What Plano's fence rules mean for an iron fence or gate
The City of Plano's Building Inspection Department publishes a residential fence permit handout, revised August 25, 2025. It sets the height limits, gate placement, and materials every Plano fence has to meet, metal fences included.
Most fence calls are smaller than that: a snapped picket, a cracked post, or a gate hinge torn off its post. Wildseed's fence welding fixes those breaks where the fence stands, so no panel comes down and nothing gets hauled away.
When you need a new gate or a section built, he fabricates it to your measurements. The handout also tells homeowners to check with their homeowners association, which can add requirements of its own.
- Tallest fence
- 8 feet
- Required front yard
- 40 inches, at least 50% open
- Sliding gates
- Inside the fence line, not on the alley side
- Not allowed as fencing
- Plywood, corrugated steel, barbed wire, fiberglass panels

“Chris is a professional. He made a custom built gate for my apartment. His work is to exact specs and his rate was fair.”
Questions Plano customers ask a mobile welder
Does a mobile welder come out to Plano at night or on weekends?
Yes, 24/7.Wildseed Specialty Mobile Welding answers (469) 679-4268 every hour of every day, and Plano calls go to the crew behind its Farmers Branch listing. Chris is often on site within an hour. Text a photo of the break and your address, and he'll know the job before he leaves.
Do I need a permit to repair a metal fence in Plano?
Not for a small repair.The City of Plano's fence handout says no permit is needed for repairs to an existing fence that stay within 25% of its area in a 12-month period. Wildseed Specialty Mobile Welding welds broken pickets, posts, and hinges on site; for a larger rebuild, check with the city first.
Do I have to take the broken part to a welding shop?
No.Wildseed Specialty Mobile Welding is a mobile service. Chris drives the welder to your Plano driveway, business, or job site and makes the repair where the metal is, so a trailer stays off a tow truck and a gate stays on its post.
How much does a mobile welder cost in Plano?
$100 to $250 an hour.Wildseed Specialty Mobile Welding bills Plano work by the hour, the same range it charges across Dallas-Fort Worth. Text photos of the break to (469) 679-4268, and Chris will tell you how he'd fix it and where the job should land in that range before he starts.
Custom steel, shop machines, and trailers welded in Plano
Each of these is welded at the Plano address where the metal is, from a home driveway to a business floor or a building site.
Custom gates and steel built to measure
A new gate, a fire pit, or a one-off bracket starts with the numbers you send. Chris builds the piece to those measurements, and the fabrication is done by the same certified welder who'd repair it.
Custom metal fabricationA machine down at your business
Guards, frames, and sheet metal on shop machines crack with daily use. A Farmers Branch listing customer had Chris out within hours of calling to repair the sheet metal on a CNC machine.
24-hour emergency weldingTrailers and RVs in the driveway
Hitches, axles, spring hangers, and frames give out under load. Chris welds them where the trailer or RV is parked, so it doesn't need a tow to get fixed.
