Big Jerry’s Fencing Permitting Requirements
Fences in Hendersonville fall under the City of Hendersonville Zoning Ordinance.
A Zoning/Fence Permit is required before construction and is secured through the City of Hendersonville Planning Department.
Approved materials include treated wood, cedar, or redwood; simulated wood, including vinyl-covered or synthetic composite; decorative brick or stone; wrought iron, or aluminum designed to simulate wrought iron; and coated chain-link, in brown, black, or green only (bare galvanized isn’t approved).
In case of a zoning violation, a remediation process gets initiated. To find out more, confirm the current requirements with the Hendersonville Planning Department.

Hendersonville’s humid subtropical climate, layered atop the red clay, is hard on the wrong materials. Vinyl, aluminum, and coated chain-link shrug off moisture and the freeze-thaw cycles that accompany Sumner County’s occasional January cold snaps, while pressure-treated wood can still perform well here as long as posts are set deep and the wood is restained every couple of years. Owners can expect a budget of $1,300 to $5,000 depending on material, height, terrain, and installation complexity.

Hendersonville grew into one of the few Sumner County towns built almost entirely around its shoreline. That history is still visible in the property mix today. Our local crew handles all of it, from a straightforward backyard on a flat interior lot to a fence that has to run down a slope toward the water.
We follow through from your initial consultation to the final walkthrough. Our crews work directly with the City of Hendersonville Planning Department on permitting, installation, and everything else, so your fences are built to last through Hendersonville’s humidity.
Gates get engineered to match whatever fence they’re paired with, with hardware rated for daily use and for the humidity coming off the lake. Optional add-ons include welded steel gate frames, automatic gate openers, and self-closing mechanisms.
With so many Hendersonville properties near the water, pool safety matters. We install code-compliant pool fencing with self-closing, self-latching gates, built to keep curious kids and pets out while still looking like part of the yard instead of a barricade.
Aluminum is the go-to when you want a boundary line without blocking a lake or river view. It resists rust and corrosion, which makes it an ideal solution for shoreline lots and pool enclosures.
Proper maintenance and care for a wood fence go a long way. It offers warmth that no other material can match at its price point. With numerous style options, it can be customized to suit your desired look and functionality.
Vinyl doesn’t care about humidity, doesn’t rot, and doesn’t need staining, which makes it a strong pick for a lake town where the air stays damp year-round. An occasional hosing off restores it to like-new condition.
We started with the simple goal of providing quality fences and providing for family. Our founder, Big Jerry, started building fences on weekends as a police officer. We’ve always valued protecting family and property.
Now we have grown to multiple states, but our mission is the same. We make buying fences quick and easy, so you can protect your loved ones and your investments.
