United Fence Company

In the early 1950s, Dan Mitchell moved from Sherman, Texas to Columbus to open a fence company. For the next ten years he was in partnership with several different local businessmen, working in various fence companies in Columbus. In 1964, Dan became partners with Bryan Pennell, opening United Fence Company, initially located on Talbotton Road.

Dan eventually became the sole owner of United Fence Company which has operated in Columbus continuously since its inception in 1964. Over the years, the type of fencing in which they specialize has evolved. In the early years of operation, chain link fencing was their main product.
