Conditions affecting fencing and decking in Upper Township are not uniform. Some properties sit along the coast, while others are farther inland, with larger lots and mixed terrain. Tri-State Fence & Deck plans projects here with that split in mind—so layouts, materials, and access points match where the property sits, not just the town name.


Properties in Upper Township fall into two unique environments. Services are chosen based on exposure and spacing along the coast, or land size and access farther inland.

Transform your property with premium vinyl fencing, designed for strength and low maintenance, vinyl fences provide lasting style and dependable performance.
Vinyl is often chosen for coastal-edge properties. It resists moisture and salt exposure while keeping a clean look on tighter lots.

Decks are commonly built as access points to yards, gardens, or pools. On larger lots, footing depth and drainage matter more than elevation.

Upper Township has coastal areas, such as Strathmere. Here, salt air, wind, and close spacing affect fence height, placement, and materials. These projects often need added attention to exposure and visibility.
Farther inland, communities like Petersburg and Marmora have larger properties. They also have longer fence runs and more access points. Along corridors like Route 50, planning must account for frontage length, driveway spacing, and changes in grade.
Successful installations in Upper Township depend on understanding where the property sits and how it’s used. It's not about applying one coastal or rural approach across the board.
Navigating local fence regulations can be confusing, but we’re here to help. In Upper Township, NJ, new fences must comply with local zoning codes and permit requirements.
Permit Required: Upper Township requires a zoning permit for building or changing fences. This also applies to other accessory structures. Applications typically include a site plan or survey showing proposed fence location and height.
Height Limits: Fences in front yards generally may be up to 4 feet tall, while fences in side and rear yards may be up to 6 feet tall.
Placement: Fences must conform to the township’s setback and zoning requirements for the specific property. Many side- and rear-yard fences are installed at or near the property line. But local zoning and any easements or sight distance requirements must be observed.
We review your property survey. We plan fence layouts with these local rules in mind. We also help coordinate the permit process. This way, your project complies with the rules before work begins.

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.

Projects here benefit from early planning and steady execution. With both coastal-edge and inland properties in the same township, getting the layout right upfront makes the biggest difference.

Site Review & Use Planning
We review property layout, access points, and how the space is used. This helps define fence lines, gate locations, and structure placement that fit the property’s size and setting.

Layout & Code Alignment
Fence and structure layouts are checked against zoning rules, setbacks, and visibility requirements. When permits or reviews are needed, plans are aligned before installation begins.

Installation & Final Check
Our crews install with attention to alignment, stability, and clean finish. The goal is a completed project that functions properly and doesn’t require follow-up adjustments.

Vinyl won’t rot, rust, or attract insects. Unlike wood or metal, it stays straight and bright for years. There’s no painting, staining, or sealing, and cleaning takes jusMost residential fences go up in 1 to 3 days once the materials arrive. However, decks and gates with operators may take longer due to footings and setup. Timelines vary by township permitting and site conditions. Scheduling typically books about 2–3 weeks after a 50% deposit, while 811 utility marking and permitting are handled during that window.t minutes with mild soap and water. Vinyl’s UV-resistant finish ensures years of curb appeal with minimal upkeep.
Vinyl and aluminum benefit from routine rinsing; wood looks best with periodic sealing. Keep gates reliable with hinge and latch checks, and test operator safety sensors seasonally.
Our installation work, like setting up posts, panels, gates, and hardware, is protected by a 3-year workmanship warranty. This warranty covers normal use. It is separate from the manufacturer's material warranty. Please note that some exclusions may apply.
Most towns require zoning approval for new fences, with stricter rules for pool barriers and fences over certain heights. Guidance is provided for surveys, township submittals, and HOA packets to help approvals go smoothly in South Jersey.

Workmanship in Upper Township depends on the property's location. Coastal-edge homes and inland lots place very different demands on the construction of fences and structures. Our team’s standards focus on alignment, stability, and long-term performance—so installations perform as intended in both settings.
On every project, we account for straight fence lines across short and long runs, post depth and spacing that match soil conditions, gate alignment for frequent use and varied access points, consistent height and finish along property lines, and clean transitions where layouts change across the lot.
