Around Hammond that ground is mostly poorly drained silt loam with a high seasonal water table, so post depth and footing matter more here than the material choice alone. Each page covers how that material is built, what it costs to budget and where it fails. Service Fence installation New wood, vinyl, chain link, aluminum and steel fences, laid out to the local rules and built on a post plan for wet ground and storm wind. Service Wood fences Pressure-treated pine, cedar and cypress fences in dog-ear, board-on-board, shadowbox, picket and horizontal styles, on posts set for wet ground. Service Privacy fences Solid and semi-private wood and vinyl fences, 6 to 8 ft behind the house, planned for sightlines, storm wind and wet ground. Service Board-on-board fences Overlapping-board privacy fences and open shadowbox fences that stay closed as the wood dries, on rails and posts sized for the extra boards. Service Wind-resistant fences Privacy and open fences detailed for storm wind: heavier or steel posts, shorter bays, stronger rail connections and corrosion-proof fasteners. Service Horizontal fences Modern horizontal board and slat fences in cedar or treated pine, framed on short spans so they stay straight, with gapped or tight faces. Service Picket fences Front-yard wood picket fences built to Hammond's 4 ft limit and Covington's historic district guidelines, primed, painted or stained, with walk gates. Service Vinyl fences PVC privacy, semi-privacy and picket fences with reinforced bottom rails and gate posts, laid out in panel modules and set for heat, wind and wet soil. Service Chain link fences Galvanized and vinyl-coated chain link for back yards, dogs and property lines, with braced terminal posts, a bottom tension wire and posts spaced to Hammond's code. Service Aluminum fences Powder-coated ornamental aluminum for front yards, pools and pets, racked to follow slopes, with stainless fasteners and gate posts sized for the leaf. Service Wrought iron fences Ornamental steel fences and gates in the wrought iron style, from galvanized prefab panels to custom fabricated work, finished and detailed to keep rust off in a wet climate. Service Pool fences Pool barriers in aluminum, steel, vinyl or wood with self-closing, self-latching gates, planned with the pool permit and built to the barrier rule confirmed for your address. Service Emergency fence repair A fence down across a drive, a pool barrier open or animals able to get out: the line is made safe and the gap closed, then the permanent repair is planned. ## Gates A gate is the part of a fence that moves, so it is where sag and latch trouble start. The hinge post carries the whole leaf as a lever, which is why wide driveway gates get the heaviest posts and deepest footings in the job, and why an opener needs its own power run and safety devices. Service Gates Walk, garden and double gates in wood, vinyl, chain link and metal, sized to what passes through and hung on posts built to carry them. Service Driveway gates Manual single-leaf and double-leaf driveway gates in wood, steel, aluminum and chain link, sized for the vehicles that use them and hung on posts built for the weight. Service Automatic gates Swing and slide gate operators with the power, access controls and entrapment protection a powered gate needs, on a gate built to be automated. ## Farm, horse and acreage fencing Long runs on open land change the work: braced corners and ends carry the wire tension, posts are spaced by the animal and the terrain, and a line through brush has to be cleared first. These pages cover field and woven wire, board and no-climb horse fencing, welded pipe and split rail. Service Farm fences Woven field fence, barbed wire and high-tensile wire for pasture, livestock and acreage, on braced corners and posts set for wet ground. Service Horse fences Board, rail and no-climb mesh fencing for horse pastures, paddocks and turnout pens, with braced corners, smooth faces and gates planned for horses and tractors. Service Pipe fences Welded steel pipe rail, pipe and cable, and pipe with wire infill for ranch entrances, pens, arenas and road frontage, painted and capped against rust. Service Split rail fences Two- and three-rail mortised split rail fences for boundaries, frontage, drives and garden edges, with posts set to resist rot in wet ground. ## Repair, replacement and care Fences tend to fail at the posts, right at the grade line, where wood stays wet longest and the wind load bears hardest. Whether a post, a section or the whole fence is the right fix depends on how many posts have gone and why. Storm damage, gate sag and finishing wood each have their own page. Service Fence repair Wood, vinyl, chain link and metal fences repaired part by part, after finding whether one component failed or the whole line is wearing out. Service Post replacement Single rotted, leaning or snapped posts replaced, old concrete dealt with, and a matched post set in a footing that sheds water at grade. Service Gate repair Sagging, dragging and unlatched gates fixed at the cause: hinge post, hardware, frame, latch alignment or drop rods. Service Storm damage repair Blown-down, leaning and tree-struck fences assessed post by post, documented for a claim, and rebuilt on footings that suit wet ground and wind. Service Fence replacement Old fence and footings out and hauled away, boundary markers protected, and a new fence built to fix what made the old one fail. Service Fence staining Cleaning, staining and sealing wood fences, new or weathered, with the finish and timing matched to Hammond's sun, heat and rain. ## Commercial fencing Commercial jobs add their own rules. In Hammond a commercial fence permit is $50, open wire fences may reach 10 ft in commercial and industrial districts, and the city can require a 6 to 8 ft solid buffer fence where a business backs onto homes. Service Commercial fences Security chain link, ornamental steel and aluminum, and solid buffer screens for businesses and institutions, with vehicle gates and Hammond's commercial fence rules built in. ## Before you choose a service Two tools help sort the job before anyone visits.
