Big Bob's Fence | Trusted Commercial Fencing in Lawton, OK

The clay-heavy soil in Lawton expands and contracts significantly with moisture changes, which can loosen post footings. Combined with our frequent high winds, this puts extra pressure on fence posts, causing them to lean over time. Big Bob's Fence solves this by setting posts deeper—at least 24 to 30 inches—and using concrete collars that resist soil movement, giving your fence a stable base that lasts.

Look for signs like major leaning sections, rotting or cracked wood at ground level, loose or missing pickets, and gates that drag or won't latch. If more than 30% of your fence shows these issues, a full replacement might be more cost-effective. Big Bob's Fence offers free on-site evaluations in Lawton neighborhoods, so you get an honest, expert opinion on whether repair or a new build is the better long-term solution.

For our area, we typically recommend heavy-gauge aluminum or vinyl fencing, which won't warp or rot like wood and stands up to gusts common around Cache Road and the mountainside areas. If you prefer wood, we use pressure-treated pine with vertical grain to reduce warping and install windbreakers in long panels. Either way, we use corrosion-resistant hardware and deeper posts to meet the demands of Oklahoma weather.
