Professional Vinyl Fence
A vinyl fence gives families lasting privacy and low upkeep, holding its color through Indiana winters without repainting.
Increase Curb Appeal, Privacy, and Security
A fence does a lot for a Franklin home: a finished edge on a historic in-town lot, a safe space for kids and dogs in a new subdivision, and a clear line where your yard meets the neighbor’s. Our professional Franklin fence company gives you options that match the property you actually have, whether that’s a narrow lot off the downtown grid, a corner lot in Kingsbridge, or a creek-side backyard near Province Park.
We respect your time, and we’ll handle the project every step of the way, from measuring and planning to building to the City of Franklin’s fence standards, to the final walkthrough.
Our fence contractors are experts in residential fences as well as farm and commercial fencing. Whether you’re looking for a wood privacy fence, a vinyl picket fence, or a custom rail fence, or you have no idea what kind of fence you need, we’re ready to get to work for you!

Founded: Platted 1823 (incorporated as a city 1861)
Elevation: 742 ft
Coordinates: 39.49861, -86.05667
Helpful Links:
Franklin is the county seat of Johnson County, Indiana, about 20 miles south of Indianapolis along I-65 and US 31. Platted in 1823 and home to Franklin College since 1834, the city had a population of 25,313 at the 2020 census. Its Commercial and Martin Place historic districts anchor an older in-town core of Victorians, bungalows, and mid-century ranches, while newer planned subdivisions have grown up on the north side near US 31 and the east side near I-65.
Professional Franklin Fence Company
Our fencing professionals understand property lines, drainage, easements, and the other factors that decide where a fence can go. That matters in Franklin, where Young’s Creek, Hurricane Creek, and Canary Creek run through town and flood often, and where the City prohibits any fence that disrupts the flow of water in a drainage easement. We’ll lay the fence out to stay clear of easements, keep water moving, and stay off your neighbor’s property.
Our reliable, respectful crew uses high-quality finishing materials and our tried-and-true process to install your new fence correctly and on time. When it comes to fence installation in Franklin, you won’t find a more experienced, professional team.
Choosing the Right Fence for Your Needs
We’ll discuss your property, preferences, location, environment, and budget. Our Franklin fence installation professionals can then help you settle on the best material, rail type, design, and height, including how to stay within the City’s six-foot limit for side and rear yards and three-foot limit for front yards. We even have in-house custom fence designers able to deliver a fencing solution that meets your needs and the guidelines of communities like Kingsbridge, Bluffs at Young’s Creek, and Maclaren Manor.
Franklin Fence Installation
BlueBird Fence Company offers Franklin fence installation for residential, farm, and commercial properties. Because we build every fence on-site rather than dropping in prefab panels, our Franklin fence installation team can follow the grade on the older in-town lots around the courthouse square, where mature trees and decades-old fence lines are common, and on the newer subdivision lots to the north and east that were graded for drainage toward the creeks. We arrive on your scheduled installation day with every material needed, install with care, and walk the finished fence with you before we leave, so nothing is left to guesswork.
Franklin Fence Contractor
BlueBird Fence is backed by years of satisfied customers across central Indiana, and Franklin sits inside the area we serve, a straight run down I-65 and just south of our Greenwood customers. We bring the same detail-oriented approach to every Franklin job: a detailed quote, typically the same day you reach out, a confirmed installation date, and proactive updates along the way, so you always know what’s happening and when. We offer a wide range of products and services, including fence installation, ranch fence installation, and commercial fence installation.
Franklin Fence Options
BlueBird Fence Company offers a large variety of fencing options to fit your exact needs. Our Franklin fence material options include cedar, pressure-treated pine, vinyl, chain link, aluminum, and iron, with many configurations, optional add-ons, and opportunities to customize. In the newer farmhouse-style subdivisions, a white vinyl or cedar picket fence suits the architecture; on the acreage that surrounds the city, a split-rail or board fence marks the line without closing off the view. A Franklin privacy fence turns a compact backyard into a quiet retreat, and a Franklin security fence in ornamental metal keeps your family or business safe. Ask your representative which style is best for your property.
