Fencing in Polk County

Fence Company in Cedartown, GA

Older platting and irregular lots. A Cedartown fence gets laid out instead of measured, and that's the whole difference.

4,050 homes on lots nobody drew from a template

Cedartown was laid out long before anybody was planning subdivisions, and its 4,050 homes, sit on lots that aren't rectangles. Boundaries meet at angles nobody planned, and back lines follow something that used to be there. A fence here is set out on the ground with string and a tape, not read off a plan, and that's time before it is materials.

The chain link that's already there

1974 sits in the middle of the Cedartown houses, so most fence work here involves something that's already up. Usually that's chain link, often original to the house, and often in better shape at the posts than the fabric would suggest. Before agreeing to a full replacement it's worth checking whether repair gets you where you want to be, because on a fence this old the terminals are frequently the only part that was ever done properly.

Angles cost more than length

On irregular platting the corner count is the number that matters. A straight two hundred foot run is a straightforward day. The same two hundred feet with seven changes of direction is a different job entirely, because every one of those is a braced post that has to resist pull from two directions at once. It's the reason a Cedartown estimate and a Woodstock estimate for the same footage rarely match.

More on this

The method behind all of it is on the fence company page. Post care, staining and why posts rot are in the wood fence maintenance guide, and installed ranges in the fence quote guide. Decks, porches and patios are on the Cedartown page, the county page is Polk, and the contact page is where it starts.

The old chain link has rusted but the posts seem fine. Worth saving?

Often yes. If the terminal and line posts are solid at ground level, new fabric on the existing frame is a fraction of the work of starting again.
