Decatur Fence Questions
The Meigs County seat — farm ground with Watts Bar frontage along the eastern edge.
Do you serve Meigs County?
Yes — we expanded service into Meigs and Rhea counties, covering Decatur, Ten Mile and Georgetown. Farm and pasture fence, chain link, wood privacy and gates.
Do I need a permit for a fence in Decatur?
Requirements vary by jurisdiction and zoning district, and Tennessee publishes no statewide residential fence code. Confirm with the town or county before construction — the property owner obtains any permit and we require a copy before installing.
What fence works best on Meigs County pasture?
Woven wire and board fence for most livestock, high-tensile on larger tracts. Corner and gate bracing determines whether the fence holds — a weak corner takes the whole run out of line within a season.
What about horses?
Board fence or a smooth wire system rather than barbed. Horses lean and push, and barbed causes injuries cattle generally avoid. Visibility matters — horses need to see the fence.
What does farm fence cost per foot?
Roughly $12 to $30 per linear foot installed depending on type, terrain and gates. An acre enclosed on four sides is about 835 feet if square. Costs by length.
Does Watts Bar frontage change anything?
Yes. Waterfront means a higher water table, so drainage at the base of the post matters more, not less. Ornamental aluminum also holds up better near water than steel does.
How deep should posts be set here?
About a third of the above-ground height, minimum near 24 inches, deeper for gate and corner posts. Expansive clay swells wet and shrinks dry, which is what works shallow posts loose. Why depth and bracing decide it.
Who is responsible for a fence between two farms?
A partition fence under Tennessee Code 44-8-202 — adjoining owners generally share the cost of building and repairing it. Where one property is agricultural and the other is not, the non-agricultural owner may file a written disclaimer. Full explanation.
What if we cannot agree on cost?
Either party may ask a judge of the court of general sessions to intervene, and the judge appoints three disinterested freeholders to examine the fence and determine what is owed — a cheap alternative to a lawsuit.
Do I have to call 811 before digging?
Yes — post holes count as excavation. About three business days. On farm ground, private runs to barns, wells, pumps and septic fields are common and never marked. Full 811 guide.
