Hampshire's local fence contractor for far western Maury County. We build farm fence, privacy fence, and custom gates across Hampshire's rural land — wood post setting, wire-backed fencing, repairs, and the occasional automatic driveway gate.
Hampshire is western Maury County at its most authentic. This unincorporated community of roughly 1,500 residents sits along US 412, about nine miles east of the Natchez Trace Parkway. The hills and plateaus here are wine country — Hampshire’s microclimate supports three successful vineyards and wineries — and the landscape is defined by rolling farms, wooded hollows, and backroads that reward anyone willing to slow down.
Fencing in Hampshire is functional first. It keeps cattle where they belong, marks property boundaries that follow ridge lines and creek beds, and protects garden plots from the deer that browse through every hollow. Middle TN Fence & Gate brings the same professional installation quality to Hampshire that we offer anywhere in Maury County, with pricing and materials suited for rural properties.
Hampshire was originally called Love’s Cross Roads before taking its current name in 1837. The community was settled in 1807 by families who crossed the Duck River at Gordon’s Ferry on the Natchez Trace. Hampshire has its own post office (38461), its own K-12 unit school with roughly 400 students, and its own 6.9-acre community park shared with the school grounds. The vineyards and organic farming community have grown steadily alongside the traditional cattle operations.

In Hampshire, we install every major fence material — wood privacy and farm fencing, vinyl picket fences, ornamental aluminum for estate-style and pool-code fencing, and split rail and farm fence for rural acreage and horse pasture. We help you pick the right one for your property and budget. Our fence materials that last in rural Tennessee walks through how each material holds up to Middle Tennessee weather.
Hampshire’s working cattle farms and horse properties need fencing that performs across rough terrain without constant repair. We install high-tensile wire for long perimeter runs, woven wire for areas with calves or goats, and board fence for horse paddocks and road-facing boundaries. The hilly terrain west of Hampshire means every job requires careful planning to keep fence lines true across grade changes.
Homesteads and newer homes along US 412 and the connecting county roads need privacy fencing around yards and garden areas. Our cedar and pressure-treated pine installations create a defined living space on properties that may be ten or fifty acres total.
Split rail belongs in Hampshire’s landscape. It frames driveways, marks boundaries along roads, and defines yard perimeters on acreage properties without looking suburban. Our cedar split rail weathers to a silver-grey that blends with the fencerows and tree lines that have shaped this countryside for two centuries.
Hampshire’s vineyards and organic farms need specialty fencing that protects crops from deer while allowing airflow and sunlight. We install deer-height woven wire perimeters, trellis-support fencing for vineyards, and garden enclosures. Hampshire’s growing reputation as wine country means this type of fencing is increasingly in demand.
Hampshire’s hills and hollows mean fence lines rarely follow flat ground. We run lines across slopes, through tree lines, and across creek bottoms using techniques built for the terrain.
Hampshire fencing jobs often involve thousands of linear feet. Our pricing scales with quantity — bulk material purchasing and efficient crew deployment bring your per-foot cost down.
Deer pressure in Hampshire is real. Our eight-foot deer fencing protects gardens, vineyards, and orchard plots. We also install coyote-resistant configurations for poultry and small livestock.
Hampshire is unincorporated with no HOA governance and minimal zoning restrictions. You and your fencing contractor decide what works for your property.
Hampshire is unincorporated and most fences do not require a permit. Maury County setback requirements apply near road rights-of-way. We verify applicable setbacks during your free estimate.
Deer fencing needs to be at least eight feet tall to prevent jumping. We install woven wire deer fence on treated wood or metal posts. For vineyards and orchards, we use specialized agricultural deer netting with reinforced base rails.
Farm fencing runs $5 to $15 per linear foot for wire configurations. Board fence runs $15 to $35. Wood privacy fencing costs $25 to $45 per foot. Terrain can affect pricing on steep slopes.

Yes. We clear fence lines through wooded sections as part of installation. Brush clearing, tree trimming, and stump removal along the fence path are included in our quote when needed.
High-tensile wire with properly braced corner posts handles Hampshire’s hilly terrain best. The wire maintains tension across grade changes better than barbed wire, and the smooth surface reduces livestock injury risk.
Hampshire is hill country in the truest sense. The land out here off Highway 412 rolls hard, and limestone outcrops sit closer to the surface in some spots than they do back near Columbia. We see properties where the auger taps rock by the second turn. We bring rock-drilling equipment on every estimate west of the Carter Creek crossing because experience has taught us to. The soil that's not rock is heavy clay and red dirt, and that holds water differently than the silt loam closer to town. None of it is bad ground for a fence. It just rewards a contractor who's done it before.
We work properties from the small unincorporated center of Hampshire out to the farms toward Sandy Hook, Hohenwald, and the Lewis County line. Most jobs out here are on acreage rather than residential lots. Five acres, ten acres, fifty acres or more. The fence we install in Hampshire usually isn't a backyard privacy fence. It's perimeter work, pasture fence, or driveway-gate installs. Once in a while a house close to the highway needs a privacy fence facing the road, and we handle those too.
Will you drive to Hampshire for a small job? Yes. The drive from Columbia is shorter than people think, and we'd rather make the trip than turn down work in our service area.
Do you handle barbed wire and high-tensile? Yes. Both are common requests for cattle properties west of town.
What about access for equipment on rough land? We've fenced properties that needed a tractor to drag posts to the line. We bring what's needed.
Hampshire is part of our weekly route along with Santa Fe and Mt. Pleasant, so scheduling around your project is rarely a problem.
