Which fence holds up best in the McAllen heat?

Powder-coated steel or aluminum and galvanized chain link handle heat and humidity best with the least upkeep. Wood looks great and gives full privacy, but it needs staining or sealing every few years to last.

How long does a fence install take?

Most backyard fences take one to three days once materials are on site. Concrete around the posts needs time to cure, so gates and heavy panels sometimes go on a day later.

Do I need a permit for a fence in McAllen?

It depends on the fence height, where it sits on your lot and whether it's near a street or easement. Ask your installer, and check with the City of McAllen and your HOA before work starts.

Do you build the fence yourselves?

No. Fence Company McAllen is a referral service. We connect you with independent local fence contractors, who quote and build the fence.

What makes fencing in McAllen different

Sun and heat. McAllen summers are long and hot, and wood fences take the hit. Boards gray, dry out and can twist over a few seasons. Staining or sealing every couple of years keeps wood looking right and lasting longer.
Storm season. Hurricane season runs from June through November, and even a tropical storm passing nearby can push hard on a solid fence. Deeper post holes, concrete footings and the right post spacing are what keep a fence standing.
Humidity and rust. Gulf air means steel and iron fences need a good coating. Powder-coated or galvanized metal holds up far longer than bare steel.
Termites. Wood posts set in the ground are an easy meal for termites in South Texas. Pressure-treated posts or steel posts with wood panels avoid the problem.
Soil that moves. Parts of the Valley have clay soil that swells when wet and shrinks when dry, which can loosen posts over time. Good installers set posts deep enough to ride that out.
HOAs and city rules. Many newer neighborhoods in north McAllen have rules on fence height, color and material. Check your HOA before you pick a style, and ask your installer whether the City of McAllen needs a permit for your project.
