Gates
Privacy, security, and a defined property line, built to hold up against Oregon's wet winters and whatever else comes at it. Installed once, maintained minimally.

The Craft
Your property line. Defined properly.
Fencing in the Pacific Northwest fails for two reasons: posts that weren't set deep enough and wood that wasn't treated for moisture. We set posts to frost depth, use concrete footing on every post, and spec materials for Oregon's actual climate, not what looks good in a showroom. A fence that leans or rots in five years wasn't built wrong at the top. It was built wrong at the bottom.
We install wood privacy fencing, cedar dog-ear and board-on-board, aluminum, and chain link, across residential and commercial properties. Gates are hung plumb, hardware is commercial grade, and every fence line is checked for level before we leave. Clean install. No shortcuts on the posts.

Our fencing process covers
5core dimensions
- §01
Property Line & Layout Review
We verify setback requirements and property lines before any posts are set. No surprises after the fence is up.
- §02
Material Selection
Cedar, pressure-treated pine, aluminum, or chain link, selected for your privacy needs, your budget, and how long you want it to last in Oregon.
- §03
Post Setting
Every post set to frost depth with concrete footing. This is the part most fencing crews cut corners on. We don't.
- §04
Panel & Rail Installation
Rails leveled between posts, panels or boards installed plumb and consistently spaced. Finished edges on all exposed cuts.
- §05
Gate Hanging & Hardware
Gates hung plumb on heavy-duty hinges, latched with commercial-grade hardware. Adjusted for swing clearance and long-term sag prevention.
One boundary. Built right.
Privacy fencing that holds its line through Oregon winters.
Property line by property line, post by post, every footing, rail, and panel gets the same attention from the same crew that scoped the job.
Verify property lines and local setback requirements
Select material, cedar, board-on-board, or pressure-treated
Set posts to frost depth with concrete footing throughout
Install rails level, panels or boards plumb and consistent
Finish cut edges and install post caps
Gates hung plumb and built to stay that way.
Gates fail at the hinge, the post, or the swing. We size every component for the load, hang plumb, and adjust for clearance so it still latches in year ten.
Design gate width, swing direction, and hardware spec
Set gate posts with extra footing depth for load
Hang gate on heavy-duty hinges rated for panel weight
Install latch, lock, and self-closing hardware as specified
Test swing, adjust clearance, and verify long-term sag prevention
Posts first. Everything else follows.
Every fence failure we've ever seen started at the post. Too shallow, no concrete, wrong material for the soil. The panels and boards everyone sees are just the visible part, the post depth and footing is what determines whether it's still standing straight in ten years. We set every post like it's going to get tested by the wettest winter Oregon can throw at it. Because it will.
