Fences for Alford.
Alford is a small Jackson County town, a short drive south of our Cottondale base.
Our base on Sapp Road is about 14 minutes and seven miles away, by Sapp Road, Corbin Road and US 231.
Alford Elementary School is the town’s public elementary school.
The Census counts about 260 homes in a town of roughly 350 people, so this is a small place.
About three in four homes are single-family houses, and one in four is a manufactured home.
Owners live in about three in four of the occupied homes, and the median home went up in 1969.
An older lot often needs a fence line rebuilt or repaired, and a manufactured-home lot often wants chain link.
Jackson County also remembers October 2018, when the eye of Hurricane Michael crossed the county.

Local know-how
Fencing an Alford lot.
Manufactured-home lots, one in four homes here, often get black chain link around the yard.
If the lot is large, long runs and a wide drive gate for a truck or a mower are worth planning for.
Compass Lake, an unincorporated community about ten miles south, is about 24 minutes from our base.
Pool yards need a barrier at least 4 feet high with self-closing, self-latching gates under Florida law.
Tell us how the lot lays out and what the fence is for, and we will talk you through the options.
Fence rules in Alford.
We could not find a written Alford fence ordinance online, and the Jackson County code we read has no residential fence-height section.
Before you build, check with the Town of Alford or Jackson County Building Services, and with your HOA or deed if you have one.
Florida pool barriers
“The barrier must be at least 4 feet high on the outside. Gates that provide access to swimming pools must open outward away from the pool and be self-closing and equipped with a self-latching locking device.”
Florida Statutes 515.29(1)(a) and (3). Read the source.
Rules change. Check with the building office and your HOA before you build. This is a summary, not legal advice.
“Easy to work with and fair priced. Kadin and his crew did an awesome job on over 500’ of privacy fence for me.”
