Fencing in Old Fort
Protect Your Old Fort Home
If your Old Fort fence is leaning, rotting, or sagging at the gates, it's more than an eyesore — it's failing at its job. An aging fence in McDowell County's wet mountain climate loses posts to rot and frost heave, and once one section goes, the rest usually isn't far behind.
Wide Rivers installs wood, vinyl, aluminum, and chain-link fencing — matched to your Old Fort property, your purpose, and your budget. From 6-foot cedar privacy fence to ornamental aluminum and rustic split-rail, every style is set on posts anchored in concrete below the frost line.
Old Fort is a historic mountain town in McDowell County known for its railroad heritage, scenic surroundings, and the Andrews Geyser landmark. That terrain is exactly where professional fence installation earns its keep. Our crew racks and steps fence lines to follow McDowell County's slopes cleanly — no awkward gaps under the rails, no fence that fights the grade.
Every fence we install includes properly set posts, squared corners, plumb pickets, and gates hung to swing true. We call in utility locates, mind the property line, and build to McDowell County code.

Common Questions
Fencing FAQ — Old Fort
How much does fencing cost in Old Fort, NC?
Most fences in Old Fort run $3,000 to $15,000 installed. Material (wood, vinyl, or aluminum), height, total length, gates, and terrain set the price (roughly $20–$60 per linear foot installed). These are general averages, not a quote — every project is different, so the best way to get your exact number is a free, no-obligation estimate. Call Wide Rivers at (828) 229-2610.
Do I need a permit or property survey to fence my Old Fort yard?
It depends on your municipality and HOA, but many McDowell County fence projects require a permit, and it's always smart to confirm your property line before building. Wide Rivers handles utility locates through 811 and can advise on setbacks and permitting so your Old Fort fence is built in the right place, the right way.
What fence materials do you install in Old Fort?
Wide Rivers installs wood (pressure-treated pine and cedar), vinyl/PVC, aluminum, and chain-link fencing in Old Fort. We match the material to your purpose and budget — wood for classic privacy, vinyl for zero maintenance, aluminum for slopes and pool code, and chain-link for economical enclosures.
Can you build a fence on a slope in McDowell County?
Yes. Sloped lots are the norm in McDowell County, and our crew handles them two ways: racking the panels to follow the grade for a smooth line, or stepping them down the slope for a level-topped look. Either way, we keep the gaps under the fence tight and the finished result clean.
