Springfield, Tennessee's Most Trusted Fence Company
Water sits in a post hole here long after the rain stops, because a dense layer about a foot and a half down prevents it from draining. That matters on the deep pre-1920 lots around the Springfield Public Square and in the bonded subdivision phases being built at the edges of town.

Material Performance in Springfield, Tennessee
Springfield's Historic Preservation District determines which materials belong in a front yard downtown, and the zoning ordinance covers the rest of the city.
Powder-coated aluminum suits a front yard inside the district, because an open picket line sits low and its finish maintains color through a humid summer. Chain link fits side and rear lines inside the district, and elsewhere in town it also works in a front yard, where a PVC coating slows the corrosion that bare galvanized wire develops in damp ground. Vinyl flexes instead of splitting when a freezing night turns mild by afternoon, and a rinse is most of its upkeep.
Wood provides the solid privacy fence the district allows behind the house, and because the mid-South sits in an intermediate-to-high decay band, staining within 60 days of installation is what keeps your workmanship warranty valid. Ornamental steel is galvanized beneath its finish, which matters on Highland Rim ground that stays wet after a storm. Temporary chain link is rented rather than set, so a wet build site never costs you a permanent post.
FAQs
These are the questions we hear most often on jobs in Springfield, Tennessee, from the Public Square out to the newer subdivision phases.
Springfield publishes no separate fence permit, but a pool enclosure should still be confirmed with the city Building and Codes office on North Main Street before you order material. Most of the pool fences we install are black powder-coated aluminum, because self-closing and self-latching gate hardware mounts cleanly on it, and the open pickets leave the water in view from the house. Setting the fence line and the gate swing correctly at the start is far easier than moving a post afterward.
It can, and where your address sits in town determines how much. The newer phased subdivisions carry covenants that may specify a height, a material, or a color, while the older grid near the Public Square falls under design review by the Historic Preservation Commission instead. Vinyl is a frequent choice in the restriction phases, since a white or tan panel line stays uniform the whole way down a street. Send us the restriction pages along with your address, and we will lay out a fence that satisfies them.
In most of the city, a fence up to six feet is a permitted obstruction in any required yard, which covers a standard backyard privacy line. The Springfield Historic Preservation District is the exception, where a front-yard fence is limited to roughly 42 to 48 inches and side fences step up to six feet as they move back, so a solid privacy fence belongs behind the house rather than in front of it. Corner lots have a limit of their own, because nothing between two and a half and ten feet may sit within fifty feet of an intersection. Board-on-board and shadow-box are the two wood styles we build most often for privacy here.
Ornamental steel is the stronger of the two in the way that shows day to day, because galvanized steel posts and rails do not warp, cup, or split the way a board can after a few wet seasons. Wood still provides the solid privacy that steel cannot, since steel pickets are open by design. The option that suits your property depends on whether you want to see through the fence line, and plenty of properties here use one in front and the other in back. We stock the material for either one if you would rather set the posts yourself.
Vinyl handles the rain here well, roughly fifty inches a year, because water does not rot PVC and there is no stain or paint on the surface to wear away. Storm performance depends on the posts more than the panels, since a solid privacy panel bears more wind pressure than an open picket design. Middle Tennessee sits in Dixie Alley and experiences straight-line wind and ice, so post depth and spacing are what determine whether a fence line stays standing. Every fence we build carries a lifetime workmanship warranty.
The best fence for a dog depends on the dog, though a solid six-foot wood or vinyl fence stops a jumper and blocks the view of most of what a dog barks at. For a digger rather than a jumper, chain link with the fabric installed tight to grade is the more practical option, and a black coating makes it nearly invisible from the patio. Gate hardware matters as much as the fence itself, because a self-latching gate is what keeps the yard closed after someone walks through it.
