What to Expect When Installing a Fence with Bigfoot Fence of Clarksville
Your Step-by-Step Guide to a Smooth Fence Installation
Installing a new fence should feel exciting, not overwhelming. At Bigfoot Fence of Clarksville, the process is designed to be simple, clear, and stress-free from start to finish. Here is exactly what you can expect at every stage.
Step 1 - Inquiry Made Easy
Reaching out should be quick and painless. Whether you call, fill out a form, or send a message, the goal is to make your initial inquiry as smooth as possible. No hassle, no confusion, just a straightforward start to your project.
Step 2 - Your Free Quote Appointment
Explore Your Options
Your quote appointment is completely free and one of the most important steps in the process. This appointment should take about 30-45 minutes. This is your opportunity to:
- Ask as many questions as you want
- Discuss design ideas and layout options
- Explore different materials and styles
Think of this stage as your chance to fine-tune everything. Once installation begins, changes become much more difficult, so this is the time to make sure everything is exactly how you want it.
Step 3 - Simple Contract and Paperwork
Once you are ready to move forward, the contract process is designed to be clear and straightforward. No complicated steps, just a simple agreement that outlines your project so everyone is on the same page.
Step 4 - Scheduling Your Installation
What Timeline Should You Expect?
After signing, your project is scheduled for installation. Typically:
- Installation is about 4 weeks out
- During busy seasons like spring and summer, it may take 4 to 6 weeks
Planning ahead is key, especially during peak months.
Step 5 - Permits and HOA Approvals
Who Handles What?
Homeowners are responsible for obtaining:
- Required permits from the city or county
- HOA approvals, if applicable
Most HOAs require similar information as local permitting offices. While the responsibility is yours, Bigfoot Fence can guide you through the process to make it easier.
Step 6 - The Week Before Installation
Preparation begins the week leading up to your install date.
What Happens Behind the Scenes?

- The fence layout is marked on your property
What You Need to Do
Homeowners should identify any private underground items, such as:

- Invisible fences
- French drains
This is also your final opportunity to make changes. If adjustments are needed, you must be present during the marking process.
Step 7 - Installation Day

Installation Details

Step 9 - The Day After Installation
