Wood Privacy Fences
Wood privacy fencing gives backyards, rental homes, and side yards dependable screening with post depths and bracing matched to Southeast Georgia soil and weather.
Ronnie Custom Fence serves Ware County, Georgia and its county seat of Waycross with custom fence installation, repair, gates, and farm fencing. We build wood privacy, vinyl, chain link, and aluminum fences for homes and businesses, plus agricultural-grade boundary, livestock, and field fencing for the county's farms and timber operations.
Ware County is inland Southeast Georgia - Waycross sits well away from the coast, so there is no salt-air concern, just the region's humidity, sandy flatwoods soils, and the vast Okefenokee Swamp filling the county's western and southern reaches. Near the swamp's edges, wetland and flood considerations come into play. Waycross is a budget-conscious market where pressure-treated wood and chain link are the workhorses, and we set them up to last with proper post depth and treated materials.
Permitting in Ware County splits between the Ware County Planning & Codes Department for unincorporated areas and the City of Waycross Community Improvement Department for work within city limits, where a permit is required for new construction and structural work. Flood-plain properties near the swamp need elevation review. We confirm the right authority and requirements before layout.
