#1 Post and Rail Fencing Company in Vacaville, CA

Installing a properly constructed post and rail fence requires expertise, planning, high-quality materials, and precision workmanship. Here is an overview of our process when installing your custom post and rail fence:

Site Evaluation and Planning

• We thoroughly evaluate your property to determine the best placement and layout for the fence. Important factors include existing structures, trees and landscaping, property lines, and municipal codes.
• We calculate the linear footage needed and map out post size, spacing, rail height, and other specifications tailored to your site.
• If permitting is required, we handle the permitting process from start to finish.

Material Selection

• We use only the best Western Red Cedar or Douglas Fir timber for a durable, long-lasting fence that is naturally resistant to rot and insect damage.
• Post and rail size and length are determined based on factors like fence height, wind load, and span between posts. We use properly graded and rated lumber.
• For hardware, we use galvanized steel brackets, rails, bolts, and screws that provide stability without rusting.

Digging Post Holes

• We use equipment like an auger or backhoe to dig holes for posts at the correct depth and spacing according to the build plan.
• The holes are dug deeper in areas with loose or sandy soil to ensure sturdy support when set in concrete.
• If utilities are marked on the property, we carefully avoid them when digging.

Setting the Posts

• Pressure-treated wood posts are placed in the holes and aligned plumb using post levelers and braces.
• After verifying alignment, we pour concrete into the holes and allow adequate curing time.
• For added stability on uneven terrain, metal anchors are driven into the ground at the base of end, corner and gate posts.

Attaching Rails

• Once the end, corner, and gate posts are set and cured, we span the fence line by attaching rails using galvanized metal brackets.
• The rails are attached flush or with decorative spacing depending on your preference. The fence will follow the contours of your landscape.
• For sloped areas, step down cross members are installed to maintain an even rail height throughout.

Finishing Touches

• We carefully assess the finished fence and make any adjustments needed to ensure straight, properly aligned post and rail assemblies.
• Once approved, a clear preservative sealer is applied to protect the wood while allowing the natural grain to show through.
• We do a final walkthrough with you to ensure your complete satisfaction and answer any questions.
