The local fence company for the homes and businesses in the streets around the HMT Recreation Complex — chain-link, cedar privacy, vinyl, and commercial fencing built for the Five Oaks area.
The Howard M. Terpenning Recreation Complex — the HMT Complex — sits on roughly 92 acres at 15700 SW Walker Road, near SW 158th Avenue, and it anchors the Five Oaks area on the west edge of Beaverton. With an athletic center, an aquatic center, a tennis center, and rows of ball fields drawing hundreds of thousands of visits a year, the THPRD complex is the landmark everyone in the 97006 ZIP navigates by. When homeowners and business owners around it ask who installs fences near the HMT Recreation Complex, the answer is Beaverton Fence Pro — the local crew that works the streets off Walker Road and 158th every week.
To be clear, we serve the homes and businesses near the complex, not the recreation grounds themselves. Single-family houses on the residential streets, the subdivisions and apartments close by, and the offices and small businesses ringing the area all need fencing built for the Pacific Northwest. We bring chain-link, cedar privacy fencing, low-maintenance vinyl, and commercial-grade options to your property, set them to last in our wet climate, and keep the job inside Beaverton's fence code. Call (855) 598-3288 any time — we answer 24/7.
Five Oaks is one of the busier corners of west Beaverton, and that shapes the fencing we install here. The streets between SW Walker Road and SW Jenkins Road carry steady traffic to the athletic, aquatic, and tennis centers, plus the ball fields that pull in something close to 650,000 visits a year. Properties along that flow want a clear boundary — whether that is privacy from passing cars and pedestrians, a secure perimeter for a business off SW Millikan Way, or a simple, durable yard line that holds up to the weather and the foot traffic. We have walked enough of these lots to know how the ground behaves and how each block sits, so when you call we are not guessing about your area.
The homes near the HMT Recreation Complex range from established Five Oaks lots to newer subdivisions off SW 158th Avenue, and the most common request here is a backyard that feels private despite the steady recreation traffic on SW Walker Road and SW Jenkins Road. That is where a solid privacy fence earns its keep.
A 6-foot cedar privacy fence is the go-to for homes near the complex — full-height screening that blocks sightlines from nearby parking and fields while standing up to wet winters.
Vinyl fencing suits the newer streets off SW 158th Avenue for owners who want a clean look with no staining or sealing season after season.
Every post near the HMT Complex goes in a concrete footing with proper drainage, because the saturated ground here is what fails shallow-set fences first.
Cedar is the material that suits this area best for one reason: it handles moisture. Western red cedar carries natural oils that resist rot and insects far better than untreated pine or fir, which matters on lots where the ground stays damp through a long Beaverton winter. We hang cedar panels on posts set in concrete with a gravel base so water drains away from the wood instead of pooling against it, and that detail is what keeps a privacy fence standing straight years after a cheaper build would have started to lean. On the older Five Oaks lots, we can also match an existing run so a new section blends with the fence already there.
Whether you want full backyard privacy or a tidy side-yard run, cedar privacy fence installation and vinyl fencing are the two residential materials we install most around the HMT Recreation Complex.
From chain-link yards to backyard cedar, here is what we install and repair for properties in the Five Oaks area.

With ball fields, courts, and constant foot traffic nearby, a lot of properties around the HMT Complex want fencing that is tough, see-through, and low-fuss. Galvanized chain-link is the workhorse for exactly that — and it is one of the things we install most in this part of Five Oaks.
We use galvanized mesh and posts so the steel resists corrosion through the wet months, and we set terminal and gate posts in concrete with the same drainage we use on cedar, because a chain-link line is only as solid as the footings under it. For businesses off SW Millikan Way and the offices near the complex, we can add height, top rail, and heavier gauge for a perimeter that takes real wear, and we size gates to whatever needs to pass through, from a walk gate to a wide opening for a service vehicle. Chain-link asks almost nothing of you after it goes up, which is why it stays popular on the harder-working lots in this area.
Is chain-link the right call near all this activity? Often, yes — chain-link fence installation gives you a sturdy, long-lasting boundary that keeps pets and kids in and keeps maintenance low, while still letting you watch the field across the street.
How fast can you repair a damaged fence near SW Walker Road? Quickly — because we are a local crew, not a dispatch from across the metro. The Pacific Northwest delivers the two things that break fences most: long stretches of saturated ground that loosen shallow posts, and winter windstorms that push on panels and topple sections that were never set deep enough. Homes near the HMT Recreation Complex see both. When a chain-link run sags, a section leans after a storm, or a gate stops latching, we come out, assess whether a repair or a replacement run makes more sense, and get your boundary sound again. For leaning posts, broken rails, sagging gates, and wind-blown panels, fence repair is a same-area call away.
