DIY Fence Estimate
If you’d like to get a rough idea on your own about how much fencing you will need, follow these easy steps:
- If you know the dimensions of the area you wish to enclose, add the length of each side together. Use a tape measure. Rough estimates are fine; there is no need to be too precise.
- Be sure to subtract the length of any structures, like a house, a barn, or a shed, that will serve as part of the barrier. This will give you a rough estimate of how much fencing you need.
- For even greater accuracy, subtract the length of any gates you will be using. Often, gates are priced much differently than fencing. For this reason, we recommend that property owners looking to develop their fence estimate list the gates separately. A standard walk gate is approximately 4 feet wide, and a standard single driveway gate is closer to 10 feet wide.
Caution!
Fencing is often priced and sold by SECTIONS, not by linear feet! Even when the linear footage is included specifically in price estimates, the total number of sections is a factor in this pricing. So, price per linear foot is only a rough estimate and rarely represents the actual cost of the finished fence!
If you would love to explore and explain this difference, you can speak with one of our fence experts . Be aware that price per linear foot is a ploy many unprofessional fence installers in the San Antonio Texas area use!

Agricultural Fence FAQs
Traditionally, farm fencing is wooden post and rail fencing, split rail fences, or high tensile fences. Welded wire can be added to post and rail fences for specific small animal yards. There are variations of each type based on what you need to enclose. For example, if you have horses, you can border your land with split rail, but if you have smaller animals like chickens or pigs, you’ll need something closer to the ground and with less open space. Our team of fence experts is happy to discuss your specific needs and find the perfect solution for your San Antonio Texas property.
Farm fencing works very well when it comes to following the changing levels of ground across many fields. Wood fencing particularly is always one of the most adjustable types of fencing and can be modified to your specifications.

Our crews are specially trained in the latest aluminum fence installation techniques, ensuring that your fence will look great, function properly, and hold up to the harsh weather typical of San Antonio Texas.
Aluminum fencing is a popular option for homes and businesses in the San Antonio Texas region. Aluminum fences are strong yet lightweight; with their durable protective coating, aluminum fences easily stand up to the harsh weather conditions of San Antonio Texas.
Other fence materials are less expensive initially, but aluminum fencing requires nearly zero maintenance. Over time, aluminum fencing is a less expensive fencing material, saving time and money when compared to many other alternatives because aluminum fences do not need to be painted or sealed.
If a maintenance-free elegant fence is what you want, look no further than aluminum fencing.
Aluminum fences are very durable! Don’t let the light weight fool you. Aluminum is a very strong material used in airplanes, cars, and many other items that are designed to protect you. Aluminum fencing is more than strong enough and durable enough to protect your home or business while standing strong in the face of the San Antonio Texas weather. Typical physical abuse from falling limbs, landscapers, kids, animals, neighbors, and more is usually no problem for our professional-quality aluminum fencing.
It should be mentioned, however, that some discount fencing contractors in San Antonio Texas are known to undercut prices by using lower-quality aluminum fencing, which absolutely does not hold up well. Be careful. You get what you pay for!
Prices on aluminum fences are highly dependent on the amount of fencing you need as well as the exact style, height, and options you select.
We provide aluminum fencing quotes for free! E-mail us or give us a call and our team of friendly, experienced staff will be glad to walk you through the process and plan a consultation.

Shopping for the cheapest fence is generally not the best way to choose the fence you want to protect and beautify your home and the people you care about.
Many small fence companies in San Antonio Texas install aluminum fencing. Very few specifically train their teams on the best installation techniques and practices for aluminum fencing. Unfortunately, this means that your aluminum fence is probably not installed as securely as it could be, which ultimately can reduce the quality and lifespan of your aluminum fence.
Using inferior installation techniques and improper tools can also damage the aluminum fence during installation, which may have the unfortunate impact of voiding the manufacturer’s warranty since you chose an unqualified contractor not approved by the manufacturer.
Here are some of the main pitfalls of working with non-professionals:
The Aluminum Fence Warranty is Void
If the individual or company that installed your aluminum fence is no longer in business, the workmanship warranty on the fence and the gates is worthless. Additionally, some manufacturers won’t warranty their fence material if it was improperly installed or damaged during installation. Both situations are common with non-professionals.The Fence Almost Certainly Won’t Last As Long
As a professional fence company, our team of installers undergoes rigorous training and constant professional supervision. Our dedication to improving our skills, knowledge of the best fencing materials, and best aluminum fence installation techniques maximizes the strength and life of your fence. Companies that install aluminum fences as something they do “on the side” usually have no idea how much they don’t know about aluminum fencing or what is best for you and your property.Your Property May be at Risk
Installing aluminum fences in the San Antonio Texas area can be risky. Sudden, harsh weather during the fence installation can blow materials and damage your home. We’ve seen concrete splatter onto cars or drip down beautiful driveways or walkways as buckets of wet concrete are transported. Deep tire tracks sinking into your grass is another common issue. The secondary damage to homes and yards is common when untrained labor installs the fence.Additionally, you are at risk if anyone gets hurt on your property while they are working. If you hire an unlicensed or uninsured contractor, you may be liable and your homeowner’s insurance may deny payment!
At first glance, hiring a novice to install your aluminum fence may save you a few dollars, but in the long run, it is almost certainly a price you cannot afford to pay!

