Is Oildale part of Bakersfield?
No. Oildale is an unincorporated community in Kern County, just north of Bakersfield across the Kern River. That means Kern County, not the City of Bakersfield, sets the zoning and building rules for fences there. We check the county standards for your parcel before we design anything.
What do Oildale properties usually need?
Oildale grew up around the oil fields to its north and east, and the mix shows. Older homes need replacement fences and gates. Service companies and contractors need secure yards for equipment, pipe and vehicles. Some lots back onto open or industrial land and want a fence that blocks blowing dust and debris.
Which fence types work well here?
- Chain link for yards, dog runs and storage lots.
- Heavy commercial fencing with slide gates for truck access.
- Vinyl or wood on steel posts for back-yard privacy.
- Steel for front-yard security.
Can I put barbed wire on my yard fence?
That depends on the county zoning for your parcel, which can differ from Bakersfield's rules. We confirm before we include it in a quote.
Which fence fits an Oildale property?
Choose chain link for function at the lowest price, commercial-grade fencing for a working yard, and vinyl or steel-post wood where privacy matters.
