Frequently Asked Questions
The cost of a fence depends upon several factors. The main determining factors consist of what type of fence material is selected, the style of fence being built, what type and how many gates are installed, and, of course, how many linear feet of fence is required. (Linear footage is calculated by measuring the perimeter of the area that the fence will be built on.) For privacy fences, wood is the most economical material choice.

When your backyard backs up against your neighbor’s yard, you’ll want a privacy fence with a height that gives you the most privacy. Usually, this can be accomplished with a 6ft height. But we can do height transitions higher or lower than 6ft in order to give you more privacy or more view depending on your preference.
If your backyard does not back up against a neighbor, but to a green space or pond, our ornamental iron fence is a popular choice. Your yard may be perfect for a picket fence or a chain link fence if privacy is not a priority.
The land rights may vary in your area. So, it may be necessary to check with your local tax assessor’s office office. However, the ownership of an existing fence is typically the same owner of the land for which the fence is installed upon. We do not conduct any property surveys nor do we imply property lines. If there is an existing fence, you should check with your neighbors to be certain the fence is yours. When there is doubt, it may be necessary to hire a survey company to mark the property lines.
Our pine fencing products are pressure-treated to make them resistant to insects, rot, and damage. However, our cedar fencing is naturally resistant to insects, rot, and decay. Therefore, cedar fences do not usually require pressure treatment.
For the best protection on wood fences, we recommend applying a quality stain and seal product.
When fences are installed using pre-fabricated panels, fencing slopes and irregular ground levels can be difficult to properly fence. You will usually get large gaps at the bottom areas and uneven capping.
We do NOT use pre-fabricated fence panels. We build custom fences. Custom fences (or stick-built fences) allow us to better follow the lay-of-the-land (topography) and gives a much smoother transition. We can include custom transitions as an upgrade to your fence installation.
The turnaround time for fence installation depends on several factors such as type of fence, length of fence to be installed, and site conditions. Project time would also be affected by the removal of any existing fence if required. Usually, our installation takes 2 days here in the Mid-South area. If we’re also removing an old fence, the total time would be 3 to 4 days. Please ask your sales representative for scheduling details.
Each fence comes with a different type of warranty or guarantee of performance provided by the manufacturer. We offer a 1-Year Limited Workmanship Warranty on top of the manufacturer warranty. Please see the warranty section of our Resources page for complete details.

Vinyl fencing is highly durable and built to withstand harsh weather, including high humidity, rain, and intense sun; common in Mississippi and Tennessee climates. It resists fading, warping, and cracking, making it a low-maintenance, long-lasting fencing solution.
Vinyl and composite fencing are ideal for homeowners who want a durable, stylish fence without constant upkeep. Both options resist rot, mold, and insects, and only require occasional cleaning with soap and water to stay looking new.
Yes! Wood fencing adds timeless curb appeal and can increase the resale value of your home. It offers a warm, natural look that can be customized to match your home’s exterior, making it a popular choice in suburban and rural areas across the Mid-South.
Chain link and ornamental iron fences offer excellent security while maintaining visibility across your property. They are durable, hard to climb, and ideal for homeowners or businesses that need strong perimeter fencing without obstructing the view.
Vinyl and composite fences are great for families with children and pets. They have smooth, splinter-free surfaces and no sharp edges, making them a safer option for yards, play areas, and dog runs.

Wood Fence FAQs
A Shadowbox, board-on-board, alternates pickets on both sides of the rail. It looks premium, provides full privacy when viewed straight on, and allows a little airflow and soft visibility at angles. A standard privacy fence has pickets on one side only, which blocks sightlines but has less airflow.

