Fence installation in Beaumont

A new fence is mostly about the posts. In Beaumont's wet clay and Gulf Coast storms, how deep they go and what they're set in decides whether the fence stands straight for twenty years or leans in five.

Planning a new fence

Start with what the fence is for. Privacy for a backyard, keeping dogs in, a code-compliant pool barrier and a front-yard accent all point to different heights and materials. Then check three things before anyone digs:

  • Your property line. A survey or the plat from your closing papers shows where it is. Fences built on the wrong side of the line are a common source of neighbor disputes.
  • HOA and city rules. Many subdivisions limit height, material and color, and some cities limit front-yard fences. In the City of Beaumont, residential fences up to 6 feet tall don't need a building permit.
  • Buried utilities. Texas law requires a call to Texas 811 at least two business days before digging post holes. It's free, and the fence company usually makes the call.

Choosing a material

Wood privacy fences are the most common choice around Beaumont because they're affordable and block the view. Chain link is the cheapest way to fence a large area. Vinyl costs more up front but won't rot. Aluminum and iron work well for pools and front yards. See each one below, or ask the company to price two options side by side.

What a good install looks like

Posts should go about a third of their above-ground height into the ground, set in concrete, with the top of the concrete sloped so water runs off. Many installers in Southeast Texas use galvanized steel posts behind wood pickets because steel doesn't rot in wet soil. Ask how deep the holes will be, what the posts are made of and whether cleanup and haul-off are in the price.

How long it takes

A typical backyard fence takes one to three days once the job starts. Concrete needs time to set before panels or pickets go on, and wet weather can push the start date.

See typical prices in the fence cost guide.

Common questions

How long does it take to install a fence?

Most backyard fences take one to three days once work starts. Rain, ground conditions and how busy companies are after storms can move the start date.

Do I need to be home while the fence is installed?

Usually not the whole time, but someone should walk the line with the crew at the start to confirm where the fence and gates go, and pets need to be kept inside.

Will the company call 811 for me?

Most fence companies call Texas 811 to have buried utilities marked before they dig. Ask to make sure, because Texas law requires the call at least two business days before digging.
