According to a 2021 study by the International Casual Furnishings Association, nearly 90% of Americans say that having an outdoor space to enjoy as part of their home is more important than ever. In fact, demand for outdoor living spaces has been on the rise for years, due largely to pandemic conditions and the stay-at-home movement. Often, these outdoor living spaces include privacy fences, which provide both home and business owners with protection, privacy, safety, and even noise cancelation.

Some of the infill options to choose from as part of your fence kit include:

Gone are the days of needing to screw and hammer hundreds of nails and screws to construct a long-lasting fence. With our fence kits, infill materials slide right into U-shaped rails, making installation a breeze and freeing up more of your time to serve other customers.

If your customer has specific requirements for their project, we also offer custom fence panels and gates, allowing you to meet their fence needs and exceed expectations with our quality fence supplies.
Having a fence without a gate is sort of like having a fast car with no doors. It looks great, but without the functionality of a door, it's a little difficult to enjoy. As a fencing contractor in the Dallas Metro area, you know that your job may start with a custom fence, and then evolve into a project that includes a gate and other features. If you're looking for a quality fence kit with gate, we've got you covered.
Our gate kits come with everything you need to build a fence gate that matches the style of your customer's property. The gate frame itself is made of modern-looking black metal and features a channel that can accommodate nearly any type of custom fence panels in Arlington, TX. We're talking infill materials like:
Whether you prefer a metal & wood gate, a metal & bamboo gate, a metal & vinyl gate, or any other type of gate design, our gate kits will work perfectly for you.
You may wonder, "Why can't I just build an ordinary wooden gate?" Traditional gates are certainly still popular, but if your customer is looking for the perfect mix of style and longevity, it's hard to beat a metal gate fence kit from Perimtec. That's especially true in Metro Dallas, TX, where weather conditions and other factors make metal gate fencing a smart choice.
Ordinary gates are problematic because they are typically mounted to walls or fences made entirely of wood or wood with a flimsy metal frame. Unfortunately, these gates don't last long, and it is common to see them sagging or rotting within 5-7 years of installation. This means that you may need to replace or repair the gate several times over.
Perimtec gate systems are different. With our heavy-duty aluminum construction, along with durable components, you can build a gate that stands the test of time. The bottom line? Our metal gate frames create a better gate that lasts longer than traditional wooden or metal-framed gates.
Fence contractors use our gate kits for many different projects and applications because they have the ability to attach a new gate directly to walls or masonry fences.
Our gates are a perfect match for concrete block walls, block fences, stone walls, slump block, CMU, stucco, and stone. Working on a wooden fence but need a metal gate? Our metal gate frame kits are made so that you can easily install them onto the wooden fence with which you're working.
Perimtec Pro Tip: If you're looking to attach a metal gate to an existing wooden fence, we recommend using metal posts to mount the gate, which provides a much sturdier foundation.
Fencing company owners use our metal gate kits to create:
Our gate kits have a robust aluminum frame design, making them perfect for low-cost double driveway swing gate construction. You can power them with an automatic gate opener or leave them manually operated for easy opening-the choice is yours.

