A rural locality on Highway 20 between Williamston and Belton

Cheddar is not a town and never was one. It is a rural community along South Carolina Highway 20 between Williamston and Belton, with mail going out under Belton and Williamston addresses. The landmark most people use to place it is the Cheddar Volunteer Fire Department on Highway 20, which serves as Station 12 of the Anderson County Fire Service. It shows up on the USGS quad as Belton East.

Highway 20 itself runs from Abbeville up through Belton and Williamston toward Greenville, which means the corridor through Cheddar carries real traffic past properties with long road frontage. That combination, fast road and deep lots, is why so much of the fencing here is about the road side rather than the neighbor side.

There is no municipal government and no city fence ordinance covering Cheddar. This is unincorporated Anderson County, and South Carolina sets no statewide fence permit and no state height limit, so county regulation plus anything recorded against your deed is the entire rulebook.

We will not pretend Cheddar has more character than it does. It is pasture, woods, a fire station and houses set well back off the highway, and the fencing that suits it is the plain, durable kind.

What acreage changes about a fence

Length rules everything. On a 40 foot back yard run the material barely moves the total, but on a 900 foot property line it decides whether the job happens. That is why the honest answer here is usually woven wire field fence, barbed wire or two rail cedar rather than a privacy panel you could not afford to carry across the whole parcel.

Where the money actually goes on a long run is the corners. A stretched wire fence pulls hard at every direction change, and a corner set like an ordinary line post will lean inside a season and take the tension out of the entire span behind it. We build H braces or heavy set terminals sized for the pull, and we would rather spend on four good corners than on heavier wire in between.

Ground conditions here are the same Cecil series red clay that covers the Piedmont, kaolinite heavy so it holds its shape but drains slowly. A narrow hole becomes a bucket that keeps a post wet at grade, which is where wood rots and steel corrodes, so hole diameter and depth get chosen for saturated clay and wind load rather than for frost.

48 inches of rain a yearFalls on Anderson County against a US average of 38, and on a long rural line that water collects in the low spots where the posts will fail first.
