No-dig installation is faster, cleaner, and better for your yard. Steel posts are driven into the ground instead of digging and pouring concrete. The steel posts give your fence strong, stable support from the ground up without leaving piles of dirt or muddy patches. This innovative method keeps your fence strong and stunning for years.
Fence gauge refers to the thickness of the steel wire or framework, and it directly affects how strong and long-lasting your fence will be. A lower gauge number means thicker, stronger wire. At Summit Fence, we typically install black 8-gauge finish extruded on galvanized core, which provides a heavy, durable wire with a protective black coating. Alternatively, we offer all-black, galvanized 9-gauge, which is a strong and reliable option for standard residential use.
In addition to the classic galvanized steel finish, Summit Fence offers chain link fences in black, green, white, brown, and other colors upon request. These coated options help your fence blend with your landscaping while protecting the materials against rusting or corroding, keeping your fence looking attractive for years.