Building a fence for the first time is no easy task. In fact, one of the most common fence-building mistakes stems from a lack of experience. However, even experienced fencing contractors can make mistakes or misremember best practices learned over time. Fortunately, a privacy fence kit in Arlington, TX from Perimtec TX is easy to assemble, making the job enjoyable for both pros and DIY first-timers. Whether you're a first-time fencing homeowner or a seasoned contractor, keep these tips in mind.
When installing a fence, you've got to be consistent and make sure that your post holes are deep enough. Rushing through the installation process and making the post holes too shallow can weaken the fence. Typically, you'll need to dig holes between 30 inches and 36 inches deep, depending on the type of fence. If the holes aren't deep enough, the fence may start to lean or even fall over completely. That's why it's so important to take your time and dig your post holes to the appropriate depth.
Whether you encounter this issue or not largely depends on your yard or the area where you're building a fence. One of the most difficult parts of building a fence by yourself is to consider the minor changes in elevation while placing the posts. To keep the fence line straight, you must figure out the difference in rise and fall for each section of your yard
Installing a fence on your neighbor's property can be a costly and frustrating mistake. Your neighbor has the legal right to ask you to remove the fence if it's on their land. To avoid such issues, we recommend confirming your property line before you start the installation process. You should also consider leaving a 12-inch barrier just to be safe. The goal here is to build a beautiful, useful fence, not to create more expenses for yourself.
You should know that not every type of fence is allowed in the Metro Dallas region. Before installing a fence, be sure that you adhere to any height limitations and boundary requirements. Depending on your location, some places may permit fencing on a property line, while others may require an offset. In addition to verifying your local zoning laws, you should also check with your local Homeowner's Association (HOA) as they may have strict guidelines on the types of fences (and sometimes the colors) you can build. If you're building a pool fence, it's essential to ensure that your fence complies with local and/or state safety codes.
When installing a gate, measuring the area accurately and accounting for any hardware deductions is important. Also, make sure to install sturdy hinge posts from which to hang the gate. You should also check the ground below the gate to ensure it is level. If the ground isn't level, make sure the far end of the gate is positioned high enough off the ground to allow movement. To make your life easier, consider a gate frame kit from Perimtec, which comes with everything you need to build a stylish yet functional fence gate.
At Perimtec, we're passionate about reimagining the fencing industry in Dallas, TX. Unlike traditional wood fencing, privacy fence kits and fence panels from Perimtec will last years with little to no maintenance. We're proud to offer tools and resources to help fencing professionals just like you grow in the fencing industry.

Early symptoms (first few days)
Later symptoms (after a few days)
Measles typically starts with cough, runny nose and red eyes and often leads to a rash and fever over 101°F. If you think you have measles, get medical care. Symptoms can become worse over time, complications can develop, and measles can be deadly if you don’t receive appropriate care.
If you have any of these symptoms, go to the emergency room immediately:
Have someone call the Emergency Department to let them know a person with measles is coming in so they can see you away from other patients.
People are contagious about four days before their rash starts to four days after it appears. If you might have measles, stay home during this time.

Voters approved these proposed charter amendments.
Proposition F: Amendment of Section 2 of Article IV of the City Charter, which would provide that runoff elections shall be held and conducted in accordance with state law, was approved with 85.51% of the vote, according to unofficial vote totals.
Proposition G: Amendment of Section 7 of Article IV of the City Charter, which would update the title of the City Health Officer to be Health Authority to align with state law, was approved with 79.29% of the vote, according to unofficial vote totals.
Proposition H: Amendment of Section 4 of Article V of the City Charter, which would provide that polling places for elections are those designated by the City Council and shown in the notice of election in accordance with state law, was approved with 83.31% of the vote, according to unofficial vote totals.
Proposition I: Amendment of Section 1 of Article VI of the City Charter, which would provide that the City Council shall meet at the dates and times approved by the City Council, was approved with 85.12% of the vote, according to unofficial vote totals. The City Charter currently provides that City Council meets every week unless the weekly meeting is canceled by the Council. This amendment would align with the current City Council meeting schedule, which is approximately twice a month.
Proposition J: Amendment of Section 2 of Article VI and Sections 1 and 4 of Article VII of the City Charter, which would provide for the annual election of a Deputy Mayor Pro Tempore each year to preside over meetings and to act in case of the failure, inability, or refusal of the Mayor and the Mayor Pro Tempore to act, was approved with 79.64% of the vote, according to unofficial vote totals. Previously, the City Charter only referred to the appointment of a Mayor Pro Tem and not a Deputy Mayor Pro Tem. This amendment would align with the City Council’s current practice of appointing both of these Council positions. The Mayor Pro Tem and Deputy Mayor Pro Tem act in the absence or inability of the Mayor.
Proposition K: Amendment of Section 1 of Article XIII of the City Charter, which would provide that the City may issue tax bonds, revenue bonds, funding and refunding bonds, economic development bonds, time warrants and other evidence of indebtedness for any purpose allowed by state law, was approved with 61.22% of the vote, according to unofficial vote totals. This amendment would give the City Council full power to issue debt in accordance with state law.
Proposition L: Amendment of Section 2 of Article XIII of the City Charter, which would provide that the City may issue time warrants as allowed by state law, was approved with 63.89% of the vote, according to unofficial vote totals. Time warrants are an infrequently used type of debt. This amendment would align the process for issuing time warrants, if the City chose to do so, with state law.