Cap & Trim adds a finished top cap and vertical trim, which protects picket ends, improves water shedding, and delivers a clean, custom look. You can personalize it with lattice, decorative post caps, or detailed trim to match your home.
Pressure-treated pine is budget-friendly and durable, great for value and longevity. Western red cedar is naturally rot and insect resistant with a rich color and minimal warping. Japanese cedar, often lighter in weight, offers a refined grain and stable performance with an elevated look.
Our pine fencing products are pressure-treated to make them resistant to insects, rot, and damage. However, our cedar fencing is naturally resistant to insects, rot, and decay. Therefore, cedar fences do not usually require pressure treatment.
For the best protection on wood fences, we recommend applying a quality stain and seal product.
They are very customizable. You can choose board width, top profile, gaps, decorative accents, post caps, gate style, stain or paint color, and layout transitions, for example stepping grades, mixing heights, or integrating lattice. We design to your property and HOA guidelines.
Post & Rail, ranch style, is ideal for large properties and rural settings where you want an open look. For pets or small livestock, we can add discreet welded wire or mesh to the inside, which keeps the aesthetic while adding containment.
Once the wood has dried to an appropriate moisture level. In our climate, that usually means waiting a few weeks to a few months depending on weather and species. We will advise a timeline at your walkthrough, then you can seal, stain, or paint for protection.

You can combine white, tan, and black components for posts, rails, and pickets, and we can add textures (wood-grain looks), lattice/top accents, and decorative caps to match your home or HOA guidelines.
Quality vinyl includes UV inhibitors to resist fading. Normal surface grime can be rinsed off; for mildew or algae, a mild detergent or vinegar solution usually restores the finish.
Yes, vinyl has smooth edges, no splinters, and consistent spacing. We can adjust picket spacing, height, and gate latches to improve safety and containment.
Absolutely. We can build to compliant heights and spacing and install self-closing, self-latching gates. Tell us your municipality/HOA and we’ll spec accordingly.
Common options are 2-rail, 3-rail, and 4-rail. For dogs, small livestock, or garden areas, we can add discreet welded wire/mesh inside the rails to keep the open look while adding containment.
Posts are set in concrete, and panels are engineered to flex slightly without breaking. Proper post spacing, depth, and hardware selection help your fence handle local wind conditions.

Metal Fence FAQs
Ornamental iron delivers a heavier, more substantial feel and higher impact resistance than lightweight aluminum, and, with the right protective coatings, offers excellent corrosion resistance and long-term structural integrity. Many homeowners choose iron for its security, presence, and timeless look.
Want to get a better idea of fence cost? Get a no-obligation, QUICK QUOTE.
We use professional protective systems, typically a prep/cleaning stage, a corrosion-inhibiting base (e.g., zinc-rich or conversion layer), and a durable powder-coat top finish. This multi-step process seals the surface against moisture and UV, helping the fence keep its color and sheen for years.
Yes. We can spec compliant heights, picket spacing, and self-closing, self-latching gates. Tell us your city/HOA, and we’ll match the applicable pool barrier requirements.
Choose flat-top, spear-top, or decorative finials; rings, scrolls, or knuckles; and a variety of rail/picket profiles. We can also integrate custom panels or monograms for a one-of-a-kind look.
Absolutely. We fabricate single walk gates and double drive gates, plus operators, keypads, remotes, and access control for residential, commercial, and industrial entrances.
Yes. The weight, rigidity, and climb-resistant profiles create a formidable barrier. We can add features like tighter picket spacing, anti-tamper hardware, and strategic heights for higher-security applications.
Posts are set in concrete and panels are engineered for strength. Proper post depth, spacing, and bracing help the system withstand local wind conditions while maintaining alignment.

