If you want a three rail split rail fence then Ford Fencing. They do a lot of horse farms. The have better wood than other companies. I think it is Hickory brought in from WV.

Many of the fences in my neighborhood were installed by McGrady Fences.

I have no experience with them, but the neighborhood fences are sturdy and have maintained a nice appearance as they aged.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions, we actually went with Allegheny Fence which is family owned. We are just now waiting for it to be installed. We also got an estimate from Affordable Fence, but we were not happy with how they handled us.

Across the board they weren't very professional. We requested a quote from their online form and when they called our son was in the hospital and my dad answered. They wouldn't talk to him at all and said they would email info. They never did. When we were finally able to call them back they said they sent us stuff but never heard from us. We set up a time for someone to come give an estimate, had to take off work and they never showed. When called they said they thought we hadn't confirmed. Someone came the next day and was not really interested in telling me about the company or what they would be doing or what products they would be using.

We were concerned about the cost and looking at various options, when asked for different estimates, it appeared like they didn't want to,but did. While their wood prices were drastically different their chain link was actually more. We chose not use them as a result.

Hope this helps. Our fence is being installed (2 weeks ahead of schedule)next week and I will let everyone know how it goes.
