Why This Tulsa Home Needed a Wood Privacy Fence
In the heart of midtown Tulsa, a homeowner reached out to RADIUS Gate & Fence Company with a common concern — a lack of privacy and clear property boundary in their narrow side yard. With homes closely spaced and pets occasionally roaming over, they were seeking a secure and visually pleasing fence solution to preserve their home’s peace and comfort.
Project Overview: Custom Fence Installation in Tulsa, OK
This particular installation took place between two single-story homes where the side yard was just wide enough to walk through comfortably. We installed a high-quality cedar wood privacy fence with tight vertical slats and minimal gaps to create a seamless visual barrier. The customer specifically chose cedar for its natural resistance to rot and insects—perfect for Oklahoma’s humid summers and storm-heavy seasons.
On-Site Challenges and Solutions
The narrow layout presented some logistical challenges during post placement and material transport. We used compact augers and hand tools to work efficiently in tight quarters. Precision was critical—we dug and set posts at uniform intervals, mindful of underground lines (flagged beforehand, as shown in the image) and root structures from mature trees overhead.
The sound of augers biting into the red Oklahoma clay, mixed with the scent of freshly cut cedar, filled the air as we measured twice and cut once. Every panel was custom-fit on-site to accommodate minor grade changes and tight clearance near the house and gate.
Material Details and Hardware Used
- Material: Premium cedar pickets, pressure-treated pine posts
- Fasteners: Exterior-grade, ring-shanked galvanized nails
- Top Cap: Decorative trim board for style and structural reinforcement
- Gate: Reinforced wooden frame with steel hardware for swing durability