Franklin Fence Builder
Our team of experts at BlueBird Fence of Indiana builds fences that are crafted to not only fit the style of your property but also match the shape of your landscape. Unlike other fence builders, our Franklin fence company does NOT use pre-fabricated fence panels. We build custom (stick-built) fences that follow the lay of the land and give a much smoother transition from fence to ground. Good news for Franklin homeowners: the City permits fences in every zoning district without a permit, as long as they meet its standards, including the rule that the finished, non-structural side faces outward. We know those rules and build to them, so your fence is done right the first time. Request a free quote to learn more about BlueBird Fence’s services.
Franklin Fence Company
If you’re looking for a high-quality fence for your property, BlueBird Fence Company is the right Franklin fence company for you. We offer a wide variety of fence materials to choose from, including cedar, pressure-treated pine, vinyl, aluminum, metal, iron, and chain link, along with decorative add-ons and customization options. Our team is committed to high-quality products installed with attention to detail and kind, communicative service from the first call to the final walkthrough. We’re proud to serve Franklin families as a trusted partner, from the historic blocks around Franklin College to the newest homes on the city’s edges.
Franklin Metal Fence
Ornamental metal fences are increasing in popularity for both commercial and residential customers. Attractive, extremely durable, and secure, they come in a variety of metal types and finishes, and iron fencing is generally low-maintenance, complements architecture, and outlasts wood and vinyl. Around Franklin’s Victorian and bungalow streets, a low ornamental fence along the sidewalk suits the period architecture and stays within the City’s three-foot front-yard limit. In newer HOA communities, black aluminum is the style most often approved. You can even personalize your Franklin metal fence by adding custom rails, spears, rings, scrolls, or finials.
Ask your BlueBird Fence Company representative about our Franklin metal fence options and configurations.
Franklin Wood Fence
BlueBird Fence supplies professional-grade wood fences that are built to last through Franklin’s freeze-thaw winters and humid summers. Our wood fences are typically made from cedar, which features a beautiful natural coloration that also naturally protects your Franklin fence against bugs and decay. Cedar is easy to paint or stain, or it can be left to age naturally and develop a beautiful patina. Your Franklin wood fence is custom-built at your home to match the curves of the landscape, which matters on the creek-side and older in-town lots where the ground rarely runs level.
Franklin Vinyl Fence
Vinyl is a strong choice for Franklin homeowners who want lasting privacy without annual staining, and it suits the city’s newer subdivisions, where HOA guidelines tend to favor a clean, uniform look from the street. It holds its color through Indiana winters, shrugs off spring rain, and cleans up with a garden hose. We install vinyl privacy, semi-privacy, and picket styles, and because every run is built on-site, your vinyl fence follows your yard’s contours instead of stepping awkwardly across a slope. Ask about the profiles and colors available for your Franklin vinyl fence.
Franklin Fence Questions, Answered
Do I need a permit to build a fence in Franklin, Indiana?
No. The City of Franklin’s zoning ordinance permits fences, hedges, and walls in all zoning districts without a permit, provided they meet the City’s standards for height, placement, and materials. We build to those standards on every Franklin job, so you don’t have to track them yourself.
How tall can my fence be in Franklin?
In Franklin’s residential districts, a fence may be up to six feet in any side or rear yard and up to three feet in any front yard, with the front yard defined as the area between the street and the wall of the house that faces it. Corner lots need extra care at the intersection, where the City’s sight-visibility triangle must stay clear. HOA covenants may be stricter, and we confirm both before we quote.
Can I put a fence in a drainage easement in Franklin?
Franklin’s creeks flood often, and the City prohibits any fence that disrupts the flow of water in a drainage easement. A fence placed in an easement can also be removed by the easement holder when they need access. We lay out every fence to stay clear of drainage and utility easements, and we recommend a survey when lot lines are uncertain.
Do you install fences in Franklin’s newer HOA subdivisions like Kingsbridge?
Yes. Communities such as Kingsbridge, Bluffs at Young’s Creek, and Maclaren Manor typically have architectural guidelines covering fence material, color, and height. Black aluminum, white or tan vinyl, and cedar picket are the styles HOAs most commonly approve. Bring us your covenants, or we’ll help you find them, and we’ll match the fence to the rules. See our HOA-approved fence options.
How much does a fence cost in Franklin, and can I finance it?
Cost depends on material, height, linear footage, gates, and site conditions, so we quote every project individually and send a detailed estimate, typically the same day you reach out. Many Franklin homeowners spread the cost with our financing options through Wisetack, including 0% APR plans for qualified buyers.
BlueBird Fence also serves homeowners in nearby Greenwood, Bargersville, Shelbyville, and Indianapolis.
