Why Allen Trusts Dallas Fence

"We have three kids and two dogs. Dallas Fence built us a beautiful cedar fence with a great gate system. It's been two years and it still looks brand new."

"Our builder fence was falling apart after 6 years. Dallas Fence replaced it with proper cedar and steel posts. The HOA approved it quickly and it looks so much better than the original."

Our Services
Fence Services in Allen
Allen homeowners overwhelmingly choose cedar privacy fences—board-on-board is the standard here. We also see strong demand for pool fencing (Allen has a lot of backyard pools) and iron fencing for front yards in upscale communities like Twin Creeks.
Wood Fence Installation
Cedar privacy fencing is the gold standard in Allen. Nearly every HOA in Allen specifies wood fencing for backyards, with board-on-board construction being the most common requirement. We've installed fences in communities from Twin Creeks to Montgomery Farm to The Preserve.
Our wood fences use premium Western Red Cedar with galvanized steel posts set in concrete. This construction method prevents the post rot that plagues builder-grade fences and ensures your fence stays straight for decades. Staining included or optional.
- Premium Western Red Cedar
- Steel posts with concrete footings
- Board-on-board, side-by-side styles
- HOA-approved designs
Pool Fence Installation
Allen has one of the highest concentrations of backyard pools in North Texas, making pool fencing a major part of our work here. Texas law requires barriers around residential pools, and we install fencing that meets all state and city requirements.
We offer ornamental iron, powder-coated aluminum, and removable mesh barriers. All installations include self-closing, self-latching gates with proper swing direction. We coordinate city inspections to ensure your pool fence passes the first time.
- Code-compliant 48"+ height
- Self-closing, self-latching gates
- Iron, aluminum, mesh options
- City inspection coordination
Iron & Ornamental Fence
Allen's upscale communities often require ornamental iron for front yards. Twin Creeks, The Lakes of Allen, and Waterford Parks all specify iron or aluminum for front-facing fencing. We've installed hundreds of linear feet across these neighborhoods.
Our iron fencing is powder-coated for durability and available in various styles—from simple pickets to decorative designs with finials and scrollwork. All installations include proper concrete footings and meet Allen HOA standards.
- Wrought iron and aluminum
- Powder-coated finishes
- Multiple decorative styles
- HOA-compliant designs
Privacy Fence Solutions
Privacy is a top priority for Allen homeowners, and our board-on-board construction delivers. Overlapping pickets ensure zero visibility even as cedar naturally shrinks—you get complete privacy from day one that stays that way for years.
We also offer horizontal slat designs for a contemporary aesthetic, cap-and-trim options for added elegance, and 8-foot fences where HOAs permit. All privacy fences include quality hardware and proper drainage gaps at the bottom.
- Board-on-board construction
- Horizontal slat options
- 6 and 8 foot heights
- Cap-and-trim upgrades
Automatic Gates & Access
Many Allen properties—particularly larger lots and corner homes—benefit from automatic driveway gates. We install swing and slide gates with various access options: keypads, remotes, smartphone apps, and video intercoms for added security.
Our gate systems integrate with wood, iron, and aluminum fencing. We handle fabrication, electrical work, and operator installation. All systems include safety sensors to prevent accidents and battery backup for power outages.
- Swing and slide gates
- Keypad, remote, app access
- Safety sensors included
- Battery backup systems
Fence Repair & Restoration
Builder-grade fences in Allen's newer neighborhoods often start showing problems after 7-10 years—rotting wood posts, warped pickets, and gates that won't close. We fix these issues and upgrade components to prevent future problems.
We also repair storm damage, fix leaning sections, replace broken gates, and restore weathered cedar with staining. Sometimes a full replacement makes more sense—we'll give you an honest assessment either way.
- Builder fence upgrades
- Storm damage repair
- Gate repair and replacement
- Staining and restoration
Local Knowledge
Allen Fence Rules, HOAs & What to Know
Like neighboring Frisco and McKinney, Allen is heavily governed by HOAs. Nearly every neighborhood—from established communities like Twin Creeks to newer developments along 121—has active homeowners associations with specific fence requirements.
Common Allen HOA requirements include: board-on-board cedar construction, 6-foot maximum height, steel posts, specific stain colors (usually natural or weathered cedar tones), and "good neighbor" construction where the fence looks finished on both sides. Some communities also require cap and trim for a more finished look.
The City of Allen doesn't require permits for most residential fences under 8 feet. However, pool fences must meet safety codes (self-closing gates, proper spacing), and corner lots have visibility requirements. We check all of this during your free estimate.
HOA Approval Assistance
We prepare all HOA paperwork for Allen communities. Most approve within 7-14 days.

Local FAQ
Fence Installation FAQ: Allen
Yes—Allen is heavily governed by HOAs. Nearly every community, including Twin Creeks, The Village at Allen, Montgomery Farm, and Watters Creek, has an active HOA with fence requirements. These typically include board-on-board cedar construction, specific stain colors, and architectural review approval. We handle all HOA submissions and have a strong track record in Allen.
The City of Allen generally doesn't require permits for residential fences under 8 feet. However, pool fences must meet specific safety codes (proper height, self-closing gates, etc.), and corner lots have visibility triangle requirements. HOA approval is separate from city permits and is almost always required in Allen.
Board-on-board cedar privacy fences are by far the most common in Allen—they meet most HOA requirements and provide excellent privacy for backyards. Many families add cap and trim upgrades for a more finished look. Iron fencing is popular for front yards in upscale areas like Twin Creeks, and pool fencing is common given how many Allen homes have backyard pools.
Most residential fence installations in Allen are completed in 1-2 days once we begin work. The total timeline from initial contact to completion is typically 2-4 weeks, with HOA approval being the longest step. Allen HOAs typically respond within 7-14 days.
