Fence Installation in Germanton, NC

Germanton is an old place. It was the first seat of Stokes County before the courthouse moved to Danbury in the middle of the nineteenth century, and today it is a crossroads community sitting on the line between Stokes and Forsyth, with a winery, farm ground, and an increasing number of houses whose owners drive into Winston-Salem for work.

That last part is what makes the fence conversations here interesting. On the same road you will find a family that needs pasture wire and an equipment gate, and a family that wants a clean vinyl privacy fence behind a newer house and never wants to think about it again. Both are normal work. The material and the build are just different.

For the residential side, vinyl in a PrivacyLock configuration is the common request, because the rails and pickets interlock rather than depending on the panel to hold itself together when a storm comes across open ground. For anyone who wants wood, StayStrong pickets are what keeps boards from cupping through a humid summer, and a HeartWood finish gives the grain and color of stained cedar without an annual project attached.

On the agricultural side it is woven field wire on braced corners, mesh-backed rail wherever horses are kept, and split rail to mark a drive without closing off a view of the ridge. Gates get sized for the largest implement that will ever pass through, not the truck.

The ground under all of it is red Piedmont clay. It holds water rather than draining it, and every winter freeze after a wet week lifts a post that was tamped in dirt. Concrete footings below the frost line are standard on every fence we build, residential or agricultural.
