Aluminum and Steel Fencing Built for Allen Properties
If you live or do business in Allen, TX, you already know how fast the weather can swing from blazing sun to pounding rain and the occasional hailstorm. Aluminum and steel fences handle that better than most materials, which is why so many homeowners and commercial property owners in Allen call Legendary Fence Company Allen for metal fence installation.
Aluminum fencing works well when you want a low maintenance, clean look that will not rust in our humid summers. It is ideal around pools, front yards, and along property lines where you want visibility instead of a solid screen. Steel fencing is stronger and heavier, so it is a good fit for security perimeters, driveways, and areas where kids, pets, or equipment may put more physical pressure on the fence.
We work with residential neighborhoods like Twin Creeks, Montgomery Farm, and communities off Stacy Road, as well as small businesses and light commercial sites near US-75. Our crews are familiar with local HOA rules and City of Allen permitting, so we can guide you on what fence heights, styles, and locations are likely to be approved before you spend money on a design that will not pass review.
How Our Aluminum and Steel Fence Installation Process Works
Legendary Fence Company Allen uses a step-by-step process so you know what is happening from the first visit to the final walk through.
First, we meet you on site to walk the property line, locate sprinklers and utilities, and talk through what you want the fence to do. That might be keeping kids and pets in, securing a side yard gate, defining a commercial lot, or meeting pool safety rules. We measure carefully, note slopes and tree roots, and discuss access points like walk gates and drive gates.
Next, we help you choose materials. For aluminum fence, we look at rail style (flat top, pressed spear, or alternating spear), picket spacing (standard, puppy picket at the bottom, or custom), and finish color. Black is the most common in Allen, but bronze and white are also options with powder coated finishes suited to our sun exposure. For steel, we cover post size, wall thickness, and whether you need ornamental steel panels or welded custom sections for heavy security.
Once you approve the layout and style, we handle the layout marking and call in utility locates so no gas, electric, or irrigation lines are hit. For most jobs we dig post holes 18 to 30 inches deep depending on fence height and soil conditions. In some of our heavier clay areas we go deeper and wider with more concrete to resist movement when the ground shrinks and swells.
We set posts in concrete, making sure they are level and aligned, then allow sufficient cure time before hanging panels and gates. On sloped yards, we decide with you whether to step the fence so each panel sits level, or to rack the panels so the top rail follows the grade. Finally, we install caps, hardware, and any accessories, then walk the fence with you to confirm gate swing, latches, and overall look.
Design Options That Work In Allen’s Climate and Neighborhoods
Metal fences can all start to look the same if you only see the basic options. Legendary Fence Company Allen spends time on the details so your aluminum or steel fence fits your particular property and the surrounding neighborhood.
In many Allen subdivisions, HOAs prefer or require black aluminum with open pickets along rear property lines that back to greenbelts or creeks. We can match existing community styles while still changing picket spacing or adding a decorative top section near patios or pool areas where you want more character.
Around pools, we design aluminum fences to meet common pool safety standards. That usually means minimum height, limited horizontal rails that could be used as a ladder, and self closing, self latching gates that swing outward from the pool. We can also add magnetic or key lock latches placed higher so small children cannot reach them.
For front yard and side yard applications, we can mix materials. One common setup in Allen is a steel or aluminum fence on the sides with a heavier steel or aluminum framed gate across the driveway. We can integrate operator-ready gate frames if you plan to add an automatic opener later, or install them with openers as part of the project.
Finish matters in our heat and sun. All of our aluminum fence products use powder coated finishes that resist fading and chalking. For steel, we use galvanized or pre-galvanized materials with high quality coatings to minimize rust. If you are near retention ponds or low spots that hold water after storms, we recommend slightly higher bottom clearance and drainage planning so water does not sit against the metal for long periods.
If you are concerned about pets slipping through, we can specify tighter picket spacing or a bottom puppy panel while keeping the top section more open for a less boxed in look. For security focused projects, such as small businesses along Greenville Avenue or industrial yards, we can design steel fences with spear tops, heavier gauge material, and integrated access control points for card readers or keypads.
Cost Factors, Timing, and Common Issues With Metal Fences
Pricing for aluminum and steel fences in Allen is driven by a few specific factors: material type, fence height, total footage, number and type of gates, and any custom work needed. Aluminum is usually more cost effective for typical residential heights and styles, while steel costs more per foot but provides greater strength and security.
Height has a noticeable impact. A 4 foot aluminum fence around a yard will cost less per foot than a 6 foot aluminum or steel security fence, partly because of additional material, deeper footings, and sometimes increased permitting or HOA scrutiny. Decorative tops, puppy picket sections, and custom colors add cost as well, but we price them clearly so you can decide what is worth it for your property.
Labor is affected by site conditions. Rocky soil, old concrete footings that must be removed, heavy slopes, or many obstacles such as trees and retaining walls all add time. In some parts of Allen with older wood fences, we often find hidden metal stakes or concrete buried along the line. We account for these potential surprises in our estimates and discuss likely scenarios up front.
Weather also affects scheduling. In the hottest parts of summer, we try to pour concrete earlier in the day to reduce cracking as it sets under direct sun. After heavy North Texas rains, very soft ground may delay post setting by a day so the concrete holds properly. We plan your project around a realistic weather window and stay in touch if conditions change.
Common issues with poorly installed metal fences include posts that lean because the holes were too shallow, panels that rattle in high wind, or gates that sag and drag over time. Legendary Fence Company Allen addresses these during installation by using deeper footings where needed, proper bracing, and correctly sized gate posts and hinges. We also look at sprinkler patterns so overspray does not constantly soak hardware or sit against the base of steel posts.
Before you hire, you should know where your exact property lines are, whether your HOA has any fence restrictions, and what you want to accomplish with the fence. Having a copy of a survey helps prevent disputes with neighbors. If you do not have one, we can show you how to request it or advise whether you should involve a surveyor for tight or disputed boundaries.
Why Allen Homeowners and Businesses Choose Legendary Fence Company Allen
There are many companies that can set metal fence panels in the ground. The reason Allen property owners call Legendary Fence Company Allen is our focus on fit, function, and long term durability for this specific area of North Texas.
We are used to the shifting clay soils found in neighborhoods across Allen. That is why we rarely cut corners on post depth or concrete volume. We look at where your downspouts discharge, how water flows during storms, and where small low spots might cause mud against the fence line. Those details influence how high we set the bottom rail and how we handle drainage gaps so your fence lasts longer and stays straighter.
We also understand how fences affect daily use. For example, we make sure walk gates open in the direction that fits your mowing pattern and trash can route, not just the way that is easiest to build. Driveway gates are sized to fit real vehicle widths with mirrors and turning angles, not just standard measurements on paper.
Our crews keep the job site clean while work is underway. We haul away old fencing if needed, separate metal for recycling, and protect nearby landscaping as much as possible. After installation, we check every gate latch, confirm lock operation, and show you simple maintenance steps like occasional hinge lubrication and basic inspections.
When you call or contact Legendary Fence Company Allen about an aluminum fence or steel fence project, we give you straightforward information on options, timeline, and cost ranges. No high pressure tactics, just clear details so you can decide what works for your property in Allen. Whether you are replacing an old wood fence with a long lasting aluminum design or adding steel security fencing around a business, we are ready to plan a project that fits your goals and budget.
