Fence installed in Franklin, Tennessee

Franklin, Tennessee Fence Company

Fence work in Franklin runs from the 1800s streetscapes around the Square to the blank builder yards out at Berry Farms and Ladd Park, and Frontier Fence has built for both since 2015. We design each fence to suit its street and whatever board reviews it.

Franklin, Tennessee's Most Trusted Fence Company

A fence in Franklin is part of the streetscape, and it gets reviewed that way. Five historic districts cover Main Street and Hincheyville, where street-facing work has to suit the period, and the newer communities run a fence design past architectural review first. Fieldstone Farms is the other case, where fence lines from 1987 are due for replacement.

We have worked in this trade as a family business for 11 years, and every fence we build carries a lifetime workmanship warranty. We are also a wholesale fence distributor, so you can buy aluminum, vinyl, or wood material and have it delivered. Estimates are free.

Material Performance in Franklin, Tennessee

Central Basin ground is clayey limestone that swells and shrinks with the season, and winter here runs to freezing nights followed by thawing afternoons.

Aluminum has no rust to manage, and each rail brackets into its post separately, so one post pushed out of line by a clay winter can be reset without dismantling the entire fence. Chain link does better in wet ground when the galvanized wire has a black or green PVC coating, especially along the bottom where moisture and ground contact are concerns. Vinyl draws no moisture from the soil, though a six-month growing season means cutting honeysuckle and privet back off the panels.

Wood is the material that this climate is hardest on, and it gives out at the soil line, not above it, so staining within 60 days of installation is a warranty condition. Ornamental steel combines galvanized steel with a protective finish, so humidity wears on the coating, not the steel, and its heavier sections maintain a straight line. Temporary chain link is rented and removed, so spring weather at a job site never leaves a post sitting in wet clay.

FAQs

These are the questions that come up most often when we quote fence work in Franklin, from the historic blocks downtown to the newer neighborhoods west and south of them.

Yes, the estimate is free, and requesting one comes with no obligation. We walk the line you want fenced, note the grade changes and drainage, and point out anything a historic district or an architectural committee is likely to raise before the design is settled. You get the layout and the material options in writing, so nothing is ordered without a clear plan. Tell us when you would like us to come out to measure, and we will work around your schedule.

A pool enclosure is held to a different standard than an ordinary yard fence, and the requirement comes from the building code the city has adopted rather than from a general rule. Franklin runs plan review and permits through its GeoCivix portal and has moved to the 2024 ICC code family, so the barrier, gate, and latch rules for your address are the city's to state. Rather than repeat a height figure that circulates second hand, call the department at 615-794-7012 and get yours confirmed before anything is built. An aluminum fence is what we install around most pools, because the styles include puppy picket and flat top, and the gates accommodate self-closing and self-latching hardware.

Modern houses look best behind a clean horizontal line with few visual breaks. A horizontal wood fence in cedar does that in a backyard, while a flat-top aluminum fence keeps a front yard open where sight lines matter to a review committee. In the newer neighborhoods, a vinyl privacy panel provides the same look with less upkeep. Send us photos of the house, and we will match the fence to it.

Aluminum and PVC-coated chain link need the least maintenance over time. Aluminum carries no rust risk, and its powder-coated finish holds its color, while a coating over galvanized chain link seals the wire where weather and ground contact cause the most damage. Both suit a commercial property where reducing maintenance is important. Wood requires periodic staining to maintain its appearance, so it is the right choice only when the appearance is worth the upkeep.

We build eight different styles, and they cover most of what a property here requires, including 2-rail flat top, 3-rail flush bottom, 3-rail extended bottom, puppy picket, 4-rail extended pickets, flat top alternating pickets, 3-rail spear top, and 3-rail staggered pickets. Spear top is the one that has the closest appearance to old wrought iron, which is why it suits a street inside a historic district. Puppy pickets close the gap along the bottom rail for a small dog. We also sell aluminum material for pickup or delivery if you would rather build it yourself.

Yes, we have partnered with Wisetack so you can pay over time rather than all at once. The application is short, and you can prequalify before you commit to the work. Approval and terms come from Wisetack rather than from us, and the details can be found on our financing page. It is worth checking if you are looking to start a large project, such as fencing more than one side of the property at once.

Why Franklin, Tennessee Calls Frontier Fence

Franklin is about 50 miles southwest of our Gallatin shop, roughly an hour with a loaded trailer, and we run this end of the county on a regular schedule.

Mack Hatcher Memorial Parkway loops the historic core, and we use it to reach jobs on either side without taking a material trailer through the Square. State Route 96 carries us west past Westhaven, while US 31 runs south as Columbia Avenue and north as Franklin Road. The Cool Springs interchanges at McEwen Drive put commercial work minutes off Interstate 65. We have built fences on the streets around Harlinsdale Farm and Carnton for years, so we know where a fence design gets a second look before it is approved.

Fence Permits in Franklin, Tennessee

Franklin issues its own permits through the city's GeoCivix portal, and Williamson County covers property outside the city limits.

Tennessee leaves fence rules to local government, and Franklin runs its own plan review rather than deferring to the county. Applications go through the city's GeoCivix portal, and the department takes questions at 615-794-7012. The city's zoning ordinance publishes fence height and location requirements, so check the rules for your property before ordering materials. Five historic districts and the architectural committees in the newer communities add a second layer of approval. Property outside the city limits falls to Williamson County.

Tennessee

Tennessee issues residential permits only where a local government has not taken the exemption, which is rare here.
