Fencing a new yard, closing in pasture for cattle or horses, or putting a neat fence along the road out front? Tell us what the fence is for and roughly how far it runs.
Fence types
- Chain link: galvanized or black-coated, a durable pick for dogs and property lines.
- Vinyl: privacy, picket and ranch-rail styles that never need paint.
- Wood: privacy and picket fences in pressure-treated pine.
- Field and farm fence: woven or welded wire for goats, horses, cattle and gardens.
- Gates: walk gates and wide drive gates for trucks, mowers and trailers.
Clay, rock and rolling ground
McMinn County lots roll more than they look, red clay holds water and limestone rock turns up in post holes. Clearing the line, setting posts deep and planning around rock keep a new fence standing straight.
