What We Offer

Transform your Sunnyvale backyard into a private oasis with a professionally installed cedar privacy fence. We specialize in board-on-board, side-by-side, and cap-and-trim designs that provide complete visual privacy while enhancing your property's aesthetic appeal. Our fences feature premium Western Red Cedar posts, rails, and pickets — the gold standard for outdoor lumber in Texas — set in concrete footings that withstand the shifting clay soils common throughout Sunnyvale.
For Sunnyvale homeowners wanting elegance with security, our ornamental iron fences combine powder-coated steel durability with classic beauty. Perfect for front yards where you want to showcase your home while defining property boundaries, pool enclosures that meet Texas safety codes, and estate properties that demand a prestigious appearance.
When storms hit Sunnyvale, fences take a beating. We provide rapid-response fence repair services — from single broken boards and leaning posts to entire sections flattened by high winds. We carry common repair materials on our trucks for same-day fixes and provide insurance documentation for covered claims.
Extend your cedar fence's life by 50-100% with professional staining. Our commercial airless sprayers deliver even, deep-penetrating coverage with premium UV-resistant stains. We thoroughly clean and prep the surface before application for maximum adhesion and protection against Sunnyvale's intense sun and rain.
We build custom gates to fit any opening — pedestrian side gates, double-swing driveway gates, and sliding gates with optional automatic openers. Every gate features anti-sag construction and commercial-grade hardware for smooth, reliable operation year after year.
Sunnyvale businesses trust us for commercial fencing projects including security perimeter fencing, decorative iron, chain link with privacy slats, dumpster enclosures, and automated gate entry systems with access control.
The Forney Fence Difference

Our fence builders are not day laborers or temp workers — they are experienced carpenters and welders who take genuine pride in building fences that are straight, level, and built to last. We use only premium Western Red Cedar from reputable mills, not the warped, knotty boards you find stacked at big box stores. Every post is set in a properly sized concrete footing, every rail is secured with galvanized hardware, and every picket is inspected for quality before it goes on your Sunnyvale fence. Our Forney crew is just a short drive from Sunnyvale, meaning faster response times and local accountability. We carry full liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage, protecting you completely. And we stand behind every fence with a comprehensive workmanship warranty — if something is not right, we make it right.

Local Knowledge
Situated in Dallas County, Sunnyvale is a small rural community east of Dallas with large lots, estate-style homes, and a pastoral atmosphere. With zip codes spanning 75182 and neighborhoods including Sunnyvale Town Center, Long Creek, Collins Road area, the city offers a diverse mix of residential properties with varying fencing needs. Many Sunnyvale homes have fences that were built during original construction by the lowest-bid contractor, using inferior materials and shortcuts that lead to premature failure. The most common fence problems we see in Sunnyvale are leaning posts (due to shallow concrete footings in clay soil), warped and split pickets (from using pine instead of cedar), and sagging gates (from undersized gate posts and cheap hinges). These issues are preventable with proper materials and construction techniques — which is exactly what we provide. Sunnyvale's position in the DFW metroplex means it experiences all the weather extremes that challenge fences: blistering summer heat, driving thunderstorms, occasional hail, and winter freezes that cause the clay soil to heave and shift.
Expert Tips
Maintaining your fence in Sunnyvale's challenging North Texas climate requires a proactive approach. The single most important thing you can do for a cedar fence is keep it stained — professional staining every 2-3 years blocks UV damage, repels moisture, and prevents the premature graying and deterioration that ruins unprotected fences within a few years. After every major storm, walk your fence line and check for leaning posts, loose boards, and damaged pickets. Addressing small repairs promptly prevents them from escalating into expensive problems — a single leaning post left unrepaired will eventually pull adjacent posts out of alignment, potentially toppling an entire section. Keep soil, mulch, and vegetation from piling up against the bottom of your fence, as constant moisture contact accelerates rot at the base of pickets and posts. Trim tree branches that overhang your fence to reduce the risk of storm damage and prevent leaves from collecting against the wood. If you have sprinklers, make sure they are not regularly spraying your fence — constant water exposure is one of the fastest ways to deteriorate cedar. For iron fences, inspect annually for any chips or scratches in the powder coating and touch up with matching spray paint to prevent rust formation. These simple maintenance steps can add 5-10 years to your Sunnyvale fence's lifespan.
