Fence Company in West Pelzer, SC

Anderson Fence Company is a fence company in West Pelzer, SC, a town of about 962 people that shares a river, a history and most of its daily life with Pelzer next door while running an entirely separate town government.

That split is the one thing worth knowing before you order a fence here. Everything else about the job is straightforward small town work: short runs, easy access, and a finished fence inside a couple of days.

Two town halls, one community

People treat Pelzer and West Pelzer as one place, and in most respects they are. They are not one place for the purposes of a fence. Neither the permit nor the height limit is a state matter in South Carolina, so every rule that touches your fence comes from a municipality or from Anderson County. Which municipality depends on which side of the town line your parcel sits on, and that line does not announce itself on the ground.

Before we order material for a job near the boundary, we ask the owner to confirm which town they are actually in and to make one phone call about height and setback. It takes a few minutes and it has saved customers from building a fence they then had to alter. Anderson County rules sit underneath either way, and neither town's answer is hard to get.

The line also decides who you would deal with later if a question ever came up about the fence, and it does not always follow the shape people expect. We have measured lots here where the house sits in one town and the far end of the back yard sits in the other. That is not a problem to solve, it is simply a reason to check twice before material is ordered rather than once afterward.

Small town, small runs, same standards

A full back yard in West Pelzer is often under two hundred feet of fence. That makes for a quick build, but it does not change the parts that decide whether the fence is still straight in ten years. Post depth is set by wind load and by how saturated the clay gets, not by frost, because Upstate frost depth is shallow. Gate posts still have to be sized for the leaf they carry. Concrete still has to surround the post rather than skin it.

We also measure the whole yard even when the call is about one side of it. On a lot this size the stretch nobody was worried about is often the one hiding a post that has gone soft at grade or a gate that has not latched properly in two years. Pricing the full line costs you nothing and puts the real choice in front of you instead of half of it.

Chain link and treated pine cover most of what goes in here, and both are perfectly good fences when they are built right and poor ones when they are not. We would rather build a shorter run correctly than stretch a budget across the whole property and cut corners below grade where nobody can see them. As one of our Google reviewers put it, great prices and good quality work are not opposites.

A standard utility locate request goes in before we dig, every time, including on a fifty foot run. On streets this old the service lines are not always where anyone would guess, and a short fence does not make that risk any smaller.
