A Stronger Foundation for Your Wood Privacy Fence
Hooks Fence Company offers the King+ steel-post upgrade for customers who want the traditional appearance and privacy of wood fencing with a stronger structural foundation. Instead of placing a conventional wood post in the ground, King+ uses a galvanized steel pole driven deep into stable soil and concealed inside the finished wood fence.
This upgraded foundation directly addresses two of the most common weaknesses in conventional wood fencing: posts that decay at ground level and structural posts that can twist, move or warp as they age. The steel remains hidden, so the completed fence still looks like a well-built traditional wood privacy fence.
King+ costs more than a standard wood-post installation because it uses upgraded steel materials and a specialized installation method. For customers planning to keep their fence for many years, that added cost can provide meaningful long-term value—similar to investing more upfront to reduce exposure to common post failures later.
King+ was developed by Shawn King of Mr. Fence Company in Evansville, Indiana. Mr. Fence's published system specifications describe 2.5-inch Schedule 20 galvanized steel poles driven four feet into the ground, concealed in wood and rated for wind resistance up to 112 mph. Hooks Fence Company confirms the materials, layout and specifications proposed for each individual project before installation.

Why Choose King+?
Steel Where Strength Matters. Wood Where Beauty Matters.
Driven Steel Foundation
Galvanized steel poles are driven four feet into the ground to provide deep structural support for the wood fence.
No Buried Wood Post
The primary structural pole is steel rather than a conventional wood post, removing ground-level wood-post decay as a foundation weak point.
Resists Post Warping
Steel does not twist and warp from sun and changing moisture the way a structural wood post can over time.
Traditional Wood Appearance
The steel foundation is concealed within the wood construction, preserving the natural appearance and privacy customers want.
Compare the Foundations
King+ Steel Posts vs. Conventional Wood Posts
King+ Upgrade
Driven galvanized steel foundation • No structural wood post buried in the ground • Greater resistance to post twisting and warping • Published wind resistance up to 112 mph
Conventional Wood Posts
Lower initial cost • Familiar traditional construction • Wood remains exposed to soil and moisture • Structural posts may decay, twist or warp as the fence ages
Both options can produce an attractive wood fence. Hooks Fence Company evaluates the property, soil, grade, underground utilities, fence style and customer priorities before recommending the appropriate foundation.

Wood Gate Options • Attalla, Alabama Project
Economy Wooden Gate Frame
Our Economy Wooden Gate Frame is a straightforward option for customers who need a functional gate as part of a wood privacy fence while keeping the gate construction economical.
This Attalla project shows the construction side of the gate, including the wood frame and diagonal brace. A diagonal brace helps triangulate a rectangular gate frame so it resists racking and sagging under its own weight.
Gate size, hinge placement, post strength and the weight of the finished gate all matter. Hooks Fence Company can help determine the appropriate gate construction for the opening and intended use.

Upgraded Gate Option • Guntersville, Alabama Project
Heavy-Duty Metal Gate Frame Upgrade
Customers who want additional strength and long-term rigidity can upgrade a wood privacy gate from our Economy Wooden Gate Frame to a heavy-duty metal frame.
The rigid metal frame carries the gate while wood pickets are added to maintain the appearance of the surrounding privacy fence. Compared with an all-wood frame, a properly fabricated metal frame is better able to hold its shape and resist the racking and sagging that can develop as wood changes with weather and age.
This is an upgraded option with a small additional charge. For many customers, the extra cost is worthwhile for a gate that receives frequent use or where greater long-term stability is desired.
Recommended for greater long-term durability.

Classic Wood Picket Fencing
Wood picket fencing is a good choice when the goal is to define a yard or property boundary without creating the closed-in appearance of a full privacy fence.
Spaced vertical pickets maintain visibility and airflow while providing the traditional appearance associated with front yards, gardens and residential landscapes.
This Guntersville installation shows a pointed-picket design that complements the home's traditional exterior while keeping the front yard visually open.
