we build, so your layout meets them.

Mixed-material lines. Wood, steel and wire can share one run. A privacy section by the house can step down into open fence along the yard.

Slopes and odd corners. The fence steps or follows the grade, so gaps do not open under the rails.

Your need is not on the list? Tell us what the fence has to do. We work out the rest on site.

Parts Chosen for the Job

A custom fence is a set of parts chosen for one job. At Everock Fencing we match each part to what it has to carry.

Good to Know Before You Design

Abilene lets a fence step up toward your house. The city allows the height to taper from the limit at the front property line up to 7 feet at the building line. A solid fence can start at 2½ feet at the front line and an open one at 4 feet. You can keep the street side open and still get full height where it counts. Plan the steps once and the posts only go in once.

Abilene Rules That Shape a Custom Fence

Planning & Development Services handles fence placement in Abilene, and Code Compliance handles fence condition. Custom does not skip the rules, so we plan to them from the first walk.

A clean setback. The city asks for fences at least 10 feet from the curb or the edge of the pavement, on private property and outside the public right-of-way.

Full height on the sides and back. Fences can reach 7 feet along your side and rear property lines.

Wire materials. Barbed wire belongs on agricultural land in Abilene. We confirm your zoning before we plan any wire.

Pools. A pool fence follows its own code. We check it with the city before we draw the layout.

Lines marked before the first hole. A call to Texas811 gets public utility lines marked at no charge. It goes in at least two working days before the first hole.

Your lot decides the rules. Your town or county sets the rules, so the plan starts with where your property sits.

Keeping a Custom Fence in Shape

A mixed fence has more than one material, and each one has its own routine. Five habits cover them all.

Walk the line each season. Look at the gates, the joints between materials and any post that moves.

Care for each material its own way. Restain wood when water soaks in. Touch up paint on steel where a scratch shows bare metal.

Keep the base clear. Weeds, soil and mulch hold moisture against posts and the lowest rail.

Check the hardware. Hinges and latches are the first parts to loosen. A little oil and a turn of a screw keeps a gate swinging true.

Fix small damage early. One section is easy to repair. A section left alone grows into several.

Custom Fence Installation in Abilene and the Towns Around It

You get the same visit whether your lot is in Abilene or out toward Tye, Merkel, Buffalo Gap, Hawley or Clyde. Tell us where the lot sits, and we start with the rules for that address.

What Shapes the Price of a Custom Fence

Length and materials set most of the price. A mix of materials takes more planning than a single one, and tall or heavy parts need more concrete. The site decides the rest: slope, trees, hard digging, the number and width of gates and whether an old fence has to come out first.

Estimates are always free. Quoting in person is the preferred way, because the measurements, the ground and the gate openings are all visible on site.

The conversation is free. Have ready a short note on what the fence must do, where the line runs and where you want gates.

Custom Against Standard Fences

Pick a custom build when your need does not match a standard style. Pick standard wood for privacy or chain link for a plain open boundary.

You Go First After the Build

You approve the plan, the materials and the gate spots before the first post goes in. After that, the work is ours to get right.

After we build your fence, any fix goes to the front of the schedule. You’re booked first. If the problem is the installation, we fix it.
