For homeowners in Avalon, fencing and decking come with challenges you don’t see inland. This barrier-island community sits between the Atlantic and the bay. This means that wind exposure, sandy soil, and a higher water table all affect how structures perform over time.
Tri-State Fence & Deck plans each project with care. From homes near Dune Drive to properties closer to Avalon Boulevard, they ensure fences stay secure, and gates stay aligned. This helps installations move through borough review without delays, whether the home is occupied year-round or seasonally.


Avalon homeowners tend to prioritize durability, low maintenance, and clean sightlines for Tri-State Fence & Deck services.

Transform your property with premium vinyl fencing, designed for strength and low maintenance, vinyl fences provide lasting style and dependable performance.
Vinyl fencing is the most requested option, holding up well in salt air and coastal moisture. It requires minimal maintenance, making it ideal for seasonal and rental homes, and its clean, uniform appearance fits well in Avalon neighborhoods.

For a practical, cost-effective option, chain link fences deliver reliable security and versatility for homes, schools, and businesses.
This has more limited applications and is typically used for enclosed utility or pet areas. It is less common in Avalon’s residential streetscape, as appearance is usually secondary to function.

Construction in Avalon requires more planning than inland projects. As a barrier-island community, properties are exposed to strong coastal winds, sandy soil with low holding strength, and constant salt air. These conditions affect how posts are set, how panels move, and how long hardware lasts if the build isn’t planned correctly from the start.
With nearly 20 years of regional experience, our team builds fences and decks in Avalon with those realities in mind. We focus on structural stability, long-term alignment, and clean execution. This ensures installations hold up through coastal weather and repeated seasonal use, whether the property is closer to the oceanfront or near the Avalon Yacht Club.
In Avalon (Cape May County, NJ), fences are regulated by the borough’s zoning ordinance. Height limits are based on where the fence is located and how it’s constructed.
Our team plans fence layouts with these local rules in mind, assists with permit coordination, and ensures your fence complies before installation begins—so your project moves forward smoothly and meets borough expectations.

Every Tri-State Fence & Deck project follows the standards required by South Jersey township and county codes—from post depth and frost line clearance to concrete set times and gate spacing.
Our crews follow a structured checklist developed over 20 years of regional experience to ensure your fence or deck passes inspection and stands the test of time.
What defines our craftsmanship:
Posts set to South Jersey frost depth (typically 30"–36" minimum, depending on township)
Concrete mixed and cured per ASTM fence-post standards.
Vinyl and aluminum rails reinforced with steel or aluminum inserts where required.
Deck framing built with weather-rated fasteners and NJ-approved joist spacing
Site cleanup and gate alignment were verified before the customer walkthrough.

Fencing projects in Avalon require careful planning, clear communication, and coastal-aware execution. Our process is designed to keep things straightforward from start to finish.

Step 1: Design & Site Consultation
We start with a focused consultation to review your property layout, exposure, and goals, including fence styles, materials, and placement for a barrier-island environment.

Step 2: Permit & Code Coordination
Our team plans fence layouts with these rules in mind and assists with the coordination needed to keep the project aligned with local expectations before installation begins.

Step 3: Professional Installation
Once plans are approved, our crews complete the installation with an emphasis on stability, clean execution, and minimal disruption.

Timing and execution matter more for seasonal homes. Installations should be scheduled to avoid peak occupancy, completed cleanly, and built to function without adjustment during the season. Poor planning can lead to last-minute fixes, access issues, or inspection delays when owners or renters are already on-site. Predictability is as important as construction quality.
Barrier islands combine wind exposure, sand movement, moisture, and salt air—conditions that magnify small construction mistakes. Fences often fail when posts aren’t set for sand, hardware isn’t corrosion-rated, or wind load isn’t considered on long runs. Successful installations account for all four factors together, not individually.
Yes. Front-yard fences in Avalon are more tightly regulated than side or rear yard installations. Height limits are lower, and placement must account for visibility and sightline requirements. These rules often affect fence style, openness, and layout. Planning the design correctly upfront helps avoid redesigns, delays, or required modifications during borough review.
Salt air accelerates corrosion and material breakdown if the wrong products are used. Vinyl and aluminum fencing generally perform best in Avalon because they resist moisture absorption and rust. Hardware selection matters just as much—hinges, fasteners, and gate components must be corrosion-resistant to avoid premature failure, sagging gates, and costly repairs within a few seasons.
Fencing on a barrier island requires different planning than inland installs. Our designs account for Avalon’s coastal exposure, soil conditions, and borough regulations.
