How do you replace a broken fence?

We replace the broken elements, repack any leaning posts, and adjust gates as needed. We're proud to be one of the fence companies Athens, GA residents trust to complete their repairs.

Do fence posts need to be set in concrete?

Athens Fence Company sets all vinyl, aluminum, and steel (chain link) fence posts in concrete. With post and rail fences, only the gate posts are set in concrete. As the fence installers Athens, GA residents recommend, we want to ensure your fence is as sturdy as possible no matter what material it's made of.

Can you install a fence when the ground is frozen?

With powerful machinery and skilled fence installers Athens, GA can count on, Athens Fence Company is able to install fences year-round.

How do you price a fence job?

Athens Fence Company determines the price of a project by the number of posts and gates installed added to the price of materials. We strive to be one of the fence companies Athens, GA residents can afford.

Does a fence increase home value?

A fence can increase home value by adding beauty and security to the property. When people see that you've worked with the fence installers Athens, GA trusts most, they'll know the fence is a high-quality and valuable addition.

Can the fence be attached to my house or deck?

We always prefer to mount your fence to a post because we know how that will hold up. Attaching it to your house, however, will have a less predictable outcome. There are cases where attaching the fence in this way is a better solution, but we also don't want to damage your house. We can often attach to a deck post without difficulty.

As one of the most trusted fence companies Athens, GA is home to, we're open to implementing the desires you have for your property.

How wide can a gate be?

Different materials have different capabilities. Wood and vinyl gates work best if they are five feet wide or less. Aluminum and chain link gates can be much wider and still hold up. Call the fence installers Athens, GA can count on for more information.

How can I prevent my dog from getting out of my split rail fence?

A good way to start dog-proofing your split rail fence is by using picket gates rather than split rail gates. On a split rail fence, the gate is the area most vulnerable to escaping dogs because the welded wire at the bottom doesn't touch the ground. If it did, the gate wouldn't open well. As a result, its flexibility offers the opportunity for dogs to squeeze underneath. Picket gates are rigid at the bottom and can help you avoid this problem. We can also add boards to the bottom of the fence if needed.

As one of the fence companies Athens, GA residents look to for guidance, we're always happy to provide you with helpful tips like this one.

How long will my fence last?

Vinyl and aluminum fence materials are guaranteed for life. With occasional adjustments and cleanings, vinyl and aluminum fences can stand strong and look good for 30 years or more, according to Fence Specialists. Red cedar posts and board fences have a 15 to 20-year life expectancy, and a spruce stockade fence has an expected lifespan of about 10 to 15 years.

As the fence installers Athens, GA residents rely on, we can help you choose the right material for your property's fence.

Can you build a fence without digging holes?

To install a fence in dirt, post holes are necessary. An aluminum fence can be installed in a very level concrete pad using flanges and screws, but this is not the optimal installation method.