Most of the failures we see near the complex trace back to how a post was set, not to the wood or the wire itself. A post dropped into a hand-dug hole and backfilled with dirt has nothing holding it once the clay soil swells with winter rain, so it works loose and the whole run starts to pull. When we repair a section, we look at the posts on either side of the damage first; sometimes a single reset post in a fresh concrete footing saves the rest of the fence, and sometimes the honest answer is that a tired run is past patching and a short replacement stretch will cost you less over time. We will tell you which it is rather than selling you the bigger job. Storm damage in particular is worth catching early, because one leaning post left through a wet winter tends to take its neighbors with it.
Which Beaverton neighborhoods near the HMT Complex do we cover? The short answer is all of them in this corner of 97006. Our work centers on the residential and commercial streets near the complex: the homes off SW Walker Road and SW 158th Avenue, the blocks along SW Jenkins Road, and the corridor toward SW Millikan Way. From there we reach across the rest of the Five Oaks area and the west Beaverton edge. With Highway 26 close at hand and the MAX line running nearby, getting to any property in this area is fast. Many of these lots back onto green space, and several sit a short walk from fencing near Tualatin Hills Nature Park, the other major outdoor landmark in this part of town.
Because the streets around the complex mix older Five Oaks homes with newer subdivisions, the work ranges from matching an existing fence so a new run blends with what is already there to modernizing a tired wood fence into clean chain-link, cedar, or vinyl. If you are weighing your options, our broader pages for fencing in Five Oaks and the city-wide overview of fencing in Beaverton lay out what works best by area. You can also browse every neighborhood we serve from the Beaverton service areas directory.
The mix of property types here keeps the work varied. Within a few blocks of the complex you will find single-family homes with deep backyards, townhome and apartment clusters that need shared boundary and trash-enclosure fencing, and small commercial properties along the Walker Road and Millikan Way corridors. Each one calls for a slightly different build, and knowing the area means we show up with the right material and the right plan instead of a one-size quote. We schedule around the rhythm of this part of Beaverton too, since the streets near the fields fill up on game days and weekends, and we would rather work when access is easy and your driveway is not boxed in.
Anyone can quote a fence. What separates a fence that lasts a decade from one that leans in two winters is whether the installer understands this specific ground. The land around the HMT Complex carries the kind of clay-heavy, water-retaining soil that punishes shortcuts — posts set too shallow, footings without drainage, untreated lumber against wet earth. We build for that reality on every job near the recreation complex, which is why our fences hold their line through the wettest Beaverton winters. When you are ready to move from research to a real estimate, the next step is the transactional page for fence installation near the HMT Complex, or simply call (855) 598-3288. We will walk your property, talk through code and materials, and give you a clear, no-pressure estimate.
Being local also means we are easy to reach when something goes wrong down the line. A fence is not a one-time transaction for us; the homeowner off SW 158th who hires us this spring is the same person who can call when a gate sags two winters from now, and we would rather earn that follow-up call than chase the next quick job and disappear. Crews based across the metro do not think that way because they are rarely back in Five Oaks. We are in this corner of 97006 every week, which keeps us honest about how we build.
What height can you build on a lot near the complex? In most of Five Oaks, Beaverton code lets side and rear yard fences reach 6 feet without a permit, which is the standard for the cedar privacy and chain-link runs we install most here. Front-yard fences that face the street are held to roughly 3.5 feet so they do not box in the sidewalk view, and that lower limit is where a lot of homeowners get tripped up when they assume a 6-foot fence is fine everywhere on the property. On corner lots — common on the through streets near the fields — there is also a vision-clearance triangle at the intersection where fence height is restricted so drivers can see oncoming traffic, and that rule matters more than usual on the busier blocks around the recreation complex.
We sort all of this out before a single post goes in the ground. When we walk your property, we confirm where the fence will sit relative to your property line, flag any corner or front-yard height limits that apply, and talk through whether you need a permit for your particular run, so you are not redoing work or facing a complaint after the fact. We do not display prices online because every lot near the complex is a little different — grade, soil, length, gate count, and how the line ties into what your neighbors already have all change the build — but a free on-site estimate gives you a clear, written number with none of that guesswork. Call (855) 598-3288 and we will set a time that works around the area's busy stretches.
