About Metro-Atlanta Fencing Companies

Are you in the market for a fence? Whether you’re starting from scratch or looking for alternatives to the fence already on your property, there are several important decisions ahead of you. Do you have your heart set on a cedar shadowbox fence? Have you considered a split-rail fence? What about easy-care vinyl?

Luckily, the right fence contractor can help you navigate the many material types and fence styles available to you. Keep reading to learn more about the differences between wrought iron and aluminum as well as installation techniques you’ll need to consider if your yard isn’t perfectly flat, and then give an Atlanta Best Pick fence contractor a call to get your project started.

Common Types of Fences

Wrought iron. Combining durability and elegance, wrought iron fences are resistant to pests and can be as simple or as decorative as you like. They’re also difficult to scale and damage, making them a great fence for security. Wrought iron fences surround many residential areas and public buildings in Atlanta, so if you’re looking for inspiration, take a drive around the city.

Aluminum. If you love the look of wrought iron but don’t want to deal with the maintenance required by that material, consider an aluminum fence instead. Available in a variety of colors and finishes, aluminum fences are easier to install than wrought iron and virtually maintenance-free—and you won’t have to compromise your aesthetic preferences.

Steel. Steel is stronger than other fence materials. It is also impact resistant and considered by many to be the best choice if you’re looking for a fence to provide maximum security. If you opt for a steel fence, make sure the metal is powder coated to prevent rust and deterioration during the humid Atlanta summers. Steel fences are heavy and require skill for proper installation, so don’t try to DIY.

Chain-link. Chain-link fences are low maintenance and cost effective. The metal used to make chain-link fences is galvanized to prevent rust, but vinyl-coated metal mesh is growing in popularity. Chain-link fence installation is quick and straightforward. If privacy is a concern, ask your fence contractor about adding wood slats. Many homeowners’ associations prohibit chain-link fences, so be sure to read your community bylaws and covenants before any work begins.

Vinyl. Vinyl fences are known for their durability and easy maintenance, and they’re available in many styles, colors, and textures. Quality vinyl is essential to a fence that withstands the elements for decades—opt for the thickest vinyl your budget permits, and make sure that the product you choose has been manufactured with UV inhibitors to protect it from sun damage.

Wood. The most popular materials for wood fences are redwood, cedar, and pressure-treated pine. Pressure-treated pine is common in the Atlanta area because it resists deterioration caused by high humidity. Cedar and redwood are naturally resistant to rot and pests, and they make for gorgeous fences that weather well. Regardless of the material you choose, remember that regular maintenance is key to keeping your wood fence in good shape.

Fence Installation

If your yard is level, your fence installation will most likely go quickly and easily. If your property is sloped, however, you’ll need to decide whether you want your new fence to be raked or stepped.

Raking follows the slope of the land. Rails are installed parallel to the ground while the pickets remain upright, which eliminates the empty space between the bottom of the fence and the ground.

Stepping involves each section of the fence jutting from the ground. When it’s fully installed, the top of the fence mimics a set of stairs. Keep in mind that a stepped fence will have gaps between the ground and the bottom of the fence, so it may not keep pets within the yard. Talk to a landscaper for creative solutions, such as adding plants or attractive rocks and small boulders.

Questions to ask yourself before hiring a fencing contractor

Avoid fines and unpleasant interactions with neighbors by understanding any regulations you’ll need to follow before your fence is installed. To help you get started, here are a few questions to ask yourself before calling an Atlanta fence contractor:

  • Does my homeowners’ association regulate fence types, heights, and locations?
  • Does my county require a permit for fences?
  • Has the utility company marked the underground utility lines?
  • Have I told my neighbors that I plan to install a fence?

Gates, arbors, and other outdoor living structures

Since a fence impacts your home’s curb appeal, it’s important for it to match the other outdoor structures on your property. When you contact a Best Pick Atlanta fencing contractor, ask if they offer related services, such as:

  • Designing and building porches, sunrooms, arbors, gazebos, and foot bridges
  • Installing gates and gate operators
  • Building custom outdoor living spaces
