Fence Planning Tips: What to Know Before You Build
Before purchasing materials or scheduling installation, it’s important to consider key factors that can affect your fencing project. These steps will help you plan effectively and avoid costly delays.
Check HOA Guidelines
If your property is part of a homeowners association, review any rules related to fence height, materials, or design. Many communities have restrictions that must be followed.
Talk to Your Neighbors
Open communication with adjacent property owners can prevent disputes. In some cases, you may even agree to split the cost of a shared boundary fence.
Define Your Goals and Choose a Fence Style
Select materials and designs that match your home’s architecture and meet your needs. Ask yourself: Is this fence for security, privacy, or pet and child safety? Will it enclose a pool or function as a decorative landscape feature?
Identify Property Boundaries
Confirm the exact location of your property lines before installation begins. Building outside your legal boundary may lead to legal or financial issues.
Get Necessary Permits
Check your city or county’s building codes to see if permits or zoning approvals are required. Titan Fence can assist in obtaining these for your project.
Locate Underground Utilities
Always contact local utility providers before digging to avoid damaging underground gas, electric, or water lines. Titan Fence can help coordinate utility locates as part of your installation process.

Building your own backyard fence is one of the most common DIY projects in North DFW, TX and for good reason. With the right skills and conditions, it can turn out beautifully. But before you start digging post holes and hauling materials, it’s worth asking yourself a few key questions.
Do You Have the Time?
Fence installation isn’t a one size fits all project. The time needed depends on your materials, property size, and terrain. Wood fences take longer to build than chain link. Rocky or uneven soil? Expect extra effort and time. If your fence is long or your yard has obstacles, be prepared for days or even weeks of hard, physical work.
Do You Have the Skills?
A flat, rock free yard with simple wood fencing is one thing. But a wrought iron fence with an automated gate on a sloped property is a whole different challenge. Think about grading, soil conditions, and structural requirements. If your project demands more expertise than you’re confident in, professional help may be the smarter choice.
Will You Have Support?
If you purchase a pre packaged fence system, you’ll probably have instructions and tech support. If you buy raw lumber or chain link rolls? You’re often on your own.
And remember if you run into problems and decide to call a contractor mid project, they may not work with materials you’ve already purchased, as they can’t guarantee the quality.
