Athens, Alabama since 1983
Athens Fence Co has been setting fence and gate lines across North Alabama for over forty years, from the same address on US-31. Every post goes in concrete, whatever the material.
What that means on your property
1983
Family owned and working from 13100 US-31 in Athens since the year we opened.
In concrete
Every post, every material. No driven posts, no shortcuts on the part you cannot see.
No. 1 grade
The only lumber grade we will put in a wood fence, because the cheaper grades cup and twist.
1 year
Workmanship warranty on all work, alongside a military discount on fencing and gates.
How the work goes
The same three beats on a back yard privacy run and on a quarter mile of farm fence.
01
John Hand comes out, measures the run and listens to what the fence is actually for, whether that is a dog, a pool, a road frontage or privacy from a new build next door. Estimates come back within a week, and we answer calls and emails inside 48 hours.
02
Whatever the material, every post we set goes in concrete. It is the part of the job nobody sees once the panels go on, and it is the reason a line stays straight through Alabama clay, wet winters and the freeze and thaw that lifts a driven post.
03
A fence is judged on its gate, because that is the part the owner touches every day. We hang it square, set the hardware and come back if it drops. One customer had us re hang a pool gate at no charge, and that is the standard.
What we build
Nine materials, one standard. Wood installations use number 1 grade lumber only, and the run is set to a single post interval from the first corner to the last. Vinyl and composite for the owners who want the line to stay the same colour for twenty years, aluminum and wrought iron where the property calls for something you can see through, chain link and farm fence where the job is containment across acreage.
Wood and privacy fenceDriveway, sliding, swing, walk and custom gates, built to match the run they interrupt.
Openers, keypads, card readers and phone controlled entry, fitted to new or existing gates.
Panel and post replacement, storm damage, and emergency repair when a line comes down.
Staining, sealing and repainting once the wood has cured, to hold the finish against the weather.
Pool fence with self closing and self latching gates, dog runs, garden, security and temporary fence.
A job still standing
“I have a 20 year old fence that was installed by this company. The fence is still in great shape.”
Lou Jackson called us back two decades after the install. T.J. went out, came prepared to stay as long as it took, and put right the one thing that had moved. The fence itself did not need replacing.

Four decades of runs across the Tennessee Valley, worked out of one shop on US-31. If your town is not on the list it is still worth a call.
