Wood Privacy
Backyard standard for Southside's established residential streets. Six-foot wood privacy works for most lots between the river corridor and the rural fringe.

Crew covers Southside Landing, newer subdivisions, and the rural fringe toward the county's southeast edge.
Popular Styles in Southside
Farm Fence
Rural-edge acreage south of town has real farm-fence demand. Alabama law sets minimum fence specs for cattle, horses, and goats, and we build to that standard.
Decks and Pergolas
Coosa River-frontage homes pair well with composite decks and pergolas that handle the moisture exposure from the river. Composite holds up better than wood in that environment.
Built for Southside Conditions
Southside (population 9,426 per 2020 U.S. Census) sits on the Coosa River, 8 to 12 miles south of downtown Gadsden on the Appalachian foothills.

For rural-edge acreage outside city limits, no county permit is required per the Gadsden Industrial Development Authority, but Alabama livestock-fence law still governs minimum specs for agricultural fencing.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fences in Southside, AL
Do I need a permit to build a fence in Southside, AL?
Inside Southside city limits, yes. A building permit is required and applications go through the city Building Department at (256) 442-9764. On rural-edge parcels outside city limits in unincorporated Etowah County, no county permit is required per the Gadsden IDA. We confirm which category your property falls into before quoting.
Do you work with HOAs in Southside?
Yes when applicable. HOAs are less common in Southside than in Shelby or Jefferson, but some newer subdivisions have architectural review. Guaranteed provides the documentation those committees need.
What fence type works best in Southside?
Wood privacy for residential lots in town. Farm fence for acreage on the rural fringe. Chain link for budget-driven yards and utility areas. Composite decks and pergolas are a strong fit for Coosa River-frontage properties.
Do you build river-frontage decks in Southside?
Yes. Wood and composite decks plus pergolas pair well with Coosa River-frontage homes. Composite is the better long-term choice on river-adjacent lots because it handles moisture exposure without the maintenance cycle that treated wood requires.
