Homeowners install wood fences for many reasons in their Murfreesboro home.  Wood fences can add great value to a home with a well built and designed fence using the right materials and wood.  A wooden fence can also add privacy from neighbors or intruders.  Families with small children often like to add wood privacy fences to keep their children safe while playing in the yard. Still there are many additional options for wooden fences including: picket fences, farm fences, split rail, shadowbox, corral, and more.

Southern Fence Company can help you choose the best wood fence option for your family and can provide many different options for you to choose from.  Often times, a wooden fence is complimented with iron gates or stone pillars as dividers.  We can handle any job so give us a call for a free no obligation estimate.

Benefits of wood fences can include:

Lower Costs: Wooden fences are particularly inexpensive to buy and install. While maybe not the cheapest, they are no where near the most expensive while maintaining aesthetic appeal.

Customizable: Wood fences can be easily and quickly customized to suit their surrounding environment and have them customized to their unique tastes.

Maintenance: Although there is some maintenance, maintaining a wood fence is relatively easy. If a board starts to rot over time, it is very easy and cheap to replace the board versus an entire panel or fence.

An Aluminum fence will enhance your outdoor space and curb appeal with little to no maintenance.  There are so many designs & colors to choose from and Southern Fence Company will provide you with all your options.  We can custom build your aluminum fence and have it ordered for the dimensions of your outdoor space.  Unlike a wood fence, aluminum minimizes the upkeep with a fence and has a longterm, elegant, & beautiful finish.

The benefits of an aluminum fence include:

Versatility: Aluminum fencing can be adjusted to fit your landscape, so you can use it on flat surfaces as well as sloped land without worrying about ugly gaps and awkward transitions. Aluminum fencing is also great for modular wall fencing because it can be built to different height specifications and topped with spikes for security, all while following local code.

Affordability: Especially when compared with wrought iron and steel, aluminum fencing is very affordable. Although it looks as gorgeous and regal as wrought iron, it is much more readily available and it’s cheaper to manufacture. Plus, although its upfront cost is more than most wood fences, it doesn’t require additional upkeep costs and maintenance.

Durability: Chemically, aluminum is not very vulnerable to corrosion, so unlike iron, aluminum fencing will not rust. It also won’t rot or fade, so you don’t need to worry about moisture or sunlight damaging it over time.

Low-Maintenance: You do not need to repaint or re-stain an aluminum fence, unlike wrought iron and wood. Although you may need to hose down the fence from time to time if you want a spotless fence, regular maintenance isn’t necessary.

Beauty: With all of the different colors and styles available, aluminum fencing will be a welcome and beautiful addition to any yard. It provides all the elegance and stateliness of iron without the cost, maintenance, and rust.

Many people don’t think about vinyl/PVC fences when they are considering a fence for their Murfreesboro home. There are many advantages to a vinyl fence including:

Minimal Maintenance: This is the biggest reason to consider vinyl fences. Vinyl fencing can easily be cleaned with a hose, and it requires little to no maintenance. Vinyl retains its color wonderfully, so you won’t have to worry about staining or repainting like you would with a wooden fence.

Strength & Flexibility: Vinyl is about five times stronger than wood and it won’t decompose or fall prey to rust or pests, so you can expect it to last for decades. Plus, since vinyl doesn’t absorb moisture, it won’t blister, rot, or peel. It can also withstand harsh winds and precipitation.

Affordability: Vinyl fences are considerably cheaper than wood or aluminum and the low maintenance make this a great option.

Privacy: Unlike aluminum or iron, vinyl fencing can offer complete privacy with up to 6′ to 8′ panels. One-piece panels are available, eliminating the usual spaces between individual posts. Because of this, vinyl fencing is perfect for backyards, pool enclosures, and perimeter fences hiding dumpsters or mechanical equipment.

Attractive Aesthetics: Vinyl fencing is available in a variety of different styles, from privacy and picket fences to ornamental and post-and-rail fences.

Lifetime Warranty: Most vinyl fences come with a lifetime warranty, providing you with comfort and confidence as your fence faces formidable foes like winter weather and strong winds.

It can go up quickly and it’ll keep a space secure. Here are some of the benefits of chain link fences.

Affordability: Compared to other types of fencing, chain link is a low cost option. Nonetheless, it can hold up over the longer term.

Fast Install: If you need fencing to be put up in a hurry—whether for commercial or residential purposes—chain link is likely the best option for you.

Southern Fence Company provides beautiful wood board and rail farm fences in Murfreesboro, TN and the surrounding area. The good old farm fence is still by far my personal favorite. I love design, elegance, and simplicity and the farm fence has all the above. It is a piece of art that can’t be reduced to a science.

Posts are spaced every eight feet and typically three or four boards run horizontally. Under the seasoned and artistic eye of our professional fence team, it flows smoothly over hills and gently curves around property lines and is possibly the most profound way to showcase your estate. It draws your guests into your home with a country welcome.

You may decide to leave your board fence a natural wood color or paint it a bright and distinguishing white. Or my personal favorite: soak the wood board fence in a waste oil or other natural oils to bring out a deep warm color; almost black. This looks best when your property has a rustic country style. Whichever you choose, the board fence is one of the greatest assets you can use to enhance your property’s value appearance, general feel, and style.

Though the board farm fence requires more maintenance than a wire fence, I believe if you take pride in your property you will find the extra effort well spent.

A fence gate is an extremely important factor to consider when looking at all of the elements of a new fence. You can have the best looking fence in the neighbor hood installed but if the wrong type of fence gate is installed, or wrong color or size, it can make the fence look off-putting.

Your fence gate should somewhat match the look and feel of your fence. It doesn’t necessarily need to match the material however if you have a chain link fence, you probably don’t want a wood fence. On the other hand, we have installed wrought iron gates on wood fences which can look beautiful. We can offer up suggestions on the types of gates for your new fence.

A fence gate serves many different functions other than just for you to walk in and out of and there are many things to consider when deciding on your fence gate(s). One major consideration is how many fence gates do you need. Many homeowners only think about the one fence gate on the side of their home to go in and out of however what about the back of the fence? Does your home back up to a wooded area or another part of your yard that is not fenced in that you need easy access to? Would you ever have a need to have a gate on both sides of your home for easier access to?

Another thing to think about is how big the gate needs to be. If you have a larger lawn and use a lawn mower with a wide deck, then you will want to ensure the gate is wide enough to allow for this. Or even if you have hired a lawn care company to mow for you, they often charge less if they can get their commercial mowers to the back. In addition, if you have a trailer or boat you want to get back their, this is always a consideration on the size of your fence gate.
