Wood fences are a great way to add privacy, security, and curb appeal to your backyard property.
Wood fences are a popular, affordable, and effective way to fence in backyards and properties. Wood fences can be installed in a variety of styles that add privacy, security, and curb appeal to any property.
At Jackson Fence Company, we know what Tennessee homeowners like - strong, beautiful fences for their homes. This is why our team concentrates on building to a higher standard. All of our residential wood fences are built to ASTM Standards (or better) and come with a LIFETIME Workmanship Warranty.
Standard privacy fences, shadowbox fences, picket fences, cap and trim fences, board-on-board fences, triple crown fences and full custom fences - you're sure to find the perfect fence for your backyard!
There are many styles of wood fencing and we've included our most popular ones below.
The wood fence style is constructed with an overlapping pattern of vertical pickets where every other board is attached to the opposite side of the fence rails, creating airflow.
Among the most traditional privacy fence styles, stockade fences are constructed with wood boards that are placed tightly against one another, giving you a solid panel.
Alternating boards on either side of the rail create an attractive look on both sides of the fence, which is one of the best features of a wood shadowbox fence.
A modern approach to the traditional wood picket fence is to use flat top or dog-eared pickets to create that decorative boundary.
A wood post and rail fence is an economical and attractive way of enclosing large spaces or marking the boundaries of your property.
Horizontal wood fences are a contemporary variation of standard wood fencing styles. This style is a perfect pairing with modern-style homes.

The Top of Your Wood Fence Can Be Customized In A Countless Number of Ways to Match YOUR Style!
Wood fencing can be customized and finished in a number of ways! Once you choose the style of fence that best suits your needs, don't forget to consider these different finishing options that further enhance the style and design of your custom wood fence!
Make sure to consult with our fence experts. Not all custom finishes are available for each of the different fence styles! We can help you design your perfect fence!
Do you see a design you like?
A top cap and trim can be added to many fence styles to give it a truly finished look. If craftsmanship and attention-to-detail is your style - our various cap and trim options may be the perfect choice to finish off your custom wood fence!
The dog ear design is common choice for wood privacy fences in Jackson Tennessee because it provides a touch of flair without taking away from the fence's simple beauty or privacy.
The tops of our pickets can be shaped into the traditional Gothic shape - which is very popular for wood fences with a more traditional style.
The tops of our pickets can be shaped into a decorative French Gothic shape - which maintains a traditional look while adding a slightly more decorative flair.
Another popular choice for wood fences in Jackson Tennessee is the convex top cut. Just about every style of wood fencing can be finished with the convex cut – including wood picket fences.
Some of our Jackson Tennessee clients choose the concave top cut, the inverse of the more popular convex top cut. It's entirely up to you to decide what looks best and how you want your house or business to appear.
Lattice can be added to the top of many of our custom wood fence styles – adding a whole new dimension of beauty and elegance to your fence. Lattice can often also be added to gates to match ... or to make them stand out even more!
Choose the type of wood you prefer for the right level of quality and price point for your new wood fence project!
Pressure-treated wood is the most common economical, standard option for wood fences of all styles and sizes.
If you're looking for a dense, stronger type of wood, cedar is the best option for you. Coming at a higher price point, it is also the higher quality of the wood options.
When you have questions or are looking for information to get started on your fence project, our team is glad to help! Simply reach out by phone or our online form, and get the answers you need!
There are four main components that determine the strength and longevity of a wood fence at properties across Jackson Tennessee.
Naturally beautiful wood posts, pickets, rails, and wood finish join forces to form this sturdy fencing option. Constructed from American grown western red cedar or pressure treated pine, Jackson Fence Company has the expertise necessary to combine the key features of a wood fence to meet and exceed your expectations.
There is simply no way to stress enough - the importance of strong posts that are properly installed for the strength and life of your wood fence!
When properly installed by our expert fence team, our wood fence posts will stand strong and last for years. Quality matters! Our wood fences are built and expertly installed to look great and to stand the test of time! It all starts with a strong fence post!
All of our wood fence posts, rails, and pickets are expertly chosen and installed, to maximize the life of your wood fence in Jackson Tennessee.
Did you know that there are different grades and types of wood? Our professional-grade wood rails are what separates us from many of our competitors. Our rails are of a higher grade than other options we see across the Jackson Tennessee region. This is an important difference, because the horizontal rails fail frequently on lower-quality wood fences. We see it all the time!
People sitting on the top of the fence, climbing the fence, leaning heavy objects against the fence, or branches falling onto the top of the fence can all easily damage a low-quality wood fence rail! Rot, splitting, warping ... these are all much more likely and much more severe with lower quality wood materials. Our wood fences are built to last and a key reason our wood fences last so long and look like new - is because of the higher quality wood fencing materials we install for our residential and our commercial clients.
All of our wood fence posts, rails, and pickets are expertly chosen and installed, to maximize the life of your wood fence in Jackson Tennessee.
Just like our posts and our rails, we install high-quality wood fence pickets. The thicker, wider, and higher-density wood cost a little more than the cheap wood sold at big box stores - however wood fences across Jackson Tennessee take a lot of abuse and our high-quality pickets are proven to be more resilient! For wood fences that last and look great, high-quality wood pickets are a must!
All of our wood fence posts, rails, and pickets are expertly chosen and installed, to maximize the life of your wood fence in Jackson Tennessee.
The type of wood you choose for your wood fence will determine the look as well as provide protection against Jackson Tennessee elements. The type of wood used to construct your fence will have an effect on the look of the finish. Jackson Fence Company is proud to offer American grown western red cedar or pressure-treated pine. For convenience, prestained pine is available to be installed. Choosing a paint, stain, or sealer after installation to match your personal preference is another way to create a long-lasting wood finish that will enhance the beauty of your wood fence.
There are far too many advantages of wood fencing to mention, but here are a few that are key to those considering a wood fence around their Jackson Tennessee property.
We only use quality cedar for our wood fences for its durability and strength. Cedar wood is naturally resistant to rot and insect damage, giving it a longer lifespan than other wood fences. Our skilled installation team is fully trained in the most effective and efficient methods to ensure that your wood fence will last for years to come.
The natural charm of wood fencing looks great in practically any setting. The quality of the wood will shine through whether you choose an open picket fence or a tall privacy style and will surely make a beautiful border for your home and enhance your curb appeal.
An expertly installed wood fence that has been properly maintained will look great for many years and will stand up to the Jackson Tennessee climate. Our skillfully made wood fences are a great fencing solution!
Wood fence is very popular in Jackson Tennessee. With an endless possibility of styles, we can design and build a fence that fits both your budget and your backyard.
Our most common fence is the standard privacy, dog-eared, fence. The shadow-box fence is our second most popular option. Most of our lumber is either Western Red Cedar or Pressure-Treated Pine - each has its own benefits. We also enjoy doing custom wood fences and creating a style that is unique to your backyard. Wood fences last a long time, are easy to maintain and repair, and have become a staple to the West Tennessee Backyard.
Residential wood fencing is a popular choice for homeowners looking to add privacy, security, and customizable appeal to their property.
Commercial wood fencing is a great option for businesses looking to add security, aesthetic appeal, and natural charm to their property.
Due to its natural beauty and excellent versatility, wood fencing is a reliable option for many different settings in the Jackson Tennessee area.
Secure, durable, and attractive, privacy stockade fencing is one of the most popular styles of wood fencing. Create safety and security with one of our full-privacy or semi-privacy options.
Keep your pets safely enclosed with an attractive wood fence. Available in many options and styles, wood fencing provides the perfect solution for protecting your furry friends.
From picket fences to custom board-on-board looks and everything in between, wood fencing offers attractive options that are aesthetically pleasing and guaranteed to boost curb appeal.

