Sturdier framed fence construction built to hold up against Valley wind and heat, without sagging the way lighter builds can over time.
Licensed C-13 and General B fence contractor, insured, serving Fresno County and the surrounding Valley.
A framed fence is only as good as the rails holding it together. Lukus builds the frame first and checks it for square before a single picket goes on. Skipping that step is how a framed fence ends up no sturdier than a standard build, which defeats the entire purpose of paying extra for the upgrade in the first place.
For a design that also eliminates every gap, board on board picket style can be built on top of a framed structure. 559Fences serves Fresno, Clovis, Madera, Sanger, Kingsburg, Kerman, Reedley, Friant, Coarsegold, and Oakhurst, and framed builds are common on the longer fence runs found in that wider service area.
A framed wood fence uses a full rail structure between posts before pickets are attached, giving it more resistance to wind and sag than a standard build. That extra structure is what separates a fence that stays straight for a decade from one that starts leaning after a few rough windstorms.
Horizontal rails run between every post, creating a rigid frame. Pickets attach to the frame rather than directly to posts. This structure resists sagging better over time than lighter builds, especially on fence runs longer than a typical backyard span.
Wind events can stress lighter fence builds over time. A framed structure spreads that stress across the rail system instead of individual pickets. Framed construction also holds up better under the weight of taller privacy fencing, where more surface area catches more wind.
Framed fencing tends to make the most sense on longer fence runs, like boundary lines on larger lots near Friant or Coarsegold, where a lighter build might sag over a long span. On a standard backyard-sized job, either framed or standard construction can work, depending on budget and how long the fence needs to last. The longer the run, the more the added rail support tends to pay off.
Framed fence installs are backed by the 5-year structural warranty. Pickets carry a 30-day warranty against warping or cracking, the same as any other wood fence style we build across the service area.
A framed fence trades a small amount of extra cost for a noticeable gain in structural strength. That trade-off tends to pay off on longer fence runs or taller privacy fences, where a standard build is more likely to sag or shift over time. For property owners planning to keep a fence in place for years without replacing it, framed construction is often the more durable choice. On a short, sheltered backyard run, the extra strength matters less, which is why Lukus walks each property before recommending it.

A framed fence has a full rail structure between posts before pickets attach, adding structural strength.
Often yes for longer runs or taller privacy fencing, where a standard build is more likely to sag or shift over time as the wood ages.
The rail structure spreads wind stress more evenly than lighter builds.
Yes. Framed construction and board on board picket style can be combined.
Cash, check, card, and financing. Financing is worth asking about when the frame upgrade pushes the total higher.
On the same terms as any new build: 5 years structural and 30 days on new pickets. Framed construction does not change the coverage.