The University of Texas at Arlington has once again received national recognition for its dedication to military veterans and their families, earning a 2025-26 Military Friendly® School Gold Level ranking. UTA was also designated a Military Spouse Friendly® School, highlighting its commitment to supporting military-connected families.
With more than 5,000 military-connected students—including 3,000 military children or spouses—UTA provides resources and programs tailored to their unique needs.
“UTA is committed to helping veterans achieve their educational goals,” said Sawyer Howard, coordinator of UTA’s Office of Military and Veteran Services. “Consistently earning Gold Level status reaffirms our dedication to student success and strengthens UTA’s reputation as a top university for veterans.”
For Navy veteran John Shirley, who enrolled at UTA in August 2022, the University’s strong military community and support system has made a difference in his campus experience. He is set to become the first in his family to earn a bachelor’s degree in May.
“I like having other veterans around—it makes you feel like you're always on the same level,” Shirley said. “It helps deal with stress. We’re all students with different challenges, but having fellow veterans to talk to makes a difference.”
The Military Friendly® School rankings recognize universities that provide meaningful educational opportunities for the military community. Rankings are based on public and proprietary data from the annual Military Friendly® survey, developed with input from an independent advisory council of veteran education experts.
UTA supports military-connected students through initiatives like Veteran’s Edge, a peer-mentoring program launched in 2021 that helps new students transition to university life with guidance from senior-level military-connected peers.

Lucchese Bootmaker, the leader in Western lifestyle, opens their largest storefront in the Dallas Fort Worth area in Arlington, Texas, at Choctaw Stadium. This is the 29th brick-and-mortar location for the brand and the 21st in Texas. Lucchese celebrated this milestone with a Grand Opening event on April 11, 2025. The storefront is located across from Loews Hotel and Soy Cowboy, steps away from Texas Live and Globe Life Field.
“We are thrilled to expand Lucchese’s presence in DFW with our seventh storefront in the area,” says Angela Hahn, the brand’s Vice President of Retail Operations. “This new location represents not only our continued growth but also our investment in the City of Arlington and its vibrant community. Our retail spaces allow brand fans and newcomers alike to step foot into the Western lifestyle and experience our unmatched level of craftsmanship and enduring commitment to the community.”
Lucchese is proud to continue its investment in the city of Arlington through its partnership with the newly opened National Medal of Honor Museum as a member of the Museum’s Stars Circle. Lucchese’s story goes beyond craftsmanship—it’s about character. This partnership exemplifies one of the brand’s core philanthropic pillars: “Honoring those who serve.” It’s a longstanding commitment that began in 1883, when Lucchese made boots for the U.S. Cavalry, and continues today through the company’s ongoing support of military personnel, veterans, border patrol, and first responders.
“Supporting our nation’s Medal of Honor Recipients is important, impactful, and – through this new collaboration – done with the purpose and craftsmanship befitting the Medal,” said Chris Cassidy, National Medal of Honor Museum Foundation President and CEO. “With a storefront just down the road from the Museum, Lucchese is a great representative of our local community, and we are grateful for the support of this iconic Texas brand in our mission to preserve and share the stories of America’s heroes.”
The new Arlington store, located at 1901 Nolan Ryan Expressway, has 3,600 square feet of retail space and features an extensive selection of Lucchese’s handmade cowboy boots and casual footwear for men and women. With custom hat shaping and cleaning, a boot shining station, debossing for small leather goods, and a bespoke custom area for elevated, one-on-one appointments, this new location offers a refined retail experience for both locals and visitors alike. Being a lifestyle brand, Lucchese offers more of their craftsmanship beyond footwear, with a curated assortment of unique apparel, leather goods, accessories, and handbags available for purchase, all exclusively designed for Lucchese.
Lucchese is the newest addition to a number of tenants in Choctaw Stadium, which continues to thrive as a multi-use space years after the Texas Rangers moved across the street to Globe Life Field. Other storefronts in Choctaw include El Tiempo Cantina, Starbucks and Spark Coworking, in addition to about a dozen corporate tenants in the stadium’s office space.
