  • How durable are chain link fences?

    Chain link fences offer excellent durability, effectively protecting properties while withstanding Middle Tennessee's weather conditions. They are resistant to typical physical damage from sources such as falling branches, children, and animals. Adding a colored PVC coating can enhance the fence's appearance and provide additional protection against corrosion, further extending its lifespan.
  • Do I need to get my property surveyed before my fence is installed?

    While not all townships require a survey for permit issuance, obtaining one is the most accurate way to determine your property boundaries. Investing in a survey before hiring fence contractors can be beneficial, especially if you're unsure about your exact property lines.
  • What is the best way to handle a tree in a fence line?

    The optimal solution for dealing with a tree in a fence line is to remove both the tree and its stump. If this isn't feasible, alternative approaches include creating a subtle 'V' around the tree, constructing a box enclosure, or interrupting the fence at the tree and resuming on the other side, using welded wire to enclose the area around the tree. It's important to note that even experienced fence companies cannot install fencing through a tree.
