Fence Company in Point Blank, TX

Point Blank sits on the west shore of Lake Livingston in San Jacinto County, where US-190 comes off the long bridge from Onalaska and SH-156 turns south toward Coldspring. It is one of the closest towns to our shop and one we are in constantly. The properties are lake lots and lake subdivisions along the shore, homes and small acreages along the highways, and pasture and timber behind them, and the fence work follows the same pattern: waterfront fence that keeps the view, residential privacy and chain link, and ranch fence on the land off the lake.

Waterfront lots

Point Blank's shoreline lots slope to the water and sit on sand and soft fill. The fences that work here are the ones that keep the view and do not rust: black vinyl-coated chain link, aluminum, ornamental steel, and cedar split rail with wire behind it for the dog. Posts near the water go deeper into bigger footings, and we check the shoreline easement and any subdivision rules before we dig. Lakefront fencing covers the details.

Homes along the highways

Houses along US-190 and SH-156 and in the subdivisions off them take privacy fence along the sides and the road, chain link for dog yards, and a walk gate or two. A lot of the places here are weekend homes, and owners want fence that does not need checking on between visits; that pushes the choice toward coated metal and toward a stain schedule on wood.

Pasture and timber off the lake

Behind the shoreline, San Jacinto County is cattle pasture and pine. We build barbed wire, field fence, cattle panels and corrals here, with tube gates at the road and openers on the long drives. Feral hogs are a real problem on this side of the lake, and hog panel around a garden or a yard is a common call.

Storm repairs

Weather crosses the lake and hits the west shore first. After a blow we are rehanging gates, resetting posts and re-stretching wire up and down SH-156, mostly on fences other people built. See fence repair and insurance claim repair.

Nearby

West on US-190 toward Huntsville are Oakhurst and Dodge, which we cover together with Point Blank on one regional page. South on SH-156 is Coldspring.

Before we come out

On a Point Blank lake lot we will want to know where the pins are, how the lot slopes toward the water, whether the subdivision has fence rules, and what you want to see from the porch. On acreage off the highway, the questions are the animals, the gates and the old fence row. Either way, flag the corners if you can; it shortens the visit.

Weekend homes and work between visits

A lot of Point Blank properties are second homes, and the owner is not always there when the work happens. We are used to that: a walk-through on the estimate, photos as the job goes, and a final walk-through when you are next at the lake. Coated metal and a stain schedule are the choices that let a fence look after itself between visits.

Frequently asked questions

How close is Point Blank to your shop?

Just across the US-190 bridge from Onalaska. Point Blank is a core service town and one of the closest to us.

What fence holds up best on the west shore?

Black vinyl-coated chain link and aluminum, because they shrug off the humidity and disappear against the water; cedar split rail with wire where the owner wants the country look. Posts go deeper in the shoreline sand.

Do you fence pasture around Point Blank too?

Yes. Off the lake the land is pasture and timber, and we build barbed wire, field fence, panels and corrals there like anywhere else in San Jacinto County.
