Common Questions
Fence Questions From Signal Mountain
Something else on your mind? Call (423) 842-8700 and ask.
Do I need a permit for a fence on Signal Mountain?
Yes. The town lists fences under building permits and defines them as structures. The permit comes from Town Building and Codes before the fence goes in.
What fence works on a steep wooded lot?
Black aluminum racks to follow the grade without stepping, and it disappears into the trees. For privacy on a slope we build wood or vinyl in racked or stepped panels depending on the pitch.
How do you set posts in rock?
With a drill or rock auger, then concrete. It's slower than digging dirt, and it's how a fence stays straight on the mountain.
