It starts with solid posts and good concrete.

Posts are the number one reason that wood fences in Alaska fail, contrary to the belief that the wood rots first. Alaska soils are very susceptible to frost heave. Improper mixing of concrete or poor post-hole diggings will lead to weak posts that fail or heave after a season. Our experienced personnel digs posts and mixes concrete to a set standard. From quality materials to spacing to flat levels and proper grades, we want to provide a sturdy wood fence that also provides aesthetic quality.

Cedar/Sunwood Fences

Cedar fences are the most popular wood fence type for Alaska’s residential homes. There are hundreds of ways to customize a wood fence, such as different wood fence types, post caps, spacing, framing, and door constructions. There are many options when it comes to the type of wood fence and the overall design, but as far as structure is concerned, most wood fences fall into one of three categories: picket, privacy, or ranch.

Chain Link & Powder Coated Chain Link Fences

Chain link fences are normally the most economical to construct and are ideal for running through rough terrain. Chain link fences have metal posts that stick vertically from concrete foundations and support crisscross chain link sections. Posts can also be driven to a four foot depth or lower in order to make them easy for removal and reduce the cost of construction. Chain link fences vary greatly in height and, while alone they offer no privacy, vinyl slats can be positioned vertically through the chain links to lower visibility. There are also different colors that can be powder-coated onto the metal, like green or black, to reduce visibility of the chain link fence in wilderness areas. Chain link fences are quite durable and, depending on the height, can be very secure. Chain link fences are well known for their longevity in Alaska and can last well over 30 years.

Wrought Iron & Aluminum Ornamental Fence

Wrought iron and aluminum fences are usually built for their ornamental value. Aluminum fence functions as a more cost effective alternative to wrought iron in Alaska. Wrought iron and aluminum fences are structurally similar to the picket fence, except that the posts sit in a concrete foundation. While wrought iron and aluminum fences do not offer much in the way of privacy, they are extremely durable and easily maintained.

We do not recommend using vinyl fences in Alaska due to cool weather conditions and frost heaving that causes the products to break. Furthermore, these fences styles are re-made every few years and it is typically difficult to find a replacement to a broken section.

Electric Gates and Double Gates

Gates can be customized just as easily as the fence themselves. A fence without a gate means an area with no access. We provide custom gate solutions for all of our clientele and design them based off of your needs. During our free on site consultation, we will be sure to address the need of a gate for your project. Whether you want to push a lawn mower through or fit that big double wide camper, we can design a wood or metal gate solution that gives you easy access to the privacy your fence already provides. We typically design the gate to be of the same materials and overall design as the fence itself. See our gallery for a few examples of this custom quality that Titan provides.
