Fence Company in Tarrant, AL

Birmingham Fence Pros is a fence company serving Tarrant, a small city of 6,124 people (2020 census) bordering Birmingham's north side, about 6 miles from downtown.

An Industrial Town With Neighborhood Streets

Tarrant incorporated in 1918, and for decades it went by Tarrant City. Its name may honor longtime resident Benjamin Tarrant or Felix I. Tarrant, president of the National Cast Iron Pipe Company, which built the area's first major industrial plant in 1912. Industry is still part of the city today: Tarrant is home to the ABC Coke plant, which Forbes called the largest single producer of foundry coke in the U.S.

That mix of industry and older residential streets means we see two kinds of fence work in Tarrant.

For homes: - Replacing worn chain link with new galvanized or black-coated chain link fences - Wood privacy fences for backyards - Pet-proof fences with tight bottoms and secure gate latches

For businesses: - Security fencing with barbed or extended arms - Rolling and swing gates for yards and lots - Repair of damaged sections along property lines

Building in Tarrant's Ground

Tarrant shares the Birmingham area's red clay. Clay holds water after rain, so posts that sit in poorly drained holes can heave and lean over time. We set posts with a gravel base and slope the concrete away from the post so water doesn't sit against the wood or steel.

Permits

Tarrant is its own city, so fence permits and height rules come from the City of Tarrant, not Birmingham. We confirm the requirements before building and call 811 before digging.
