Windbreak Fencing Midland, TX

Installing an effective windbreak fence requires careful planning and execution by qualified fencing contractors. Here is a detailed overview of our proven process when you hire us for your wind barrier fencing project:

Initial Property Assessment

The first step our Midland fence installation team takes is a thorough assessment of your unique property. This includes:

• Identifying areas most vulnerable to wind exposure that would benefit from a windbreak
• Evaluating prevailing wind direction and typical strengths during storms
• Examining terrain, grading and drainage that may impact fence placement
• Inspecting any existing structures, landscaping or utilities where fencing will be installed
• Determining optimal fence height, post spacing, and alignment for maximum wind interruption

Properly evaluating the physical characteristics of your property allows us to recommend the ideal windbreak fencing design specific to your location and problem areas.

Material Selection

There are many types of fencing materials to choose from, but only certain ones have the durability to withstand high velocity winds. Our fencing specialists will help you decide which materials make the most sense based on factors such as:

• Wood – Naturally resilient cedar and redwood resist splintering and cracking better than pine or fir. The naturally textured grain also helps break up wind.
• Aluminum – Lightweight for easy installation yet strong enough for wind load resistance. The sleek profile doesn’t trap debris and reduces drag.
• Steel – Galvanized or powder-coated steel offers ultimate strength. Vertical, horizontal or woven wire configurations available. Avoid corrosion with high quality grades.
• Vinyl – PVC resins make vinyl fencing flexible, splinter-proof and highly weather-resistant. Multi-layered options reinforce strength.
• Masonry – Concrete, stone, stucco or brick walls when properly reinforced make excellent wind barriers but are more expensive.

We’ll provide samples of recommended materials so you can see and feel each option while also factoring cost into the decision matrix.

Custom Fencing Design

Every windbreak application has unique considerations that must be incorporated into the structural design. Our CAD software allows us to create specialized drawings optimized for wind load resistance and functionality, including:

• Site plan identifying exact fence placement
• Step-by-step construction blueprints
• Decorative elements matching your home’s aesthetics
• Gates, caps, lattices and other accessories

You’ll have the opportunity to review and approve the custom fence plans before installation begins so we get it right the first time.

Permitting & Preparation

Depending on the type of windbreak system designed for your property, permitting from the city may be required which we can facilitate on your behalf. We also take care of:

• Scheduling underground utility locating services before digging
• Site preparation such as vegetation removal in fence footprint
• Grading terrain and pouring concrete for setting fence posts

Proper permitting and preparation prevents unexpected surprises down the road and sets the stage for smooth fence installation.

Precision Fence Installation

Our professional crew brings an engineering mindset to methodically installing your wind barrier fence while following the approved plans. We take extreme care to:

• Properly space and align posts in concrete for maximum stability
• Secure fence framing to withstand specified wind loads
• Allow proper spacing between pickets, panels or wire fencing to balance wind flow as designed
• Install any requested ornamental touches matching fence drawings

Thanks to experience gained from hundreds of fencing projects in Midland, we get each component right the first time for long-lasting performance and protection.

Ongoing Maintenance

While a properly designed and installed windbreak fence is highly durable, periodic inspection and maintenance is recommended to keep everything functioning at peak capacity. We offer affordable annual service plans that include:

• Checking for signs of loosening posts, warped boards or fraying wires
• Testing gate functionality and spraying hinges
• Clearing debris clustered along fence line
• Spot treating any minor wood decay or metal corrosion

Performing preventative fence maintenance reduces the chance of bigger problems and repairs down the road to keep your wind barrier solution standing strong through all kinds of west Texas weather.
