How Snake Fencing Works

A snake barrier works by closing off the small gaps snakes use to get into a yard. Fencing is fitted with a fine mesh, extended below ground level to help stop tunneling, and run along the base of existing walls, fences, and gates. Gates and corners tend to be the hardest part of any snake fencing project to get right, since they’re where gaps are most likely to open up over time.

Snake Fencing Built for Tucson Properties

Southwest Iron Works serves homeowners and businesses throughout Tucson, Marana, Oro Valley, Dove Mountain, Rita Ranch, and Vail, where desert terrain, monsoon runoff, and extreme summer heat all put extra strain on a fence line. Snake fencing here has to hold up to more than snakes.

Complete Perimeter Protection

A snake barrier is only as strong as its weakest point, and that’s usually a gate. Southwest Iron Works can fit snake fencing to your existing security gates and modify gates as part of the installation, so the barrier stays continuous around your whole property instead of stopping at the first gap.

Our Snake Fencing Process

First, contact our team or visit our showroom to talk through your property line, gates, and existing fencing.

Next, we walk your perimeter to identify gaps, gates, and problem areas where snakes are most likely to get in.

Then, your snake fencing is fabricated and fitted in-house, matched to your existing fences, walls, and gates.

Finally, we install your barrier along the full perimeter, including the gate areas that matter most.


Frequently Asked Questions

Does snake fencing keep out rattlesnakes?

A properly installed snake barrier is designed to block rattlesnakes and other snakes from getting into a yard. No barrier can guarantee a snake will never get in, especially around open gates or gaps in a perimeter, but a complete, well-installed system significantly reduces the risk.

Will snake fencing keep out other desert wildlife too?

Yes. A snake barrier can also help block small desert varmints from getting into your yard, not just snakes.

Can snake fencing be added to my existing fence or wall?

Yes. Southwest Iron Works installs snake fencing along existing fences, walls, and gates, so you don’t need to replace your perimeter to add protection.

What makes gates a weak point for snake fencing?

Gates move, and any gap around a gate is a possible entry point. We fit and modify gates as part of the installation so the barrier stays continuous.


Will snake fencing hold up to Tucson’s heat and monsoon season?

Yes. Our snake fencing is built for Arizona conditions, using durable materials designed to withstand extreme heat, monsoon rains, and desert terrain.