Gate FAQs
We sure can! The pros at Fence Pros of Texas can walk you through the design and selection process so that we can install the proper gates to accommodate your needs.
Here are some typical gate options you will need to consider for a new fence installation:
Single/Standard Gates: This single-door gate is usually the same height as the rest of the fence and has one swinging door, which is typically only big enough for one person to walk through. This gate should be reinforced to keep it from sagging and warping, and the latch system should be strategically placed.
Double Gates: While many people opt for a standard gate to allow guests to walk through, they often have a need to opt for an additional double gate to allow easy entry for larger items, such as lawn maintenance equipment or recreational vehicles.
Drive Gates: Residential driveway gates add a stunning entry to the property and can be installed with automatic openers. Commercial properties often require secure access entry, and the extra security will protect your employees and assets.
Pool Gates: Although gates and fences can be decorative, their main purpose is to provide security and keep your family safe. When considering a gate for your pool area, keep in mind that many municipalities already have regulations in place, and the experts at Fence Pros of Texas will ensure that your pool gate will meet those requirements.
We can use any material that we carry, including wood, wrought iron, aluminum, vinyl and chain link, to create your fence gate to your specifications.

After you reach out to our team, one of our members will contact you and schedule a time for an estimate.

Commercial Gate FAQs
When choosing a commercial fence, several factors come into play, such as the intended purpose of the fence (security, privacy, aesthetics), the level of required durability, maintenance needs, local zoning regulations, and budget constraints. It’s essential to weigh these considerations carefully to ensure that the selected fence meets the specific needs of the business property. The team at Fence Pros of Texas can help you in determining the best gate to meet your particular requirements and budget.
Commercial fencing plays a crucial role in enhancing security for business properties by creating a physical barrier that deters trespassers, vandals, and unauthorized personnel. The height, material, and design of the fence can be customized to meet the security needs of the property, while additional security features like barbed wire or electronic access controls can further fortify the perimeter.
Commercial fences can be customized in various ways to suit the unique aesthetics and branding of a business property. Design options include different styles (e.g., ornamental, chain-link, privacy), colors, decorative elements, post caps, access control features, and gate configurations. By tailoring the design of the fence to match the overall look of the property, businesses can create a cohesive and welcoming environment for employees, customers, and visitors.
Regular maintenance is key to extending the lifespan of commercial fences and preserving their appearance and functionality over time. Routine tasks such as cleaning, inspections for damage or wear, repainting or staining as needed, lubricating hinges and latches, and addressing any repairs promptly can prevent premature deterioration and ensure that the fence remains in optimal condition for years to come.
Staining & Sealing FAQs
Your wood fence should be protected with a high-quality stain and sealer, but the decision is ultimately yours to make. Proper care and maintenance of your wood fence will absolutely extend the life of your fence for many years to come! The harsh weather conditions in the San Antonio area can severely impact wood fences that are not properly cared for. Speak to one of our wood fence experts to learn more about the specific steps you can take for your particular situation.
Fence Pros of Texas proudly offers Wood Defender brand oil-based stain and seal products known for their exceptional quality and performance. Wood Defender products are specially formulated to protect and enhance the natural beauty of wood, including fences, decks, and other outdoor structures.
With a range of rich, UV-resistant colors to choose from, our Wood Defender stain and seal products provide long-lasting protection against the elements, such as fading, mold, and mildew. The oil-based formula penetrates deep into the wood, creating a durable barrier that seals out moisture and preserves the integrity of the wood for years to come.
If your fence has recently been built, you might need to wait a period of time before staining it. Although there are different opinions about when a fence should be stained, there is a general rule of thumb. If the wood has a moisture level below 13%, the fence can be stained. However, delays might occur in the event of rain, so it is best to stain when there are a few clear weather days in a row.
In general, there are no temperature or sunlight restrictions on our oil-based penetrating stains. However, the wood must be dry, with a moisture level under 13% therefore, it would be important to choose a day with low humidity. As a result, in most parts of the country, it is generally safe to stain year-round.
In general, you want your contractor to be able to access the wooden structure with ease. Trimming back large landscaping, such as shrubs and smaller trees from fence or deck lines will help your contractor be able to get to all parts of your fence or deck. Try to remove all furniture from decks, along with ornamental items or decor, such as hanging or potted plants, patio lighting (if it is against the fence or in the way of a deck structure), and outdoor rugs. Mowing the grass around the base of all structures is beneficial, along with weed-eating along fence lines. Also, we require that you turn off any scheduled sprinkler use.
Maintaining your outdoor space is just as important as maintaining your indoor space! Several times a year, it is best to clean stained fences with a broom or leaf blower to keep dirt particles and debris off the wood. A soft wash with gentle cleaning chemicals is recommended once a year to “sanitize” your wooden structures and to kill any organic growth that your fence might accumulate.
Other than general cleaning, it is best to apply a maintenance coat of stain to your fence every three years to keep it looking great and to keep the wood protected. This maintenance suggestion also depends on the color of stain you have chosen for your structure. Maintenance could be needed sooner for lightly pigmented colors or natural tones, while more heavily pigmented and darker stains tend to last longer between applications.