The best scenario when having a fence installed is to have a perfectly flat, level yard. Unfortunately, this is rarely the case. Let's explore how fence professionals at Jackson Fence Company can design the perfect solution for your situation.
The best scenario when having a fence installed is to have a perfectly flat, level yard. Unfortunately, this is rarely the case. At first glance, many yards appear to be mostly flat and level. However, a closer usually reveals slopes and dips in your yard that can have a dramatic impact on the installation of your fence.
Don't worry! There are many ways to install a beautiful fence on sloping or uneven ground!

Homeowners will often ask that their fence is “level” … which is totally understandable. However, a level fence on uneven or sloping ground is probably NOT what you really want!
As you can see here, if your yard slopes or dips, a level fence may not be the right approach.

In some cases, a property might have a consistent slope from front to back or side to side. If this is the case, matching the slope of the ground yields a beautiful “straight”, sloping fence line.
Many people love the look of this approach.

Another way to handle a sloping yard is to use a “stepped” approach. Each individual fence panel is level and steps down, consistent with the slope of the yard.
Depending on the steepness of the slope, each fence panel is at ground level on one end, but can be several inches off the ground on the other. For this reason, if the look of a “stepped” approach is your preference, we only recommend it for gradual slopes.

Another great solution for sloping yards is to add a decorative retaining wall along the perimeter and to build the fence on top of the wall.
By doing this, you get to have the level stepped approach while maintaining excellent ground level integrity.

Shown here is the most common approach to uneven and sloping ground. The fence simply follows the contour of the land. The “rolling”, “flowing” fence line closely matches the ground - creating the most natural look for a fence.
We carefully place posts at key points along the perimeter to most closely match the contour of the land … but there are limitations to how closely we can match sudden changes in height and contour. So small gaps are to be expected in certain points at the bottom of the fence. This is completely normal and there are ways to “hide” them if that is a concern for you (including using a decorative retaining wall as described above).

The “stepped” approach is often used for ground that is both sloping and uneven. This is really a matter of preference but for ground that is “wavy”, this may not yield the desired result, as the fence can look very “choppy” (as shown here).
Stepped or rolling with the contours - sometimes it's just a matter of personal preference. We've done it both ways, many times.

