Expert Fence Company in Cottontown, Tennessee
Highway 25 and Highway 76 meet at the four-way stop in the middle of Cottontown, and what spreads out from it is acreage rather than tract housing. The Sumner and Robertson county line runs through the community, so neighboring tracts can fall under different county setback rules.
Frontier Fence has installed fences across Middle Tennessee for 11 years, and every one carries a lifetime workmanship warranty. We are also a wholesale distributor, so you can have us build the fence or buy the material and build it yourself.

What Fence Installation Is Like in Cottontown, Tennessee
On a five- or ten-acre property, we plan your fence around the drive, the gates, and how equipment gets through, rather than around the shape of a backyard.
Gates Sized for Equipment
A gate on acreage has to pass a truck, a trailer, or a tractor, so we widen the opening and hang it on heavier posts, which prevents a long gate from sagging.
The Driveway Entrance
Where your fence meets the drive, we set the posts back far enough that you can pull off the road before the gate opens, and that corner is what visitors see first.
Digging the Long Line
A fence line this long means dozens of post holes, and water here sits on a tight layer two to three feet down, so we dig once it drains.
FAQs
Here are the questions we hear most from property owners around Cottontown, Tennessee, from how the ground affects posts to the materials we stock.
Yes. We are a wholesale fence distributor as well as an installer, so you can buy professional-grade aluminum, vinyl, and wood fence material from us and build it yourself. Pickup is seven miles east on Highway 25 in Gallatin, and we can load your trailer there or deliver to the property. Homeowners, contractors, and other fence companies buy from the same counter.
It can, but how well it handles the wind depends on the posts. A solid panel gives wind nothing to pass through, so on an open tract with no tree cover, the load lands squarely on the posts and the corner bracing. Our crews are specially trained in the latest wood fence installation techniques, and the posts are built for long-term performance. If your line runs across an open field, a shadow-box or a picket style lets air through instead of catching it.
Yes, we build through all four seasons in Middle Tennessee. Winter here brings plenty of freezing nights but very few days that stay below freezing, so the ground is rarely hard enough to stop a crew. Spring is the wettest stretch of the year, and a soaked field can delay a start date by a few days depending on how much rain has come through. Contact us for a free estimate, and we will give you an honest window for your address.
Slope changes both the labor and the material a fence line requires, so it does affect what a project costs. A fence on a grade either steps down in level sections, which leaves triangular gaps underneath, or it racks to follow the ground, and those are two different builds. Rural lots roll enough that part of a line often steps while the rest racks. We walk the whole line with you before quoting so the quote reflects the ground you actually have.
Ornamental steel is the usual choice when a property has to look finished and still define a strong boundary. It is crafted from galvanized steel on heavy-duty posts, and because you can see straight through it, there is nowhere along the line for someone to work unseen. Aluminum provides the same look in a lighter material that will not rust, with a scratch-proof powder coating on the pickets. Both come in eight styles, from a 2 Rail Flat Top to a 3 Rail Spear Top.
Vinyl requires the least upkeep of anything we install. It never needs staining or sealing, and a garden hose clears off the pollen and dust that a Tennessee spring leaves behind. Aluminum is close behind, because the powder coating maintains its color and the metal will not rust. Wood is the highest-upkeep option, because our workmanship warranty requires staining within 60 days of installation, and it needs re-coating periodically after that, depending on how much sun and weather that side of the property experiences.
