Top Rated Fence Company in Scottsville, Kentucky
Houses are built around Scottsville one at a time rather than by the subdivision, so every fence line is laid out for the property in front of us. On acreage, the fence has to clear a septic field and maintain a straight line across open ground, while a town lot is a matter of working around what is already there.
Our crews have installed fences across Southern Kentucky for over 11 years, and every fence we build carries a lifetime workmanship warranty. You can also buy aluminum, vinyl, or wood materials from us and install them yourself.

Material Performance in Scottsville, Kentucky
Ground here is red clay over cavernous limestone, spring is the wettest stretch of the year, and winter freezes most nights and thaws by afternoon.
Aluminum handles this humidity better than anything else we install, since the powder coating has nothing in it to rot and the metal underneath does not rust. Chain link withstands the same weather, though ice loading on the fabric is an important design consideration in Kentucky, so line-post spacing and a top rail matter here. Vinyl takes the summer sun and the swing from a freezing night to a mild afternoon without splitting, and a rinse covers most of its upkeep.
Wood is the material this climate works hardest on and is vulnerable at the soil line, not up in the pickets, which is why we do not cut post depth short and why the workmanship warranty requires stain within 60 days. Ornamental steel is galvanized under its finish, so a wet spring does little to it, and touching up a deep scratch stops rust before it spreads. Temporary panels are galvanized too, which matters on a rental sitting through an ice storm.
FAQs
Before a fence is installed around Scottsville, these are the questions that come up first.
On most properties here, it does not, because HOA-governed subdivisions are scarce in this part of Allen County, and the majority of homes sit on unrestricted city lots or farm acreage. An architectural review board is the exception rather than the rule, which gives you a wider choice of material and height than a buyer in a newer suburb gets. If your deed does carry restrictions, they can be stricter than any city rule, and they normally govern height, material, and which way the finished side faces. Send them to us before you order anything, and we will design a fence that fits within them.
Plan on a barrier around any pool, even though neither the city nor Allen County publishes a fence ordinance of its own. Kentucky adopts its residential code statewide through the Department of Housing, Buildings and Construction, so a pool barrier answers to that code rather than to a local fence rule. Most of the pool enclosures we build are aluminum with a self-closing, self-latching gate, since the powder-coated pickets will not corrode near chlorinated water. Confirm what your address needs with the Scottsville-Allen County Planning Commission before you set posts.
No local ordinance sets a height or a setback for a fence in front of the house, which surprises people who have moved here from a larger town. In practice, we treat the corner sight lines as the limit, keeping the fence low where a driveway meets the road so drivers have a clear view. We also turn the finished side toward the street because the front line is the part of your property everyone else looks at. The Scottsville-Allen County Planning Commission is the office to ask if you would rather have a plan looked at first.
Aluminum and ornamental steel outlast the rest, with vinyl close behind, because none of the three contains organic material that damp ground can break down. Wood is affected the most by humidity, and staining it on schedule is what protects it at the soil line, where it is most vulnerable. Every fence we build is covered by a lifetime workmanship warranty, and many of the materials add a manufacturer warranty on top of that. Wood is the exception on the manufacturer side, since it is a natural product and carries none.
Yes, and it is a routine order for us rather than a special request. We are a wholesale fence distributor as well as an installer, so you can buy professional-grade aluminum, vinyl, and wood material from us with pickup or delivery to your property. Homeowners, contractors, and other fence companies all order this way, and we will talk through layout and post spacing before you haul anything home. Contact our team, and we will put a material list together for your project.
Six feet is the standard privacy height, and it handles most lots, since it blocks the sight line from a neighbor's deck and from the road at the same time. Taller fences are possible in wood or vinyl where the ground falls away behind the house, which is common on the rolling lots outside town. Anything above six feet is worth checking against your permit first, and on a slope the panels step down while the posts follow the grade. We walk the line with you at the estimate and mark where the height should change.
