Herron Fencing | Fence & Gate Installation in McLoud, OK

In our Oklahoma climate, clay soils expand when wet and contract when dry, causing posts to shift. Herron Fencing addresses this by setting posts deeper (typically 24–30 inches) and using concrete collars designed for local soil conditions. We also install proper drainage gravel at the base to prevent water pooling near the post, keeping your gate aligned all year.

That's a common issue from moisture-rich soil causing posts to sink or lean. Herron Fencing will inspect your gate’s hardware and post footings. We’ll re-set or reinforce the hinge post, level the gate, and install self-closing hinges if needed. For new gates in that area, we recommend a wrap-around latch that tolerates slight movement.

For McLoud’s agricultural properties near highways, we recommend a combination of woven wire field fence with an extra top rail or barbless top wire. Herron Fencing uses heavy-duty posts set in concrete every 8–10 feet, with woven wire tensioned properly for long spans. This keeps cattle in and predators out, even in windy conditions.
