DFW Elite Outdoors - McKinney's Top-Rated Fence Builders

Privacy fence blowouts in McKinney are typically caused by high winds that catch the solid panels, acting like a sail and pulling the fence posts out of the ground or snapping rails. This is common in open areas like near Erwin Park or in newer neighborhoods where the soil can be looser. DFW Elite Outdoors solves this by setting posts deeper (often 24-30 inches) with concrete footings, using thicker posts (4x4 or 6x6), and installing wind-resistant brackets. We also offer fence designs with small gaps or lattice tops that reduce wind load, keeping your fence standing through strong storms.

You might notice a fence panel leaning after a windy day, gates that no longer latch correctly, or visible cracks near the rail-to-post connections. Another sign is a gap between the post and the ground, indicating the post is starting to lift. In McKinney, where wind gusts can exceed 40 mph during storms, these issues can worsen quickly. Our team inspects these problem areas and can reinforce or replace the affected sections before a full blowout occurs.

Absolutely. When we install a pool, we often integrate a pool fence or enclosure that meets both safety codes and local wind standards. For McKinney, we recommend aluminum or steel fencing for pool areas because they resist rust and are much stronger than wood panels against wind. We also ensure the gate hinges and self-closing latches are heavy-duty. This gives you a secure, long-lasting pool area that won't blow open or get damaged during windy weather.
