Thompson’s Station sits in a humid subtropical climate. Hot, sticky summers and winters that stay mild until an ice storm hits. Vinyl, aluminum, and Simtek perform well in such circumstances. Pressure-treated wood and cedar work well if properly maintained. For a standard 100 linear-foot installation in this area, most homeowners land somewhere between $1,800 and $4,800, depending on materials and site conditions.

Thompson’s Station is something of a haven for anyone who loves the outdoors: rolling landscape, historic landmarks, working farms, and neighborhoods that were actually planned with families in mind. Big Jerry’s Fencing builds fences that match that spirit, whether that means a rail line that fits a working farm or a privacy fence styled to suit a newer build in a planned community.
We measure your property with an official survey, not a guess, mark utility lines, and set posts to a proper depth. You get a fence that holds its ground and looks visually appealing over the years.
Our gates are built with commercial-grade hardware, so they swing smoothly for years, not just the first season. Whether it’s a single walk gate or a double drive gate for equipment, we build it to match your fence exactly.
Storms, age, and a Tennessee freeze-thaw cycle eventually take their toll on a fence. We repair broken panels, straighten leaning posts, and fix sagging or off-track gates. Your fence returns to its normal state in minimal time.
Horses test a fence line. Cattle lean on it. Goats climb anything that gives them the chance. We size farm and ranch fencing to the animal you’re actually keeping in, not a one-size-fits-all rail.
Aluminum holds a clean, open look without blocking the view of the pasture behind your lot. It doesn’t rust, corrode, or throw tantrums when the weather turns rough.
SimTek gives you the look of stone or wood without the upkeep. It’s the kind of beauty that doesn’t compromise on standards and resists rot, warping, and fading.
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.
