Custom Bocce Court Fencing & Railings in Dallas, TX

Bocce Court Fencing, Railings, and Board Systems

Quality fencing and railings define court boundaries, contain play, and enhance aesthetic appeal. From functional sideboards to decorative perimeter treatments, our installations combine practical performance with visual sophistication appropriate for Dallas-area properties.

Functional Court Boards

Sideboards (Rails)

Sideboards contain errant throws while defining court edges. Standard specifications include:

• Height: 6-8 inches above playing surface
• Material: Pressure-treated lumber, composite, or synthetic materials
• Installation: Secured to posts with corrosion-resistant fasteners
• Function: Ball rebound and boundary definition

Sideboard material selection balances durability, appearance, and play characteristics. Traditional wood offers authentic aesthetics while modern composites reduce maintenance requirements.

Backboards (End Boards)

Backboards stop balls at court ends and foul line indicators. They require sturdy construction withstanding repeated ball impact. Design considerations include:

• Structural support preventing bowing or displacement
• Smooth surfaces allowing predictable ball rebound
• Clear foul line markings visible to players
• Drainage gaps preventing water accumulation

Perimeter Fencing Options

Beyond court boards, perimeter fencing serves multiple purposes:

Spectator Barriers

Low railings separate viewing areas from active play, enhancing safety while maintaining sightlines. Popular styles include:

• Cable railing systems offering minimal visual obstruction
• Decorative metal railings complementing landscape design
• Wood post-and-rail construction matching natural aesthetics
• Hybrid systems combining materials for unique appearances

Ball Containment Fencing

Taller barriers prevent balls from leaving court areas, particularly important for:

• Courts near roads, water features, or sensitive landscaping
• Multi-court facilities with adjacent play areas
• Windy locations where throws carry farther
• Properties with limited space requiring play near boundaries

Privacy Screening

Strategic fencing creates intimate court environments:

• Louvered panels blocking sightlines while allowing airflow
• Vegetative screens using climbing plants on trellis structures
• Solid panel sections providing complete privacy
• Adjustable screening for flexible space configuration

Material Selection

Pressure-Treated Lumber

Traditional choice offering natural appearance and solid performance:

• Cost-effective initial investment
• Accepts stain or paint for color matching
• Requires periodic maintenance and eventual replacement
• 10-15 year lifespan with proper care

Composite Materials

Modern alternatives combining wood fiber and recycled plastic:

• Resistant to rot, insects, and weathering
• Consistent appearance without staining
• Higher initial cost offset by reduced maintenance
• 25+ year expected lifespan

Vinyl/PVC

Synthetic options for minimal maintenance:

• Wide color selection including wood grain patterns
• Never requires painting or staining
• Impact resistance varies by product quality
• UV stability critical for Texas sun exposure

Metal Systems

Wrought iron, aluminum, or steel for distinctive aesthetics:

• Exceptional durability and strength
• Powder-coated finishes resisting corrosion
• Contemporary or traditional design options
• Premium investment with maximum longevity

Design and Installation

Height Considerations

Board and fence heights balance function and aesthetics:

• Sideboards: 6-8 inches for regulation play
• Backboards: 12-18 inches with backstop function
• Spectator barriers: 36-42 inches for comfortable leaning
• Ball containment: 6-10 feet depending on court location

Post Installation

Sturdy posts anchor all fencing systems:

• Pressure-treated 4x4 or 6x6 lumber for wood systems
• Steel or aluminum posts for metal railings
• Concrete footings below frost line (18-24 inches typical)
• Proper spacing preventing sagging and maintaining alignment

Hardware and Fasteners

Quality hardware ensures lasting performance:

• Stainless steel or hot-dipped galvanized fasteners
• Lag bolts for structural connections
• Decorative caps protecting post tops
• Adjustable connections accommodating settling
