The lead time is based strictly on our workload, not a predetermined schedule.

If you aren't sure what type of fence is best for your needs and goals at your commercial property, our team is here to discuss it with you and give you advice on the benefits and features that comes with each fence we offer.
To find out what fence works best, look through the types of commercial fences we offer and the styles we carry, and compare them to the benefits you need for your business. Some fences are best installed for privacy, like wood fences and vinyl fences. Other fence materials, like aluminum fences and chain link fences, work best for security and strength. If your purpose is mainly decorative, both aluminum fencing and vinyl look amazing!
Whether you are looking for one or more of these benefits from your fence, our professionals can help you make a perfect choice that meets your requirements.
The main difference between commercial fencing and residential fencing is the gauge of the metal or the thickness of the fence material. Often, commercial properties require a higher level of security, and our commercial-grade fencing is manufactured to be stronger overall. Within commercial-grade fencing, there are multiple levels of strength and for some fence materials, industrial-grade fencing can also be installed, which possesses an even higher level of security and strength.
We highly recommend having a physical survey done prior to installing a fence on your business or commercial property. Fence placement is the responsibility of the customer and moving a fence down the line can be costly. We recommend having the survey completed so our experts can make sure it is installed correctly the first time.
The cost of your commercial fencing will be dependent on the type of fence material, style, and grade you choose. Normally, commercial-grade fences are built to a higher degree of strength to give optimal security for your space. When you choose commercial-grade fencing, it will reflect a higher price point than the residential versions of the same type, but overall, you can analyze your needs and compare our entire line of fencing products to determine what fits your needs and budget best!
Many fences available in Missouri are great for security purposes. The level of security and protection you need will help determine which type of fence will fit your company's needs. All types of fences can create a secure border to protect your business property, equipment, and employees. Most commonly, chain link fences and aluminum fences are used for commercial-grade security. Within those types of fences are different gauges, or thicknesses, of the fence material that provides a greater amount of protection. No matter what you need, speak to our staff to find out more about what we offer!

Absolutely! Aluminum pool fences are very popular in Springfield, Missouri and the surrounding area.

All posts, panels and components used to create our aluminum fence and gate systems are manufactured by Aluminum Fence Supply are manufactured in the USA.
Aluminum fences are a high quality material that is maintenance free and long lasting. It doesn't rust or fade and will stand up to harsh weather without splintering or warping. Because of the higher engineering of the aluminum alloy materials, this type of fencing is often more costly than other types like wood or chain link.
Always compare the styles and materials you are looking for with the costs and the benefits that you will receive. Many people in the Springfield area choose aluminum fencing due to the fact that it will not cost routine maintenance or repairs for the long life of the fence.
Typically we wait 2-3 days after the posts are set before installing the fence, this is to allow the concrete to cure to the point that it is ready to hold the fence. If the nighttime temperatures climb about 60 that time frame can decrease, if they fall below 30 degrees, then we typically give the concrete a bit longer to cure.
Our posts are set two feet, deep enough to get below the frost line found in the Springfield, Missouri area.
Our posts are set with Sakrete brand concrete. This is important for two reasons:
The property owner is required by many area city municipalities to apply for a building permit with the planning or zoning department prior to construction. The counties do not typically require a permit; however, fences must still conform to all height and set back requirements.
Chain link fences are popular everywhere, and Springfield, Missouri is no different.
The versatility and relatively low cost of chain link fencing makes it a great choice for just about any situation.
Chain link fencing is totally appropriate for providing protection for pools in the Springfield, Missouri area. When using chain link for pools, we use a smaller mesh. The typical mesh is between 2" and 2 1/4", however, for pools we use a 1" mesh chain link.
Additionally, there are many options and enhancements that can really improve the look and style of chain link fences. PVC coated chain link fences are popular in black and in green. Brown is also available by special order.
Privacy slats can also be added to your chain link fence giving Springfield, Missouri property owners the privacy they often want for their pools and their family. Privacy slats offer a more visually appealing style for many people. PVC slats, which come in different shades and finishes, are an attractive choice that is available in a wider range of colors and styles.
Pricing on all fencing materials can fluctuate, but generally speaking, chain link fencing is usually among the lowest priced fencing options.

Absolutely! Our Montage Plus Pool, Pet and Play (PPP) is an ideal choice for a dog fence, pool fence or child safety fence. It was created to combat safety concerns in these applications. The primary difference in Montage Plus PPP is the 3" airspace between pickets.
Major corrosion problems start from the inside. Protection against corrosion starts with a proven process, which is why all our ornamental iron products are treated with a superior E-Coat process that protects the product with complete coverage inside and out. The galvanized steel framework is subjected to a multi-stage pre-treatment/wash (with zinc phosphate), followed by a duplex cathodic electrocoat system consisting of an epoxy primer, which significantly increases corrosion protection, and an acrylic topcoat, which provides the protection necessary to withstand adverse weathering effects.

Wood fences are the most popular type of fencing in the Springfield, Missouri area.
Nothing quite matches the look of a well-crafted custom wood fence.
Wood fencing is totally appropriate for providing privacy around the perimeter of a Springfield, Missouri property - whether it has a pool or not.
Many homeowners will also protect the immediate area around the pool itself. In this case, we typically recommend either aluminum fencing or vinyl fencing - both of which will not be damaged by the moisture associated with a pool area.
Pricing on all fencing materials can fluctuate, but generally speaking, the up-front cost of wood fencing is usually lower than other types of fencing. However, because wood fencing needs to be painted or refinished over time - the total cost of ownership should be factored into your purchase.
We recommend you seal your fence in order to prolong the beauty of your investment. This can be done either by purchasing a penetrating sealant of your choosing and applying per the directions or by hiring a contractor. Ozark fence is proud to offer staining and sealing services for all your sealing and protection needs.
We use a ring shank galvanized nail. This nail is designed to grip the wood and allow for only minimal bleed. Because a nail is metal and bleeding is inevitable even with a galvanized coating, we counter sinks the nail into the picket in an attempt to direct the bleed into the center of the picket versus down the face. If you would prefer screws, we are willing to use them on your fence; however, it is not recommended. Using screws will drive the cost of the fence up because there are more man hours required during installation.
Screws are more likely to bleed than nails even if they are galvanized. The reason there is more bleed is because as the screw is screwed into the wood, the galvanized coating is stripped off of the screw either from the wood itself and/or the drill tip.
