Company History...

In 1971 two brothers, Webster V. Turbeville and Mann Turbeville, started MEMPHIS FENCE COMPANY. Mann, a City of Memphis Firefighter worked on his off days building the fences with the crew that he was able to put together while “Webb” Turbeville handled the selling and the business end of the company.

As the company grew, Mann left his job with the city and began working in the company with Webb on a full time basis. The first major fence project Memphis Fence Company completed was the full enclosure of the MEMPHIS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT…a project that others in the Memphis market said couldn’t be completed in the designated timeframe. The project went according to schedule, and then Memphis Fence Company was a true competitor in the Memphis market.

Since the early 70’s, Memphis Fence Company grew at a constant pace allowing it’s roots to grow into a strong foundation in the Memphis market as well as the surrounding area. In 1982 Mann made a decision to go on to other areas of interest and Webb bought out Mann’s half of the company.

In 1982 Memphis Fence Company Inc. started it’s first subsidiary, Memphis Fence Supply Company, Inc. This company made it’s primary objective wholesale fence distributor.

Over the following years Memphis Fence Company Inc. was instrumental in the formation of the following companies:

MEMPHIS FENCE COMPANY INC.
