Fence Company in Dalton, GA

13,440 homes on ground that won't sit still

The ground in Dalton drops 741 feet between one edge of the city and the other, more than anywhere else we work, and 13,440 homes sit somewhere on that fall. A fence is one of the few things a homeowner builds that has to hold a straight line across ground that doesn't have one. On the steeper streets in this city a hundred foot run can drop more than a full panel height, and that's a layout problem before it is a materials problem.

Older houses, and a lot of fence already standing

Dalton houses are older than 1982 as often as they're newer, so most of the work here is replacing or repairing what's already on the line. A great deal of it is chain link, which is the material that ages best on a slope because the fabric can be tensioned to follow the ground without stepping. Where a chain link fence has gone slack instead of gone entirely, retensioning and repair costs a fraction of replacement and is genuinely worth asking about.

Terminal posts do all the work

On any tensioned fence, the corner and end posts carry every pound of load in the line and the posts in between mostly hold the fabric up. On steep ground the load is higher and the direction it pulls changes at every grade break, so a fence that stands for twenty years and one that leans in three usually differ only in how the terminals were set. It's invisible from the street and it's the whole job.