Chain Link Fence FAQs
Galvanized is the classic, most cost-effective option with zinc corrosion protection. Vinyl-coated adds a colored polymer jacket (e.g., black/green/brown) for longer life and a cleaner look. Slatted chain link adds privacy inserts to galvanized or vinyl-coated fabric for semi-private to near-full privacy.
Want to get a better idea of fence cost? Get a no-obligation, QUICK QUOTE.
Common heights are 4′, 5′, 6′, and 8’+ for commercial sites. Typical wire gauges range from residential 11/11.5 ga to heavier 9 ga; mesh sizes are commonly 2″ (with tighter options available). We’ll spec the combo that fits your use, budget, and local codes.
Depending on slat style and mesh size, coverage typically ranges from about 75% to 95% visual blockage. Tighter mesh plus premium slats increase privacy. We’ll show samples so you can compare.
Yes, chain link can be built to pool-code heights with self-closing, self-latching gates, and to security specs with heavier gauge, tighter mesh, and add-ons like rail stiffeners or barbed wire where allowed.
Popular vinyl-coat colors are black, green, and brown; slats are available in matching solids plus variegated/wood-grain looks to mimic privacy fencing. We’ll help you pair fabric, framework, and slats for a consistent finish.
Galvanized fabric resists rust; vinyl-coated adds another weatherproof layer. Proper post depth, concrete footings, and tensioning keep the fence aligned through storms and temperature swings.
Add bottom tension wire or a bottom rail to reduce gaps, smaller mesh for small dogs, and self-closing latch hardware on gates. For high-energy dogs, we recommend heavier gauge fabric and reinforced gate frames.

Wire Fence FAQs
Barbed wire uses strands of wire with sharp barbs for deterrence, great for perimeter security and large pastures. Woven wire is a mesh grid that physically contains animals (or excludes wildlife) with minimal gaps, ideal for livestock, gardens, and crop protection.
Want to get a better idea of fence cost? Get a no-obligation, QUICK QUOTE.
Cattle: barbed or high-tensile woven (fixed-knot)
Horses: no-barb woven (2×4” or 4×4” openings) to prevent hoof catch
Goats/Sheep: tight woven mesh (e.g., 4×4” or smaller)
Dogs/Chickens/Garden: small-opening woven (e.g., 2×4” or smaller) for containment/exclusion
Options include common woven openings like 2×4”, 4×4”, and field-fence patterns (graduated spacing), and strand/barb configurations for barbed wire. We’ll spec gauge, tension, and spacing based on species, terrain, and budget.
We use quality galvanized and coated products (e.g., Class III galvanization or zinc-aluminum coatings) plus proper bracing, corner assemblies, and tensioning. That combo resists rust and keeps fabric tight for years.
Yes. We frequently add woven or welded wire to the inside of a post-and-rail fence. It keeps the classic ranch look while providing real containment for pets and livestock.
Some neighborhoods, HOAs, and cities restrict barbed wire or require setbacks. We’ll help you verify local rules and propose compliant alternatives (e.g., smooth high-tensile or woven) if needed.
Yes, tight woven mesh, bottom apron/mesh, or coyote rollers depending on the threat level and local regulations. These barriers will prevent wildlife from crossing through.

Pipe & Cable Fence FAQs
Heavy-duty steel pipe won’t rot, warp, or attract pests. It resists livestock pressure and weather, delivering decades of service with minimal upkeep.
Want to get a better idea of fence cost? Get a no-obligation, QUICK QUOTE.
Common builds use steel pipe for posts and rails in 2–4 rail layouts, sized to the application (cattle, horses, arenas, perimeters). We’ll spec height, rail count, and post spacing to your needs.
We recommend professional prep plus protective coatings (e.g., primer + industrial enamel or powder coat). Galvanized components are also available for enhanced corrosion resistance.
Yes. We step or rack sections, set posts in concrete to proper depth, and add bracing where needed so the fence tracks your terrain securely.
Yes, smooth, solid rails are horse-friendly when properly spaced. We can add no-climb wire in sensitive areas for foals or to prevent pawing under rails.
Pipe is a rigid, high-impact barrier; cable uses tensioned steel strands for strength with open visibility. Cable is great where you want containment without blocking views.
Cables are tightened during install and may need a quick re-tension check after the first season and periodically thereafter. Otherwise, upkeep is minimal, just occasional inspections.