For the ultimate in customization, another option MIGHT be to install the fence perfectly level, then we extend the bottom of the fence to match the contours of the ground.
This is almost exclusively available as an option for WOOD FENCES only.
This requires a lot more planning and calculation. This equates to more time - meaning a higher cost. Much longer wood posts, rails, and pickets may also be needed - which also increases costs.
Another issue is, by design - the bottom rails are not level and are not evenly spaced. The bottom rails simulate the contour of the ground below it - which is a look that not everyone likes. So while the top of the fence is perfectly straight and level, the bottom most certainly is not!

Call UsGet the best of both worlds with a wood fence plus PostMaster posts!
At Jackson Fence Company, we always want the best for our customers. That's why we offer the option of upgrading to Postmaster or metal posts with every wood fence we install. Traditional wood posts are prone to rot and warping which can lead to expensive repairs and replacements. With PostMaster Posts, there is no need to worry about the strength of your fence over time. The design and structure of these steel posts are made to be hidden behind wooden boards as well, keeping the beautiful, natural look you love.
Building our fences with PostMaster Posts also allows us to avoid the mess of digging up our customer's backyard! Whenever possible, we install each post by driving the steel straight into the ground, avoiding the possibility of damaging landscaping or having large piles of dirt to remove by digging holes the traditional way.
Learn More About Postmaster Posts
PostMaster Posts are made of steel and will keep your wood fence strong without being susceptible to underground rot or deterioration like traditional wood posts.
No matter which style wood fence you choose, PostMaster Posts work seamlessly to give your fence a strong foundation while allowing you to enjoy the beauty of your natural wood fence appearance.

DIY Fence Estimate
If you'd like to get a rough idea on your own about how much fencing you will need, follow these easy steps:
Caution!
Wood fencing is priced and sold by SECTIONS, not by linear feet! Even when the linear footage is included specifically on price estimates ... The total number of wood fence sections is a factor in this pricing. So, "price per linear foot" is only a rough estimate and rarely represents the actual cost of the finished wood fence!
This is a very interesting difference that we would love to explore and explain to you if you'd like to speak with one of our fence experts further. Be aware, "price per linear foot" is a ploy that many unprofessional fence installers in the Jackson Tennessee area use!
Wood fencing is unique in its ability to be utilized for such a wide array of applications. Listed below are some of the most popular applications of wood fencing:
Every local municipality in Jackson Tennessee has a separate set of requirements when it comes to building permits, and that includes wood fencing. Sometimes the specific height of the fence or placement of the fence or purpose of the fence can impact the need for a permit. There are also HOA considerations in some areas.
We have installed many wood fences in just about every possible area across Jackson Tennessee so we are happy to answer these sorts of questions and/or to guide you through the process for your specific situation. This is one of the benefits of working with us!
The best way to get specific answers quickly and accurately is to simply call your town building code office.
There is no bad time of year to get a wood fence in Jackson Tennessee. As professional fencing contractors, we build fences across Jackson Tennessee all year!
There are certain times during the year when our installation schedule is busier, but our fence team always does its best to get you the fence you need right when you need it. Reach out today to find out what our current schedule looks like! We always have room for one more fence!
Fence placement is ultimately the responsibility of you, the customer. Moving a fence after it's already been installed can be costly, so it's never a bad idea to get a survey to be safe. In many cases, the property lines are clear and well-marked and installing your fence can be done without an official survey. However, some municipalities do require it, so be sure to check!
There are many small fence companies in Jackson Tennessee that install wood fencing. Very few of them specifically train their teams on the best installation techniques and practices for designing, building, and installing wood fencing. Unfortunately, this means that your wood fence is almost certainly not installed as securely as it could be - which, ultimately, can reduce the quality and lifespan of your fence.
Be sure to choose a reliable fence company that has been around. Here are some of the most common pitfalls of using an unreliable, unlicensed, or uninsured wood fencing contractor:
The Wood Fence Warranty is Void
If the company that installed your wood fence isn't still in business down the road, the workmanship warranty on the fence and the gates is worthless. Additionally, even if you do choose the few wood fence products and options that do come with material warranties - some manufacturers won't warranty their fence material if it was damaged during installation or installed improperly - which is fairly common.
The Fence Almost Certainly Won't Last As Long
As a professional fencing contractor, our team of installers undergoes rigorous training and constant professional supervision. We are dedicated to improving our knowledge and skills of the best fencing materials and the best fence installation techniques for wood fencing in order to maximize the strength and life of your fence. Companies that simply install fences as something they do "on the side" usually have no idea how much they actually don't know about wood fencing ... and what is best for you and your property.
Putting Your Property at Risk
Installing wood fences in the Jackson Tennessee area is actually somewhat risky. Sudden, harsh weather during the installation of a fence can blow materials - damaging your business or customer's cars. We've seen concrete splatter up onto cars or drip down long stretches of walkways and driveways - as wet concrete or other materials are transported. The secondary damage to businesses or your customers' vehicles while installing fences by poorly trained labor is a very common thing.
Additionally, anyone hurt on your property while they are working puts you at risk! If you hire an unqualified fencing contractor - you may be liable.
At first glance, hiring a "cheaper" fence company to install your wood fence may appear to save you a few dollars, but in the long run it is almost certainly a price that you simply cannot afford to pay!
