Step 1: Define Your Goals & Budget

Why do you need a fence? The answer determines the best material and style. Is it for:

• Privacy: A 6-foot wood or vinyl privacy fence is ideal.
• Pet Containment: Chain link or a shorter picket fence might be perfect.
• Pool Safety: Aluminum is the top choice to meet safety codes.
• Curb Appeal: A decorative aluminum or wood picket fence adds charm.

Once you know your goal, you can set a realistic budget for materials.

Step 2: Check Local Regulations & HOA Rules

Before you buy materials, check the rules for your area. Both the city of **Fayetteville** and **Fayette County** have regulations about fence height, materials, and how far fences must be set back from property lines. If you live in a subdivision, check with your Homeowner's Association (HOA) for specific style or color requirements.

Step 3: Measure Your Property

Use a long tape measure to determine the total linear footage of your planned fence line. Make a simple sketch of your yard, marking the fence line and the location and size of any gates you'll need. This is the most important information you'll need when you come to our store for a quote.

Now for the fun part! Based on your goals, budget, and local rules, you can choose your material. Consider factors like maintenance (wood needs staining, vinyl doesn't) and durability in the Georgia climate. Our experts can walk you through the pros and cons of each option.
