There are four main components that determine the strength and longevity of a wood fence at properties across Springfield, Missouri.
Naturally beautiful wood posts, pickets, rails, join forces to form this sturdy fencing option. Constructed from cypress and kiln-dried red cedar, Ozark Fence Company has the expertise necessary to combine the key features of a wood fence to meet and exceed your expectations.
There is simply no way to stress enough - the importance of strong posts that are properly installed for the strength and life of your wood fence!
Ozark Fence Company uses PostMaster steel posts for all of our wood fencing. Since the posts are covered with wood, they are engineered to provide you with the strength of steel without sacrificing the natural beauty of wood. Constructed of structural steel with a heavy galvanized coating, PostMaster posts can withstand high winds and heavy rain and will never rot or warp.
All of our wood fence posts, rails, and pickets are expertly chosen and installed, to maximize the life of your wood fence in Springfield, Missouri.
Unlike many competitors, we use a middle rail (a 3rd rail) for added strength and to avoid warping and bowing, commonly found in poorly installed wood fences all across the Springfield, Missouri region.
People sitting on the top of the fence, climbing the fence, leaning heavy objects against the fence, or branches falling onto the top of the fence can all easily damage a low-quality wood fence rail! Rot, splitting, warping ... these are all much more likely and much more severe with lower quality wood materials. Our wood fences are built to last and a key reason our wood fences last so long and look like new - is because of the higher quality wood fencing materials we install for our residential and our commercial clients.
All of our wood fence posts, rails, and pickets are expertly chosen and installed, to maximize the life of your wood fence in Springfield, Missouri.
Cedar pickets are far stronger than a builder grade wood or any other treated wood picket. Natural oils in cedar make it resistant to insect infestations, rotting, and harsh weather conditions. Because of these oils, cedar fences also age quite well, maintaining their color rather than fading to gray as some wood fences tend to do over time.

The type of wood you choose for your wood fence will determine the look as well as provide protection against Springfield, Missouri elements. The type of wood used to construct your fence will have an effect on the look of the finish. Ozark Fence Company is proud to offer cypress and kiln-dried red cedar. For convenience, prestained pine is available to be installed. Choosing a paint, stain, or sealer after installation to match your personal preference is another way to create a long-lasting wood finish that will enhance the beauty of your wood fence.
The versatility of wood fences cannot be matched by any other type of fence. Besides being environmentally friendly, they are a gorgeous option to transform your outdoor living space.

The best scenario when having a fence installed is to have a perfectly flat, level yard. Unfortunately, this is rarely the case. Let's explore how fence professionals at Ozark Fence Company can design the perfect solution for your situation.
The best scenario when having a fence installed is to have a perfectly flat, level yard. Unfortunately, this is rarely the case. At first glance, many yards appear to be mostly flat and level. However, a closer usually reveals slopes and dips in your yard that can have a dramatic impact on the installation of your fence.
Don't worry! There are many ways to install a beautiful fence on sloping or uneven ground!

Homeowners will often ask that their fence is “level” … which is totally understandable. However, a level fence on uneven or sloping ground is probably NOT what you really want!
As you can see here, if your yard slopes or dips, a level fence may not be the right approach.

In some cases, a property might have a consistent slope from front to back or side to side. If this is the case, matching the slope of the ground yields a beautiful “straight”, sloping fence line.
Many people love the look of this approach.

Another way to handle a sloping yard is to use a “stepped” approach. Each individual fence panel is level and steps down, consistent with the slope of the yard.
Depending on the steepness of the slope, each fence panel is at ground level on one end, but can be several inches off the ground on the other. For this reason, if the look of a “stepped” approach is your preference, we only recommend it for gradual slopes.

Another great solution for sloping yards is to add a decorative retaining wall along the perimeter and to build the fence on top of the wall.
By doing this, you get to have the level stepped approach while maintaining excellent ground level integrity.

Shown here is the most common approach to uneven and sloping ground. The fence simply follows the contour of the land. The “rolling”, “flowing” fence line closely matches the ground - creating the most natural look for a fence.
We carefully place posts at key points along the perimeter to most closely match the contour of the land … but there are limitations to how closely we can match sudden changes in height and contour. So small gaps are to be expected in certain points at the bottom of the fence. This is completely normal and there are ways to “hide” them if that is a concern for you (including using a decorative retaining wall as described above).

The “stepped” approach is often used for ground that is both sloping and uneven. This is really a matter of preference but for ground that is “wavy”, this may not yield the desired result, as the fence can look very “choppy” (as shown here).
Stepped or rolling with the contours - sometimes it's just a matter of personal preference. We've done it both ways, many times.

For the ultimate in customization, another option MIGHT be to install the fence perfectly level, then we extend the bottom of the fence to match the contours of the ground.
This is almost exclusively available as an option for WOOD FENCES only.
This requires a lot more planning and calculation. This equates to more time - meaning a higher cost. Much longer wood posts, rails, and pickets may also be needed - which also increases costs.
Another issue is, by design - the bottom rails are not level and are not evenly spaced. The bottom rails simulate the contour of the ground below it - which is a look that not everyone likes. So while the top of the fence is perfectly straight and level, the bottom most certainly is not!

Wood fences are the most popular type of fencing in the Springfield, Missouri area.
Nothing quite matches the look of a well-crafted custom wood fence.
Wood fencing is totally appropriate for providing privacy around the perimeter of a Springfield, Missouri property - whether it has a pool or not.
Many homeowners will also protect the immediate area around the pool itself. In this case, we typically recommend either aluminum fencing or vinyl fencing - both of which will not be damaged by the moisture associated with a pool area.
Pricing on all fencing materials can fluctuate, but generally speaking, the up-front cost of wood fencing is usually lower than other types of fencing. However, because wood fencing needs to be painted or refinished over time - the total cost of ownership should be factored into your purchase.
We recommend you seal your fence in order to prolong the beauty of your investment. This can be done either by purchasing a penetrating sealant of your choosing and applying per the directions or by hiring a contractor. Ozark fence is proud to offer staining and sealing services for all your sealing and protection needs.
We use a ring shank galvanized nail. This nail is designed to grip the wood and allow for only minimal bleed. Because a nail is metal and bleeding is inevitable even with a galvanized coating, we counter sinks the nail into the picket in an attempt to direct the bleed into the center of the picket versus down the face. If you would prefer screws, we are willing to use them on your fence; however, it is not recommended. Using screws will drive the cost of the fence up because there are more man hours required during installation.
Screws are more likely to bleed than nails even if they are galvanized. The reason there is more bleed is because as the screw is screwed into the wood, the galvanized coating is stripped off of the screw either from the wood itself and/or the drill tip.
Our warranty covers several aspects of the fence:
Typically we wait 2-3 days after the posts are set before installing the fence, this is to allow the concrete to cure to the point that it is ready to hold the fence. If the nighttime temperatures climb to about about 60 degrees, the time frame can decrease, if they fall below 30 degrees, then we typically give the concrete a bit longer to cure.
Our posts are set two feet, deep enough to get below the frost line found in the Springfield, Missouri area.
Our posts are set with Sakrete brand concrete. This is important for two reasons:
The property owner is required by many area city municipalities to apply for a building permit with the planning or zoning department prior to construction. The counties do not typically require a permit; however, fences must still conform to all height and set back requirements.
