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.

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 Grand Prairie, 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.

On Wednesday night at Texas Trust CU Theatre in Grand Prairie, an ecstatic full house of fans became entranced by world-music-via Houston band Khruangbin.
"Khruangbin" is Thai for airplane, and kicking off the first night of their U.S. tour, the band took the crowd on a blissful journey. The power trio comprises Laura Lee Ochoa on bass/vocals, Mark Speer on guitar and vocals and Donald "DJ" Johnson on drums, backing vocals and keyboard. The vocals are spare; the band is largely instrumental, entirely a vibe.
Although they formed in 2010, the group is starting to permeate the mainstream. Last year, they were nominated for a Best New Artist Grammy. It's no surprise it would happen eventually: The band, known for its unparalleled style, builds momentum with every new release and every performance.
Andrew Sherman
Their sound is enigmatic, ranging from an ethereal daydream to downright groovy, taking influences from Thai pop and funk morphed with dub, soul, surf rock, R&B, rock and psych. Guitarist Speer has been referred to as a "music encyclopedia," and he's spoken about first becoming obsessed with a CD-ROM with music samples of the world. Ochoa was a guitarist and piano player, and Speer helped her transition to bass before they both toured with Yppah. This was the inspiration for the two to form their own band.
The band members' legend is that they came together in a barn to create the sound that is now Khruangbin. Speer and Johnson had played in a church band together and he was added to the final lineup in the past few years.
Andrew Sherman
Theirs is a band that seems to pop up everywhere once you become aware of them. Some fans discovered them while tuning into their favorite TV show — including this past season of White Lotus, which featured their music heavily this season. They've also had songs appear on Outer Banks, The Black List and Barry, to name a few. Their sound is a natural fit for creative visual mediums such as Mike White's exotic White Lotus universe, as the music presents a creative bed to enhance many scenes and moments. But, mostly, fans have discovered them by word of mouth, and they've become a fan favorite at festivals who play that circuit regularly.
Andrew Sherman
Helado Negro opened on Wednesday, and it was an absolute delight. His charm permeated the room as he sang and danced. It was a beautifully expressed set of joy.
The main attraction, Khruangbin, played the show in two sets; the first was the 2024 release A La Sala in its entirety. After a short reset, the band came back and played the crowd favorites. This is not a jam band, but make no mistake, they fucking jam. The songs had extended solo sections and felt much more stretched out live. The track "HOLD ME UP (THANK YOU)" was extended by solos traded back and forth. Ochoa really shined on this one.
Andrew Sherman
The last song of the first set (and also of A La Sala) was "Les Petits Gris." The stage was black but backlit. Speer and Ochoa sat peacefully in the front center of the stage with Johnson gently tickling the piano. The sound, feel and look of a thunderstorm slowly built in the background and grew into a full-blown storm that resonated onstage, ending the set. After that and a very quick stage re-set, it was onto the better-known servings from their catalog.
One might expect that seeing a mostly instrumental band live might be less visually stimulating, but nothing could be further from the truth. There was something both methodical and random about the way the band moved around the stage and interacted with each other. Some songs did feature vocals, and for those songs, the band seemed to have lightly choreographed the movements and placements of the mic stands.
At other moments, Speer and Ochoa spun around in place or strolled past each other, sharing a knowing and loving look. There was a lot of open space on stage, and they used it all, wandering back and forth but with purpose. They maintained a good stage balance throughout, stopping intermittently to pose stoically, always looking weird and super cool. It all fit perfectly.
Andrew Sherman
Drummer Johnson wears sunglasses and mostly just looks like a badass. Ochoa was smiling for much of the show and seemed visibly charged from interacting with people in the crowd. She also had a cute dip move she mixed in with the flow of the song. Speer had slightly less bop in his step, but he covered a lot of ground. They crisscrossed so much that it might be a cool art project to 3D-map their movements on the stage.
The big takeaway from Wednesday night was that Khruangbin is a total vibe, and that vibe is gaining traction. Jump on the plane now while you still can.

Internet service providers are numerous and regional. Unlike the latest smartphone, laptop, router or kitchen tool, it’s impractical to personally test every ISP in a given city. What’s our approach? We start by researching the pricing, availability and speed information, drawing on our own historical ISP data, the provider sites and mapping information from FCC.gov.
It doesn’t end there: We go to the FCC’s website to check our data and ensure we consider every ISP that provides service in an area. We also input local addresses on provider websites to find specific options for residents. We look at sources, including the American Customer Satisfaction Index and J.D. Power, to evaluate how happy customers are with an ISP’s service. ISP plans and prices are subject to frequent changes; all information provided is accurate as of publication.
Once we have this localized information, we ask three main questions:
While the answers to those questions are often layered and complex, the providers that come closest to “yes” on all three are the ones we recommend. When selecting the cheapest internet service, we look for the plans with the lowest monthly fee, although we also factor in things like price increases, equipment fees and contracts. Choosing the fastest internet service is relatively straightforward. We look at advertised upload and download speeds and also consider real-world speed data from sources like Ookla and FCC reports. (Ookla is owned by the same parent company as CNET, Ziff Davis.)
