Choosing a fence that holds up to Lubbock wind

Wind is the first thing to plan around here. The Weather Channel ranked Lubbock the third-windiest U.S. city of 100,000 or more, with an average wind speed of 12.4 mph, and April is the windiest month (as reported by KFYO). The table compares the four fence types most people ask about, with national installed prices from cost guides checked in October 2026.

Fence type	Best for	How it handles wind	National price, installed	Read more
Wood privacy (cedar pickets, steel posts)	Backyard privacy, pets	Solid boards catch the full force of a gust, so post strength matters most	About $25 to $50 per foot for a 6-ft privacy fence (HomeAdvisor)	Wood and cedar fences
Ornamental iron or steel	Front yards, pools, curb appeal	Open pickets let wind pass through	About $50 to $85 per foot, 4 to 6 ft tall (HomeGuide)	Wrought iron fences
Chain link	Dogs, budget perimeters, side yards	Open mesh; very little wind load unless slats are added	Most homeowners pay about $10 to $20 per foot (HomeAdvisor)	Chain link fences
Pipe and cable	Acreage, horses, rural frontage	Open design; welded steel pipe	About $20 to $30+ per foot (HomeGuide)	Pipe fences

These are national ranges, not quotes from a Lubbock company. The Lubbock fence cost guide works them out for 100, 200 and 300 feet of fence.

Fixing a fence after a South Plains storm

Storms here can push a fence over in minutes. The National Weather Service clocked Lubbock's record gust at 90 mph in May 1952. During the June 2019 haboob, outflow winds gusted from 45 to over 60 mph across the South Plains. When a supercell crossed the city on June 5, 2025, Texas Tech's National Wind Institute reported downed fences, power outages and broken windows within Lubbock.

Common damage after a blow:

Posts leaning or snapped at ground level. Wood posts that have rotted where they meet the soil usually go first.
Whole panels laid flat, often with the posts still standing and the rails torn loose.
Pickets popped off, loose rails and a gate that no longer latches.
Hail-split pickets and dented post caps.

HomeAdvisor puts most fence repairs at $304 to $948, about $619 on average (checked October 2026). When a long run is down and the posts are wood, ask the company to price a repair and a rebuild on steel posts side by side. The fence repair page explains how to make that call and how insurance treats fences.

What's under the yard: caliche and buried lines

Two things underground affect a South Plains fence job.

Caliche. The Amarillo soil series covers a wide area of the Southern High Plains, and USDA's description uses reference samples from Lubbock County. It describes a layer of calcium carbonate buildup, what most people call caliche, starting 30 to 60 inches down. Related soils such as Arvana have a cemented layer 20 to 40 inches down. If an auger hits that layer, the hole takes longer to dig. Ask whether rock or caliche changes the price.

Utility lines. Texas law requires anyone digging 16 inches or deeper with powered equipment, such as a post-hole auger, to notify the state's one-call center at least 48 hours ahead, excluding weekends and holidays. Ask who will place the 811 request. Lines that serve only your property, such as sprinkler pipes, aren't covered by that law, so point them out to the crew.

Rules to check before the posts go in

Corner lots. City of Lubbock permit guidance says no fence may extend into the public right-of-way or the 25-foot vision-clearance triangle at roadway intersections.
Permits and height. Lubbock's Building Safety department says building or altering a structure needs a permit when the city's codes regulate it. Before you build, ask Building Safety at 806-775-2087 whether your fence needs one and how tall it can be.
HOAs. Since 2021, Texas Property Code §202.023 has barred most property owners' associations from banning a perimeter fence as a security measure. The HOA can still regulate the type of fence. Get architectural approval in writing before you order materials.

The Lubbock fence rules guide covers permits, shared fences with neighbors and the 811 law in more depth.

Questions to put to any fence company

Use these whether you hire the company we connect you with or someone else:

What posts will you use, and how deep do they go? Ask for post size, wall thickness, spacing and whether every post is set in concrete.
Is removal and haul-off of the old fence included?
Who confirms the property line? If you don't have a survey, ask how the line will be located.
Are you registered with the City of Lubbock? The city requires building and general contractors working in Lubbock to register with Building Safety.
What does the written contract cover? Get the total price, materials, gate hardware and any workmanship warranty terms in writing.
How much is due up front? The Texas Department of Insurance says never to pay the entire bill up front, to be wary of a large down payment, and never to sign a contract with blank sections.

Common questions

Who builds the fence if I send a request here?

An independent local fence company. Lubbock Fence Install is a referral website. We don't build, repair or sell fences. We pass your request to one company, and that company quotes the job, schedules it and does the work on its own terms.

Can I ask for a repair, or only a new fence?

Both. Leaning posts, blown-out pickets, a sagging gate or a run of fence knocked flat by a storm are all fine to send. Say in the details box what broke and how many feet are affected.

What should I measure before I ask for a price?

Walk the line and estimate the total length in feet, count the gates you want and note the height (4, 6 or 8 feet). Mention whether an old fence has to come out first. Rough numbers are fine; the company will measure.

Do you take requests outside Lubbock city limits?

Yes. The form lists Wolfforth, Shallowater and Slaton, plus an "other nearby" choice. The company will tell you whether it covers your address.

Will homeowners insurance pay for a fence the wind knocked down?

Often, if your policy covers wind. The Texas Department of Insurance says fences usually fall under "other structures" and are paid at actual cash value, meaning depreciation is deducted and you pay your deductible. The fence repair page covers claims in more detail.
