Fence or deck costs in Greenville

Planning a pool in Anderson County? The fence is part of the pool job. You sign a notarized affidavit that your barrier meets the 2021 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code. The pool needs a barrier with gates, or a power safety cover that meets ASTM F1346. If a house wall forms part of the barrier, every door that opens straight onto the pool needs an alarm. All of it must be up before the final pool inspection, and nobody swims until the county approves it.

For decks, the county's Building & Codes Department works from the 2021 International Residential Code. A deck, porch or ramp more than 30 inches above grade needs a guard at least 36 inches tall, with no gap a 4-inch ball can pass through. Its residential checklist also sets every exterior footing at least 12 inches below undisturbed soil.

In Greenville and across the Upstate, look up before you build. Helene reached the western Carolinas in September 2024 as a strong tropical storm. Gusts of 55 to 70 mph hit ground that was already soaked, and hundreds of trees fell on houses, cars and power lines. Have a dead or leaning tree over your fence line looked at before the new fence goes in.

Own a corner lot in Easley? Within 15 feet of the point where the two street lines meet, no fence may block a driver's view between 2½ and 7 feet above the street. Only downtown's Core Commercial district is exempt.
