Shelbyville sits at the heart of Shelby County farm country, where property lines run long and fences matter. Whether you're securing a residential lot in town or marking acreage out in the fields, Indianapolis Fence Company has been building and repairing fences across Shelbyville (46176) and the surrounding Indianapolis area since 2015.

Homeowners and property managers in Shelbyville call us because we understand what works here. We show up with fully insured crews, we know the local code, and we treat your fence like it's ours. From privacy fencing around a backyard to field fence that holds livestock and marks boundaries, we've done the work in your neighborhood.

Fencing for Shelbyville Property Owners

Shelbyville's housing stock runs the full range. You'll find single-family homes on modest lots in town, larger residential properties on the edges, and working farms and ranches throughout the county. That mix means our crews install everything from wood privacy fences that screen a suburban backyard to farm and ranch fencing that secures pasture and defines property lines across open ground. We work on level lots and sloped terrain. We coordinate with property lines you've identified, and we respect HOA rules and local setback requirements wherever they apply.

Since 2015, we've built and repaired fences for homeowners, property managers, and landowners across Shelbyville and the Indianapolis area. Our team is fully insured. We're members of the American Fence Association. We show up on time, we do the work right, and we clean up when we're done.

How a Fence Job Works in Shelbyville

Start with a call to (463) 800-7743 or a message with photos and your address. We'll schedule a free on-site assessment. We walk your property, look at the terrain, check sight lines and access, and talk through what you need. If you have a survey or a plat, bring it along. We'll give you an honest estimate and explain what the job involves.

When we start, we call 811 for a utility locate. That's the law in Indiana, and it protects underground lines before we set posts. We set posts in concrete, space them to code, and build the fence to last. Whether it's wood boards set side-by-side or board-on-board, vinyl pickets, chain link with tension bands, or ornamental metal, we do the craft right. On sloped ground, we rack the panels or step them to follow the terrain. We install caps and trim. We set gates to swing and close smoothly.

When the job is done, we haul away the scrap, sweep the area, and walk through with you. You'll see what we built and know what you're paying for.

Pricing for fence work in Shelbyville depends on what you're building and what the site requires. Wood and privacy fencing typically runs from $27 per linear foot. Vinyl runs from $38 per foot. Chain link is the most economical option, starting around $16 per foot. Ornamental metal and aluminum run from $42 per foot. Farm and ranch fencing can start as low as $12 per foot for open pasture work. Gate installation and repair typically start at $475, and automatic driveway gates begin around $2,800. Repair jobs start at $450. The final cost depends on post spacing, terrain (level versus racked or stepped), gate hardware, access for equipment, and whether you're doing new installation or repair and replacement. Call us at (463) 800-7743 for a free estimate. We'll measure, assess the site, and give you a real number.

We have a farm property outside Shelbyville. What kind of fencing do you recommend for pasture and livestock?
Farm and ranch fencing is our bread and butter in Shelby County. We install field fence with proper post spacing and bracing to handle the stress of livestock. We use pressure-treated or cedar posts set in concrete, and we space them to support the wire or rail without sagging. Costs start around $12 per linear foot for basic field fence, and the final price depends on the acreage, terrain, and whether you need gates for vehicle access. Call (463) 800-7743 with your property size and we'll give you a real quote.
A windstorm brought down part of our fence. Do you do emergency repairs?
Yes. Storm damage happens, and we respond. Call (463) 800-7743 and describe what came down. We'll schedule an assessment and give you an honest repair estimate. If the fence is repairable, we'll fix it. If replacement is the better spend, we'll say so. We can help you document the damage for an insurance claim, but the claim decision rests with your carrier. We offer a free damage assessment.
What does a wood privacy fence cost in Shelbyville?
Wood privacy fencing in Shelbyville starts at $27 per linear foot, but the final price depends on several factors: the height and style (side-by-side or board-on-board), whether posts are set in concrete or tamped earth, post spacing, gate openings, and terrain. A typical 100-foot run of 6-foot privacy fence on level ground might run $2,700 to $3,500 depending on these details. The best way to know is to call (463) 800-7743 and let us measure and quote your specific job.
Do I need a permit to install a fence in Shelbyville?
Permit rules in Shelbyville and Shelby County are set locally and they vary. Some residential fence installations don't require a permit. Others do, depending on the height, setback, and location on your property. If you live in a master-planned community, your HOA may have its own rules about height, material, and color. Before we start, confirm the rules with the Shelbyville or Shelby County building department and check any HOA covenants. We'll work from whatever rules apply to your address.
My neighbor's tree branches hang over our fence line. What can we do?
Property line disputes and overhanging branches are common. Indiana law generally allows you to trim branches that cross your property line, but the rules can get complicated and the tree might be protected by local ordinance. Before you cut, check with the Shelbyville building department to see if the tree has any protection status. If you and your neighbor can't agree, a licensed land surveyor can determine the exact property line. We install fences on the line you identify, and we respect boundary markers and surveys.
Are you fully insured for fence work on my property?
Yes. We are fully insured with general liability and workers' compensation coverage. We can provide a certificate of insurance on request. That means your property and our crew are protected while we work.
We're installing a pool and need a safety fence. What are the requirements in Shelbyville?
Pool barrier requirements are set by Indiana state law and Shelbyville local code. The barrier must prevent unsupervised access to the water, and the rules cover height, spacing, gate hardware, and self-closing hinges. We install pool fencing to meet those codes, but the final determination of compliance rests with the local authority having jurisdiction and the pool inspector. Call the Shelbyville building department to confirm the exact rules for your address, and then call us at (463) 800-7743 to discuss your fence options. A barrier is a safety tool, but it does not replace supervision.
