Red Desert Fence & Gate — Fencing and Gate Installation in St. George, Utah

Red Desert Fence & Gate is a professional fencing contractor serving St. George, Utah, and the surrounding communities of Washington County, specializing in the installation, repair, and replacement of vinyl fencing, ornamental iron gates, privacy fences, pool enclosures, and the wide range of fencing solutions that Southern Utah homeowners, businesses, and property managers rely on for security, privacy, aesthetics, and code compliance. Fencing in Southern Utah faces unique environmental challenges — the intense desert sun that degrades many materials, the wind events that test structural integrity, the alkaline soil chemistry that accelerates corrosion, and the extreme temperature swings that cause expansion and contraction stress on fence components. Red Desert Fence & Gate brings years of local experience to every installation, selecting materials, hardware, and construction methods proven to withstand the specific conditions that characterize the Southern Utah environment.

Vinyl Fencing Installation

Vinyl fencing has become the dominant fencing material in Southern Utah for good reason — it withstands UV exposure without fading, requires minimal maintenance in the dusty desert environment, resists the corrosion that attacks metal fences in alkaline soil, and provides the clean, uniform appearance that homeowners associations and community standards typically require. Red Desert Fence & Gate installs vinyl fencing from leading manufacturers in a range of styles including privacy fencing, semi-privacy fencing with lattice tops, picket fencing, and ranch rail fencing for larger properties. The installation process begins with a detailed property survey and utility marking to identify underground lines, followed by post hole augering to the depth required by local soil conditions, concrete post setting, and the precise panel installation that produces straight, level fence lines that enhance property appearance and value. The company's vinyl fencing carries manufacturer warranties against defect, and the installation workmanship is guaranteed to ensure that posts remain plumb, panels stay secure, and gates operate smoothly for years after installation.

Ornamental Iron and Custom Gates

For properties where vinyl fencing does not match the architectural style or the owner's aesthetic vision, Red Desert Fence & Gate designs and installs ornamental iron fencing and custom gates that combine security and boundary definition with the visual elegance that wrought iron provides. Ornamental iron is particularly popular for front yard fencing, courtyard enclosures, and the decorative gates that serve as focal points of a property's curb appeal. The company offers both standard iron fencing profiles and custom designs that incorporate architectural details, decorative scrollwork, and the distinctive elements that make a gate or fence section a unique expression of the property owner's style. All iron installations receive protective coating and finishing treatments that resist the corrosion challenges of the Southern Utah environment, maintaining their appearance and structural integrity for decades with minimal maintenance. Automated gate systems with remote controls, keypads, and intercom integration provide the convenience and security features that many property owners require.

Pool Fencing and Code Compliance

Swimming pool fencing in Washington County must meet specific building code requirements designed to prevent unsupervised child access to pool areas — requirements that include minimum fence height, maximum gap dimensions between fence components, self-closing and self-latching gate mechanisms, and the absence of climbable features that could allow a child to scale the fence. Red Desert Fence & Gate maintains current knowledge of local pool fencing codes and installs pool enclosures that meet or exceed these requirements, protecting homeowners from code violations while providing the safety barrier that every pool owner has a moral and legal obligation to maintain. Pool fence installations are coordinated with pool construction timelines when possible, and retrofit installations for existing pools are handled with minimal disruption to established landscaping and hardscaping. The company offers both mesh pool safety fencing — a removable option that provides code-compliant protection while allowing the fence to be temporarily removed when the pool is under adult supervision — and permanent vinyl or iron pool fencing that provides a more finished architectural appearance.

Fence Repair and Replacement

Southern Utah's weather events — particularly the wind storms that periodically sweep through the valley — take a toll on existing fencing, causing damage that ranges from loose panels and leaning posts to complete sections blown down by high winds. Red Desert Fence & Gate provides prompt fence repair services that restore damaged fencing to full function and appearance, using matching materials when repairing existing fences and recommending replacement when repair costs approach or exceed the cost of new installation. The company inspects the full fence line during any repair visit, identifying developing problems — loose posts, cracked panels, failing hardware — that can be addressed proactively before they progress to the point of failure. For older fences that have reached the end of their service life, the company provides removal and replacement services that include disposal of old materials, preparation of the fence line for new installation, and the fresh installation that gives the property an immediate visual upgrade.
