Your Local Anthony Fence Contractor
Anthony is an unincorporated community in Marion County roughly 8 miles northeast of Ocala, sitting right in the heart of Marion County's equestrian belt — it's genuinely one of the closest of our outlying service areas to our home base in Ocala. The community traces back to an 1883 railroad platting and was briefly an incorporated town from 1892 until 1932; today it's unincorporated, with a rural, farm-and-pasture character that's shaped almost entirely by the horse industry.
Anthony is home to major equestrian facilities including the HITS (Horse Shows in the Sun) show grounds and the Ocala Breeders' Sales (OBS) auction facility, both of which draw horse people from across the country and shape what kind of fencing gets built out here. We install a lot of wood board and no-climb wire perimeter fencing on working horse properties, alongside standard residential fencing for the growing number of rural-residential lots mixed in among the farms.
Because so much of Anthony sits on multi-acre parcels with existing barns, paddocks, and cross-fencing, we spend real time walking the property and talking through how a new fence line ties into what's already there before we ever price a job.
Fencing Services We Offer in Anthony
Anthony's mix of working horse farms and rural-residential lots means we install everything from pasture perimeter fencing to standard backyard privacy fencing:
- Wood & privacy fences — full backyard privacy at the best value
- Vinyl & PVC fences — low-maintenance and fade-resistant
- Aluminum & ornamental fences — pool-code and upscale curb appeal
- Chain link fences — economical perimeter and pet containment
- Fence repair & replacement — save what's still sound
- Gate installation & automation — manual and automatic gates
Popular Fence Styles in Anthony
Wood board fencing and no-climb horse wire are the most common requests on Anthony's working horse farms, sized and spaced for equine safety rather than a standard residential spec. On the smaller rural-residential lots mixed in among the farms, wood privacy and chain link cover most requests, and we occasionally install aluminum fencing around a farmhouse or front entrance where a homeowner wants a more finished look facing the road.

Local Facts
Anthony was platted in 1883 along the railroad and was briefly its own incorporated town from 1892 to 1932 before becoming unincorporated Marion County land again.
The area's history runs through phosphate mining in the early 1900s to its present-day identity as one of the core communities of Marion County's thoroughbred and show-horse industry.
