When you’re looking for unbeatable craftsmanship, reliability, and lasting value in fencing and metalwork, Fred’s Fencing Inc. is the name San Diego trusts. Serving the region since 1984, this family-owned business has over 40 years of experience delivering quality solutions for residential, commercial, and industrial fencing and gates. From classic wood privacy fences to ornate wrought iron gates, Fred’s Fencing remains committed to excellence at every step.



Built on Tradition, Reinforced by Innovation



Fred’s Fencing isn’t just about putting up barriers—it’s about combining design, function, and durability. Over the decades, they’ve perfected a process that balances the beauty of architectural design with rigor in material selection and installation. High-grade woods, durable metals, weather-resistant vinyl, and strong structural welds are part of what makes their work last. Their workshop craftsmanship ensures that gates swing true, fences stay upright, and installations withstand San Diego’s unique coastal climate: sun, wind, salt air, and occasional storms.



Wide Range of Fencing & Gate Options



No two properties are the same. Fred’s Fencing understands this and provides a broad menu of fencing styles to match both aesthetic and functional needs. Here are some of the types they specialize in:



Wood Fencing & Gates — for privacy and classic appeal, perfect for residential backyards.



Vinyl Privacy Fencing — low-maintenance, clean lines, durable against the elements.



Iron Fencing & Ornamental Ironwork — elegant and strong, for homeowners who want beauty and security.



Chain Link & Commercial Fencing — cost-effective solutions for business perimeters, industrial lots, or areas where durability is more important than decoration.



Custom Gates & Automated Gate Systems — driveway sliding gates, pedestrian gates, or automatic driveway gate systems that combine safety with convenience.



They also do railings (stairs, decks, balconies), iron window and door bars, and miscellaneous decorative iron work. Whatever your project, Fred’s Fencing has the skills and materials to bring your vision to life.



Why San Diego Homeowners Choose Fred’s Fencing



There are many reasons why so many people in the area choose Fred’s:



Decades of Local Expertise

Because they’ve been in business since 1984, Fred’s Fencing knows San Diego—its climate, building codes, HOA rules, and what materials and designs hold up best in this environment.

Peace of mind is essential when contractors are working on your home. Fred’s guarantees their work is done with all necessary permits, proper insurance, and industry standards.

Transparent Quotes & Customer Satisfaction

Customers rave about Fred’s professionalism—on-time work, clear cost estimates, responsive service, and great finished products.



Practical Advice & Maintenance Tips



A fence or gate isn’t just a one-time investment — to protect that investment, regular maintenance is key. Here are a few tips:



Inspect annually for damage: watch for rust, rot, loose screws, or damaged hinges.



For wood fences, keep stain or paint fresh. Seal where needed to prevent water damage.



For metal works, look for rust spots; clean and re-paint or treat them.



If using automated gates, check the mechanical and electrical parts routinely—sensors, motors, tracks, etc.



Expansion into Automation & Battery‐Powered Components



One of the growing trends in gate design is automation. Fred’s Fencing offers gates fitted with automated systems—gate openers, sensors, moving parts. With automation come additional components like motors, remotes, sensors, and batteries. Ensuring these components run smoothly is critical. If your system uses battery backups, or if a part of it fails due to battery issues, an expert battery replacement service

becomes a necessity. Proper replacement and maintenance of batteries ensure safety (so gates don’t close unexpectedly), reliability (so gates open and close on demand), and longevity of your automation components.



Sample Projects You’ll Love



Fred’s Fencing maintains a portfolio of completed work to show just how beautifully and functionally fencing work can enhance home or business properties:



Custom driveway sliding gates that combine privacy, design elegance, and smooth automated opening.



Curved and ornate railings for stairs, balconies, and decks that add architectural character to both new and existing structures.



Privacy fences using vinyl or wood in neighborhoods where neighbors are close by, offering peace, quiet, and increased property value.



Serving All San Diego & Beyond



Fred’s Fencing is based in Santee, CA, but their service area covers San Diego County broadly—residential neighborhoods, commercial zones, coastal properties, inland areas. Cities like La Mesa, El Cajon, Oceanside, Carlsbad, Chula Vista (and others) are within their reach.



When you choose a local contractor, you benefit not only from shorter response times but from contractors who understand local weather, soil, legal and aesthetic norms. Fred’s Fencing delivers on that regional understanding.



Getting Started with Fred’s Fencing



If you’re considering a fencing project, here’s how to move forward:



Reach out for a free estimate. The team will assess your property, hear what you want (style, height, material), discuss any regulations (HOA, zoning), and offer design suggestions.



Choose your style & materials. Based on your budget, aesthetic preferences, maintenance expectations.



Review and approve the design & estimate. They’ll provide a clear, itemized quote so you know what you’re paying.



Schedule installation. Fred’s will manage permits, coordinate materials, install with care, and leave your property neat.



Maintain & repair as needed. Keep things in good shape with occasional inspections, touch-ups, and part replacements. Automation and electronic gates may need occasional battery or component servicing.
