Meet the owner

Storms here are good for surfing, but bad for fences.

My name is Ethan Bodie, owner and operator of Saltline Fence and Gate. I was born and raised right here in Manatee County, where the Manatee River meets the Gulf.

Spending my years here has curated a passion for all things Florida, including the weather. Storms here are good for surfing, but bad for fences. We give you a chance to fight back, with a sturdy, overbuilt fence that upholds our Saltline standard.
