Aluminum & Ornamental
Aluminum and ornamental fencing add a polished look for front yards, pools, entrances, and coastal-area properties that need corrosion-conscious materials.
Ronnie Custom Fence serves McIntosh County, Georgia and its historic county seat of Darien with custom fence installation, repair, gates, and ornamental work. We build aluminum, vinyl, wood, and chain link fences plus custom gates for coastal homes, waterfront properties, and the many retirees and second-home owners drawn to this part of the Georgia coast.
McIntosh County is defined by the Altamaha River delta and its extensive tidal marshes - Darien is a historic shrimping town on a bluff over the Darien River, and Sapelo Island lies offshore. Salt-air corrosion is prevalent throughout the county's coastal and estuarine zone, so we recommend powder-coated aluminum and vinyl over uncoated steel. With about 30 percent of residents age 65 or older, low-maintenance decorative aluminum and vinyl picket styles are especially popular.
Permitting in McIntosh County splits between McIntosh County Building & Zoning for unincorporated areas - which charges a county fence permit fee - and the City of Darien for work within city limits, which has its own fence permit fee. Because much of the county lies in FEMA flood zones and the zoning ordinance measures heights from base flood elevation, we confirm permit and flood requirements before construction.

McIntosh County Fence FAQ
What fence material is best for coastal McIntosh County and Darien?
Salt air is prevalent throughout the county's coastal and estuarine zone, so we strongly recommend powder-coated aluminum and vinyl over uncoated steel. These hold their finish for years with little maintenance in the salt air - ideal for waterfront and marsh-adjacent properties.
Do you offer low-maintenance fencing for retirees and second homes?
Yes. With about 30% of McIntosh County residents age 65 or older, low-maintenance decorative aluminum and vinyl picket styles are especially popular. They look attractive, resist the salt air, and need little upkeep beyond an occasional rinse.
Do I need a permit for a fence in McIntosh County or Darien?
Yes. McIntosh County Building & Zoning handles unincorporated areas with a county fence permit fee, and the City of Darien charges its own fence permit fee within city limits. We help coordinate the permit and confirm flood requirements before construction.
How do flood zones and the marsh affect fencing here?
Much of the county lies in FEMA flood zones, and the zoning ordinance measures building heights from base flood elevation. Fencing near waterways and marsh may involve additional review, which we account for in the layout and confirm with the county before building.
