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.

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 McKinney, TX. We're talking infill materials like:

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 McKinney, 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.

MCKINNEY, Texas — Voters in fast-growing McKinney in Collin County decided on the city’s next mayor and three of the city’s seven new city council members Saturday.
Four candidates sought to succeed McKinney Mayor George Fuller, who was first elected as the city’s mayor in 2017, then re-elected in 2021. Eye surgeon Matt Rostami, attorney Taylor Willingham, former city council member Bill Cox, who works in commercial real estate, and church pastor and former state representative Scott Sanford sought the mayor seat.
Unofficial results showed Cox with a slight lead with 47%, but below the 50% threshold needed to avoid a runoff. Sanford received 41% in early vote results.
Five candidates sought the at-large city council seat (chosen by voters across the whole city rather than from designated districts), replacing incumbent Charlie Philips, who is term-limited. Art educator Brian Magnuson, nonprofit founder Derrick Tarver, Ernest Lynch, former CEO of Medical City McKinney, psychiatrist Dr. Taha Ansari, and business owner Jim Garrison vied for the seat.
Unofficial results showed Lynch leading there with 29% of the vote, followed by Garrison with 20% -- also below the 50% threshold needed to avoid a runoff.
For the McKinney City Council Place 3 seat, incumbent and current McKinney Mayor Pro Tem Gere Feltus, who works as a physician and was elected to the seat in 2021, faced a challenge from Tammy Warren, who works as an executive assistant at Emerson and served on McKinney’s 2024 bond and charter review committees.
Unofficial results showed Feltus leading Warren with 54% of the vote.
Incumbent Justin Beller, a banker, ran unopposed in McKinney City Council District 1.

The proposed McKinney Texas Temple got a new name Monday, the eve of a vote by the Fairview Town Council on whether to approve an application for a permit submitted by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
The First Presidency announced Monday afternoon that the temple will be renamed the Fairview Texas Temple.
The town council will hold a special meeting on Tuesday night at 7 p.m. CDT and is expected to vote on the church’s application for a conditional use permit.

Texas planning commission OKs Latter-day Saint temple, but only if spire shrinks and lights turn off
President Russell M. Nelson announced plans for a temple in Prosper, Texas, in October 2022. The church announced in December 2023 that the location would be adjacent to the Latter-day Saint meetinghouse at 651 E. Stacy Road in Fairview.
The Fairview Planning and Zoning Commission voted 7-0 on Thursday to approve the conditional use permit, but the commissioners attached several conditions.
One was that the temple be renamed for Fairview.
“You would never hear McDonald’s call themselves Sonic. That’s just not OK,” commission member Lakia Works said.
The commission also said it would require the church to:

The church has not said whether it will accept the planning commission’s conditions. The town council is not required to accept the commission’s recommendations.
The church and the town have been negotiating for a year over the temple’s size and lighting. A potential name change also was batted around during prior meetings.
The church originally submitted plans for a two-story temple with four instruction rooms, a steeple of nearly 174 feet and 45,375 square feet of space. The planning commission and town council rejected that plan.
Town leaders and church officials reached a settlement in November during mediation. The church submitted a new application last month for a one-story temple with two instruction rooms, a steeple of 120 feet and 30,742 square feet.
The steeple ranges from 5.5 inches at its base to 3.5 inches at the top and would act both as a symbol of reaching toward heaven and as a lightning rod.

A master planned development that will add thousands of new homes, apartments and commercial space is making its way through the city of McKinney.
On Tuesday, McKinney’s City Council will vote on plans to rezone a 786-acre property on the city’s northwest side, immediately east of Prosper.
A successful bid to rezone the property will bring the developer, Dallas-based Billingsley Co., closer to beginning construction on the development, called Huntington Park.
Plans show 375 acres earmarked for single-family homes, 92 acres for apartments, 175 acres for commercial development, and the rest of the property for open spaces, floodplain and new roads.

When the plans cleared the McKinney Planning and Zoning Commission in April, Billingsley Company partner Lucy Billingsley said the property would generate $2 billion in value.
She said the taxes for the city of McKinney at full buildout would be $9 million yearly, with the full tax value projected to be around $41 million yearly.
The developer plans to put 40-, 50- and 60-foot-wide home lots on the parcels zoned for single-family uses.
The community will also include around 20 acres of brownstone-style townhome apartments, and another estimated 70 acres for traditional apartments.
Pickleball courts as well as other amenities, including retail developments, are also planned for Huntington Park.
“If we build the amenities, the corporations will come, and the residents will come,” Billingsley told the commission in April.
She noted demand for housing in the area was self-evident. The developer has owned the property since at least 2008, according to Collin County records.
It noted it was waiting for the right moment to begin development.
“We believe the single-family market is going to be very strong. It’s proven — we’re almost going to be infill,” she said.
Multifamily site plans at Huntington Park cannot be submitted until certain regulatory triggers are met, including the completion and operation of 12 acres of commercial development near Stonebridge Drive and Bloomdale Road.
Additionally, either the portion of the U.S. 380 bypass construction running through the development must already be under construction, or 100 acres of single-family homes must be underway in the area before multifamily development can begin.
The company noted the bypass cutting through its property was an impetus behind the bid to rezone for higher density and commercial uses.
Waiting for the regulatory triggers will also help ensure infrastructure is ready before multifamily development can begin, and that commercial activity will help drive demand in the area.
“For us, as a business, the most important amenity we can give anyone is retail, because office wants to be next to it, residential wants to be next to it. So, it’s retail and parks,” Billingsley said. “But the place that is most significant for us in the end is office.”

In a 5-1 vote last week, the McKinney City Council approved a new ordinance: Drive-thrus and speaker boxes must now be at least 200 feet from single-family homes or residential zones.
This is a big jump from the previous requirement of only 20 feet. There can be exceptions, but this would require a special permit.
Rodney McDaniel has lived in the historic Wilcox neighborhood in McKinney since the mid 70s, and said over the years, it's changed a lot.
"Through time, they've torn a lot of these houses down and then they sat on it until the time was right," he said.
Now, a fast-food restaurant sits across from his house and the drive-thru backs up to his neighbor's property.
"She is right at it," he said.
It doesn't bother him, but other neighbors said there have been some complaints about the noise coming from the speaker box.
In total, 15 restaurants across the city are listed as "impacted locations."
The impacted businesses can stay open as long as they don't stop operating for more than 12 months. If they want to expand, they'll need city approval.

A third measles case has been reported in Collin County, health officials announced on Tuesday.
The person who tested positive spent time around McKinney from May 19-22, officials said.
Collin County Health Care Services didn't say how old the patient is or where they live.
CCHCS said if anyone was at the locations on the specified times and dates, they should monitor themselves for measles symptoms through June 12 and talk to their healthcare provider.
As of May 27, 729 measles cases have been confirmed in Texas since the outbreak was first reported in January, according to Texas Health and Human Services. Of those patients, 94 have been hospitalized over the course of the outbreak.
The first reported measles case in Collin County was in April.
While most people's symptoms improve, about 1 in 5 unvaccinated people who get measles will be hospitalized. About 1 out of every 1,000 children with measles will develop brain swelling that can lead to brain damage, and up to 3 of every 1,000 children who become infected will die, the CDC says.
Symptoms of measles include:
