Fence Contractor in Kerman, CA

Kerman is west of Fresno on Highway 180, out where the valley opens up into flat almond and dairy ground with very little between one property and the next. That openness is the single most important thing about fencing here. Wind crosses the west side with nothing to slow it down, and it is the reason so many solid wood fences in Kerman are leaning in the same direction.

The fix is not a stronger fence, it is a fence that lets air through. Slatted chain-link screens a yard nearly as well as board fence while bleeding wind pressure instead of catching it, and it costs less to build. Where a customer wants wood anyway, we go deeper and wider on the posts, use galvanized steel posts rather than wood, and space them closer than a Fresno backyard would need.

Dust is the other west-side reality. It gets into gate hardware and grinds it. On Kerman jobs we favor heavier hinges and latches with more tolerance for grit, and on sliding gates we lean toward cantilever designs so there is no ground track for dirt to fill.
