Properties throughout Van Buren and the surrounding area can vary considerably. Some projects involve established homes and existing fence lines. Others involve commercial sites, larger properties, new construction, or land with changing grade and soil conditions.
We evaluate the actual property before recommending the fence, gate, or entrance system.
If you are planning a new installation or replacing an older system, request an estimate and tell us what you need.
Homes here are not all the same
Homeowners contact Modern Fence for many different reasons.
Some want more privacy in the backyard. Others need to replace an older fence, create a defined area for children or pets, add a driveway gate, or improve the appearance of the property.
Our residential fencing services can be planned around the way the yard is actually used.
A good residential fence should work with the property rather than simply follow the easiest installation path.
What fits the property in Van Buren
Wood fencing
Wood fencing remains a popular option for residential yards because it works well for privacy and can be adapted to different property layouts.
Backyards, side yards, property lines, outdoor living areas, gardens, and other spaces where homeowners want a more enclosed yard.
Privacy fencing
For many Van Buren homeowners, privacy is the primary reason for installing a new fence.
Chain link
Chain link remains one of the most practical fencing choices for residential, commercial, industrial, and rural applications.
Ornamental iron
Ornamental iron can provide a more open appearance while creating a defined boundary.
Modern Fence provides both ornamental fence installation and custom metal fabrication.
Agricultural & ranch
Van Buren's surrounding area includes larger properties where residential backyard fencing is not the right solution.
Modern Fence works with qualifying farms, ranches, acreage, and rural properties.
Not every damaged fence needs replacing
A damaged or aging fence does not automatically require complete replacement.
Modern Fence accepts qualifying repair-only projects and smaller service calls.
We look at the condition of the existing system before recommending a repair.
If most of the fence remains serviceable, correcting a damaged portion may make sense.
When deterioration affects large portions of the fence, continued repairs may no longer be the most practical approach. In that situation, replacement can be discussed.
Working properties have working fences
Van Buren businesses and managed properties may have needs that extend far beyond a basic perimeter fence.
Commercial fencing may involve chain link, ornamental metal, gates, repairs, and other project-specific systems.
We can also work from plans and specifications for qualifying projects.
When construction is still underway, coordination with the general contractor, builder, developer, or property manager may be necessary before final fence or gate dimensions are established.
Commercial and industrial gates
Commercial gates need to match the way the property operates.
A small employee entrance may require a different gate from an opening regularly used by delivery trucks, trailers, or industrial equipment.
Modern Fence fabricates gates in-house for qualifying residential, commercial, and industrial projects.
Gate configurations may include swing, slide, cantilever, walk gates, and custom-sized systems.
Fabrication can account for the opening, grade, surrounding fence, and intended use.
When automatic operation is planned, the physical gate should also be suitable for the operator and access equipment.
Convenient entrances, planned properly
Automatic gates can provide convenient controlled operation at residential and commercial entrances.
Operator choice depends on the gate type, site conditions, and intended use.
Before automating an existing gate, we also consider the physical gate itself.
A gate that drags, binds, or no longer moves correctly may need mechanical work before adding or replacing automatic equipment.
For new projects, coordinating the gate and automation from the beginning can avoid trying to adapt equipment to a gate that was never designed around automatic operation.
The gate moves. Access control decides who
An automatic gate still needs a way for authorized users to request entry.
Modern Fence provides access control systems for qualifying vehicle and pedestrian entrances.
Different properties need different levels of access management.
A residential driveway may have only a few regular users.
An apartment community may need to manage residents, visitors, maintenance personnel, and vendors.
A commercial property may have employees, contractors, delivery drivers, and service providers entering through the same general area.
The system should fit those actual users rather than adding technology that does not solve a specific access problem.
Gates built around the actual opening
A standard gate does not fit every entrance.
Modern Fence fabricates gates in-house, allowing us to build qualifying gates around the actual property.
Slope deserves attention.
A gate that appears correct on paper may not operate correctly if grade changes were not considered.
We measure and evaluate the opening before fabrication so the gate can be planned around the site.
Custom metal fabrication
Our work extends beyond fencing and gates.
Through custom metal fabrication, Modern Fence provides qualifying steel, aluminum, and stainless steel fabrication.
We work with homeowners as well as commercial property owners, builders, developers, and general contractors.
Projects tied to an existing building or structure may require field measurements before fabrication begins.
Two projects a few miles apart can install very differently
Fence installation throughout Western Arkansas can involve several conditions that affect the project.
Rock and Soil
Mountain rock and expansive clay occur throughout parts of the region.
Ground conditions can affect excavation and post installation.
Drainage
Drainage problems are common enough that water movement should be considered when planning a new fence or gate.
The existing property conditions matter more than simply following a line on a drawing.
Sloped Properties
Changing elevation can affect both fencing and gates.
Fence sections may need to follow grade changes, while gates require additional attention because they have to move through the opening.
Weather
Rain, wind, snow, ice, and freezing conditions can affect exterior construction and scheduling at different times of year.
Materials and special fabrication can also influence project timing.
Coordinated with the wider project
Modern Fence also works with qualifying builders, developers, and general contractors.
New construction may involve residential fencing, commercial perimeter fencing, gates, automatic entrances, access control, and fabricated metal components.
Plans and specifications can provide the starting point for the project.
However, final field conditions can still matter.
Masonry columns, concrete, finished grade, landscaping, and other construction may affect final gate or railing dimensions.
For custom fabrication, dimensions may need to be verified after the surrounding work reaches the appropriate stage.
Requirements depend on the property
Some Van Buren-area projects may be affected by HOA requirements, development restrictions, permits, or other property-specific approvals.
Requirements can vary depending on location and project type.
Customers should identify applicable restrictions before work begins.
For an HOA property, approval may address details such as fence height, style, material, location, or appearance.
We avoid assuming the same requirements apply to every Van Buren project.
One company for the fence, the gate and the entrance
Modern Fence has been serving the region since 1950.
Our capabilities include residential fencing, commercial and industrial fencing, repairs, gate fabrication, automatic gates, access control, maintenance, and custom metal fabrication.
That range is valuable when a project involves several connected needs.
A homeowner may want a privacy fence and a custom driveway gate.
A commercial property may need perimeter fencing, a vehicle gate, and access control.
A general contractor may need fencing plus fabricated metal components.
We can evaluate those pieces together and plan the project around the property.
