A trade association for the fence industry that offers education, events, safety resources and industry news for contractors, manufacturers and suppliers.
The American Fence Association, known as the AFA, describes itself as a trade association for the fence industry. Its website points to education, events, safety information and resources for fence contractors, manufacturers and suppliers. Owners in Nashville who want to understand how the trade talks about installation practices, training and standards can read what the association says about its mission and its members.
We are an independent company and are not part of the AFA. We explain in plain language what the association publishes and point you to the official site so you can read it yourself. When you compare fence companies, it helps to ask about post depth, materials, gate hardware and how a written scope handles removal and cleanup. We are glad to answer those questions about our own work.
