Style catalog
Nine styles cover most of what Norman homeowners, businesses and landowners ask for. Every one is built on posts set in concrete, below the frost line.
Cedar or pine on steel posts
A solid board fence with a short lattice panel along the top. The lattice lets light and air through, softens the look from the neighbor’s side and gives climbing plants something to hold. We frame it on galvanized steel posts like every wood privacy fence, and can build a matching walk gate with an arched top.
Best for
Cedar or pine on steel posts
A 6- or 8-foot privacy fence finished with a flat cap board along the top and a trim board below it. The cap sheds rain off the board ends, which helps them last longer, and gives the fence a clean, built-in look. It’s a common choice in Norman neighborhoods with HOA fence rules.
Best for
Cedar or pine, wood or steel posts
Boards run sideways between the posts for a modern, clean-lined look. Long horizontal boards can sag or cup over a wide span, so we set posts closer together than on a standard privacy fence and add support where it’s needed. Gaps between boards can be tight for privacy or wider for an open feel.
Best for
Powder-coated steel or aluminum
The look of classic wrought iron, built from welded steel with a powder-coat finish that resists rust. Pickets come with spear, flat or finial tops, and panels step down slopes. Aluminum has the same look in a lighter, rust-proof form that suits pools and lawns with sprinklers.
Best for
Vinyl (PVC)
Solid PVC panels that never need paint or stain and won’t rot, splinter or attract termites. A rinse with a hose keeps them clean. We set every post in concrete and reinforce gate posts so panels hold up to Oklahoma wind. Vinyl also comes in tan and wood-grain colors and in semi-privacy and picket styles.
Best for
Vinyl-coated or galvanized steel
Chain link with a black vinyl coating over galvanized steel, so it fades into grass and trees instead of shining in the sun. It keeps dogs and kids in without blocking the view, and a bottom tension wire stops pets from pushing underneath. It’s the most economical way to fence a large yard.
Best for
Ornamental steel, chain link or wood on a steel frame
A double swing gate in ornamental steel, hung between brick or stone columns or heavy steel posts. Driveway gates can swing or slide depending on the slope and space you have, and can be fitted with a solar or hard-wired opener, remotes and a keypad. Gate posts are set deeper than line posts so the gate stays level.
Best for
Vinyl or wood
A short, open fence that marks the edge of a front yard or garden without hiding the house. Picket fences fit Norman’s front-yard rules, which keep fences forward of the front setback line under 4 feet tall. We build them in vinyl, which never needs paint, or in wood you can paint or stain.
Best for
Welded steel pipe
Welded steel pipe posts and rails built for acreage, horse pastures, arenas and county-road frontage around east Norman, Little Axe and Noble. It’s painted to resist rust and lasts for decades. We also build pipe-and-cable fence, woven field fence and barbed wire with braced pipe corners.

Choosing a style
Start with what the fence needs to do. Here’s what we recommend for the most common goals.
A 6- or 8-foot wood privacy fence (capped, board-on-board or lattice-top) or a solid vinyl privacy fence. Norman’s zoning code allows side and rear fences up to 8 feet tall.
Our picks: Capped wood privacy, white vinyl privacy
Chain link with a bottom tension wire for diggers and pushers, or wood privacy with a kickboard and buried dig guard. Go taller for jumpers, and solid for dogs that bark at everything they see.
Our picks: Black chain link, wood privacy
On lots under 2 acres, Norman requires a pool barrier at least 4 feet tall with no opening a 4-inch sphere can pass through, and a self-closing, self-latching gate. Ornamental aluminum or steel with tightly spaced pickets meets that and keeps the view.
Our picks: Ornamental steel or aluminum
Fences forward of the front setback line must be under 4 feet tall in Norman. A picket or low ornamental fence marks the yard and adds curb appeal without hiding the house.
Our picks: Picket, ornamental steel
Welded steel pipe for horses, arenas and frontage; pipe-and-cable or woven field fence for longer runs. Braced corners keep the line tight for years.
Our picks: Steel pipe ranch, field fence
Vinyl, aluminum and chain link need little more than an occasional rinse. Wood looks warm and natural but needs a fresh coat of stain every 2–3 years to last.
Our picks: Vinyl, aluminum, chain link
Questions
No. The images on this page are example images of each fence style, not photos of jobs we've completed. We use them so you can see and compare styles before your estimate. At the estimate we go over the exact material, height, post type and gate hardware for your fence, and your written quote spells out what you're getting.
Usually, yes. Show us the fence you want to match or bring your HOA's fence guidelines to the estimate, and we'll match the material, height, board style and color as closely as current materials allow. New wood boards look brighter than weathered ones at first, so a stain can help a repair or extension blend in.
Yes, and it's common. Many Norman homes use a picket or ornamental steel fence in front, where fences forward of the front setback line must be under 4 feet tall, and a 6- or 8-foot privacy fence around the backyard. Matching gates and colors tie the two together.
Chain link is usually the most economical way to fence a large area, and pressure-treated pine is usually the most economical wood privacy fence. The cost of any style depends mostly on footage, height, material, gates and terrain, so the only accurate answer is a written quote. Your free on-site estimate lists every cost factor line by line.