Composite Fence FAQs
Composite costs more upfront than wood or vinyl, but it looks more “wood-like” than vinyl and far outlasts wood. It won’t rot, crack, or splinter and needs virtually no ongoing painting or sealing.
Want to get a better idea of fence cost? Get a no-obligation, QUICK QUOTE.
Very little. Rinse periodically and spot-clean with mild soap and water. No annual sealing, staining, or repainting required.
Composite systems typically carry a 25-year manufacturer warranty on material defects (fading, staining, rot/insect resistance vary by brand). Our workmanship warranty covers the installation itself.
Our pine fencing products are pressure-treated to make them resistant to insects, rot, and damage. However, our cedar fencing is naturally resistant to insects, rot, and decay. Therefore, cedar fences do not usually require pressure treatment.
For the best protection on wood fences, we recommend applying a quality stain and seal product.
Yes. Most composite boards use recycled plastics and wood fibers (often ~90% recycled content) with no harmful preservatives—great for families, pets, and surrounding soil.
Quality composite includes UV stabilizers to minimize fading. A small, uniform weathering “settle” is normal in the first weeks; after that, color holds very well with basic cleaning.
Nearly any style you can build in wood—full privacy, horizontal, board-on-board looks, accent toppers, and custom gates—at common residential heights (4’–8′), subject to local code/HOA.

Semi-Privacy Fence FAQs
A semi-privacy fence offers a balance of seclusion and airflow, limiting outside visibility while allowing light and air to pass through. It’s ideal for homeowners who want privacy without feeling completely closed in.
Unlike a full privacy fence that fully blocks the view, a semi-privacy fence has small gaps or design features that maintain airflow and partial visibility.
Popular options include wood, vinyl, and composite. Chain link fences with privacy slats can also create a semi-private look and feel.
Yes, the small gaps in the design reduce wind resistance, which can help minimize the risk of wind damage compared to a solid fence.

Perimeter Fence FAQs
A perimeter fence is a boundary fence that surrounds your property, clearly defining its borders while adding security and curb appeal. In Memphis and the Mid-South, perimeter fencing is essential for protecting homes, businesses, schools, and industrial sites from trespassing, theft, and unauthorized access. It also adds structure and value to your property.
Heritage Fence installs perimeter fencing in a variety of materials, including chain link for cost-effective durability, wood for a natural appearance, vinyl for low-maintenance style, and ornamental metal for maximum strength and elegance. Each option can be customized to fit your property’s security needs and design preferences.
The cost of a perimeter fence depends on factors such as material choice, fence height, property size, and installation conditions. On average, chain link is the most budget-friendly option, while ornamental metal and vinyl offer premium durability and style. Heritage Fence provides free, no-obligation estimates tailored to your specific project.
Yes. Perimeter fencing is one of the most effective ways to secure commercial and industrial facilities, including warehouses, schools, government buildings, and manufacturing plants. Chain link with barbed wire, ornamental steel, or aluminum perimeter fences provide a strong deterrent against unauthorized entry while complying with local codes.
Maintenance depends on the material. Chain link and vinyl perimeter fences require little upkeep beyond occasional cleaning. Wood fences should be stained or sealed regularly to prevent weather damage, while ornamental metal fences may need periodic inspections for rust or wear. Heritage Fence offers guidance on maintaining your investment for long-term performance.
In many cases, a permit is required for new fence installation in Memphis and nearby areas. Regulations vary depending on fence height, materials, and location on the property. Our team at Heritage Fence will help you navigate city codes, zoning laws, and any HOA guidelines to ensure your perimeter fence installation is fully compliant.
In residential areas, perimeter fences typically range from 4 to 6 feet tall, while commercial and industrial properties may allow higher fences for security purposes. HOA regulations may further restrict style, color, and height. Heritage Fence reviews all local requirements with you to design a perimeter fence that meets both code and your needs.
Chain link perimeter fencing is cost-effective, durable, and ideal for securing large areas such as athletic fields, warehouses, and distribution centers. It provides clear boundary definition, can be installed quickly, and can include privacy slats or barbed wire for added security.
The lifespan of a perimeter fence depends on the material. Chain link fences can last 20+ years with minimal upkeep, while vinyl and ornamental metal offer decades of durability with little maintenance. Wood perimeter fences have a shorter lifespan but can be extended with staining, sealing, and proper care.
