On Good Friday, everyone from our Knoxville branch office served Boys & Girls Clubs of the Tennessee Valley's Vestal Club with the gift of perimeter security and peace of mind. The Club was experiencing problems with their older, shorter, fence. Rio Grande Fence Co. of Tennessee provided the materials and installation of a new 8'H black-coated commercial grade chain link fence and two gates with weld-on B.A. hinges and Strong Arm Latches to properly secure the site. Our M-Series temporary fence panels with BigFoot weights were utilized to keep the site secure during the permanent fence construction. "We were honored to serve our Knoxville community and the great people at Boys & Girls Club on Good Friday through our gift of perimeter security and peace of mind. The newly donated fence and gates makes the facility a truly safe space for the children who are served at the Vestal center. We appreciate Ashleigh Christian, IOM from the Knoxville Chamber (Knoxville, Tennessee) for creating the connection between our company and this wonderful non-profit." said Derek Smith, Chief Operating Officer & 3rd Generation Owner. #Knoxville #KnoxvilleFence #KnoxvilleFencing #TennesseeFence #CommercialFence

About us
Rio Grande Fence Co. of Tennessee exclusively serves businesses, contractors, government agencies, and sports facilities throughout Tennessee with commercial and industrial perimeter security solutions. For permanent installations, service repairs, and temporary fence rentals, our team of professionals are prepared to serve. We are Tennessee's Commercial Fence Contractor. The Commercial Fence Professionals™ Over the years, the company made the decision to move away from the residential market to concentrate on providing fencing to general contractors, business owners, and government agencies. This decision has enabled the company to give “white-glove treatment” to a more focused clientele and to work on establishing itself as The Commercial Fence Professionals™. After 60 years in business, the company is still owned and operated by the Smith family. Michael Smith (President & 2nd Generation Owner) along with Derek Smith (Chief Operating Officer and 3rd Generation Owner) manage the company. A Tradition of Giving Back to Our Employees & Community “A company of any merit that wants its employees to give great service has to give its employees great service,” said Derek Smith, RGF's Chief Operating Officer. “We wanted to offer our employees high-quality, turnkey solutions so their personal lives were less stressful and their interaction with the human resources department was consistently handled with care. It’s very important to us to give our employees the tools they need to make their lives easier. We wanted to provide them with a benefits package that was the same as the one our family uses. We wanted them to be able to go to top-notch facilities and get great care. Safety The Smith family outfits fence installation crews in top-quality safety gear from brands such as Keen Boots, Bolle Safety Glasses, HexArmor cut-resistant gloves, Milwaukee Type II Safety Helmets, etc.

On Friday, January 26th, all RGF employees from Nashville & Knoxville invested time together at American Fence Association's FENCETECH 2024 held at Nashville Music City Center. Everyone was treated to a Chick-fil-A Restaurants breakfast at our office before we loaded up on two buses to travel together to our industry's annual trade show. "Rio Red" was out in full force on Friday at Music City Center. It was great to catch up with many of our vendor partners while sharpening our skills and continuing to stay on the leading edge of products and innovation in our great industry. #Fence #Fencing #fencecontractor #fenceinstallation #NashvilleFence #KnoxvilleFence #TennesseeFence #CommercialFence #CommercialFencing

Our Nashville & Knoxville employees found ways to sharpen their skills during this week's winter storm in Tennessee. 27 of our employees are completing their OSHA 30 for Construction Industry Training while enrolled at the University of South Florida's online program. By Saturday night, 90% of our Installation & Operations team members will have OSHA 30 certificates. RGF took care of employees during a period when most companies aren't working and will be better prepared to serve our customers when we get back to work next week. #Fence #Fencing #CommercialFence #Professionals #fenceinstallation #fencecontractor #fencecompany #Knoxville #Nashville #Tennessee
