Wood fence questions in Powell
Do I need a permit for a wood fence in Powell?
Usually not. Powell follows unincorporated Knox County rules, which require a building permit only above 7 feet. A fence around a swimming pool needs a permit and an inspection at any height.
What fence works for a large Powell lot?
Many Powell owners use split-rail or a 4-foot picket in front and 6-foot privacy fence around the backyard. The mix saves money on long runs.
How do you keep wood posts from rotting in wet ground?
Cantrell uses ground-contact pressure-treated posts set in concrete. The concrete top is crowned so rainwater runs away from the wood.
