What Tega Cay does to a fence

Tega Cay sits on a peninsula in Lake Wylie, and almost nothing here is flat. Yards fall away toward the water, so fences step down the slope or follow the ground. On a slope, water runs along the fence line and collects at the lowest post. That post is the one that rots first, and when it goes, the sections above it lean downhill.

The lake makes its own weather. Wind crosses open water with nothing to slow it and hits a 6 foot privacy fence like a sail. On the exposed sides of the peninsula, panels work loose at the rail fasteners long before any wood rots. Storms add limbs from the big oaks and pines that the older streets are known for.

The homes range from the original lake houses of the 1970s and 1980s to the newer neighborhoods off Gold Hill and Dam Road. Older fences here are often odd sizes and styles built by hand; newer ones are the standard privacy or aluminum picket with HOA rules behind them. Either way we match what is there.

Built for the wind

On an exposed run we fasten rails with screws, not nails, and set posts in concrete that drains. A fence on a windy lake lot needs its posts more than any other.

Gates on a slope

A gate across sloping ground needs to be hung to clear the high side. Tell us which way the ground falls, and send a photo of the gate open.

Permits, setbacks and HOA approval in Tega Cay

Tega Cay is a city in York County. Inside the city limits, the City of Tega Cay handles zoning, setbacks and fence permits. Some addresses with a Tega Cay mailing address are outside the limits and fall under York County. Find out which covers your lot before a new fence; a repair in the same place usually needs nothing. They have the final word.

Lake lots come with extra lines on the map. The shoreline buffer and any utility or drainage easement can limit where a fence may stand. The newer neighborhoods also have HOAs with fence rules. Check with your HOA early and ask for the form, which usually wants a plan with the fence line, height, style and gate. We help with that drawing from your sizes. Our HOA approval guide covers the same steps for York County.

Before we dig for a new fence we call 811 so the gas, water and cable lines are marked for free. The city or the county has the final word on permits and setbacks, and the HOA on its own rules.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you repair a fence that runs down a slope?
Yes. On a slope the fence either steps down in level sections or follows the ground. Either way, a leaning post is replaced the same way: dug out and reset in concrete that drains. Send a photo from the top of the slope and one from the bottom so we can see how the fence was built.
The wind off the lake keeps knocking panels loose. Is there a fix?
A privacy fence catches wind like a sail. When a panel works loose, it is usually the rail fasteners or a post that moved, not the pickets. We refasten the rails to the posts with screws rather than nails, and reset any post that moves. On an exposed run we can talk about a style with gaps that lets wind through.
Who handles fence permits in Tega Cay?
Inside the city limits, the City of Tega Cay handles zoning, setbacks and permits. Addresses with a Tega Cay mailing address outside the limits fall under York County. A repair in the same place usually needs nothing. For a new fence, call first, and check with your HOA. They have the final word.
