If you are looking for fence installation in Woodstown, NJ, Tri-State Fence & Deck is the family-owned contractor that South Jersey homeowners call for vinyl privacy fences, aluminum fences, and Trex composite decks. We handle the zoning paperwork, the 811 utility marking, and the build, and we leave you with a written estimate the same visit.



Woodstown is a Salem County borough, and it sits at the edge of where we build. We have spent 20+ years installing fences and decks across New Jersey, most of it in Gloucester, Camden, and Burlington counties, and we now take projects in Woodstown too.
Our approach starts with a question, not a pitch. What are you fencing, and why? Privacy from a neighbor, a safe yard for kids and dogs, a defined property line, or a deck you will actually use. Once we understand the goal, we match the material and the design to it.
For businesses, commercial chain link is available with privacy slats or a vinyl-coated finish for sites that need both security and a defined boundary.

Transform your property with premium vinyl fencing, designed for strength and low maintenance, vinyl fences provide lasting style and dependable performance.
White vinyl privacy fencing works well for many yards in Woodstown. It will not rot, warp, or require staining, and properly set posts help it maintain a clean line through South Jersey freeze-thaw cycles. We stock 6-foot and 4-foot privacy panels, semi-privacy panels, and lattice-top panels for properties where you want some visibility.

Prefer the natural warmth of wood? We specialize in custom wood fence installations, built from quality cedar or pine for long-term beauty and value.
Wood fencing offers a traditional look that complements many Woodstown properties. We install cedar and pressure-treated pine fencing in a range of styles, including privacy and picket. Wood can be stained or painted to match your home, but it requires periodic maintenance to protect it from moisture, weather, and wear.

For a practical, cost-effective option, chain link fences deliver reliable security and versatility for homes, schools, and businesses.

Ideal for large or agricultural properties, ranch-style fences—including split rail and board rail—combine strength, function, and a timeless rural look.

Add convenience and security with custom automatic gates. Sliding or swinging systems feature reliable access control and automation.
We install swing, rolling, and automated gates to match your fencing. Our gates use hardware rated for ground contact to support reliable operation over time, including keeping the latch working properly beyond the first few years.

Every deck we build uses Trex composite. It is engineered from wood fiber and recycled plastic, so it resists weather and foot traffic without the staining, sanding, and sealing a wood deck demands.
Our decks are laid out to your lot, your shade, and how you actually use the yard. We design them to last for 20+ years and come in several color lines we walk you through at the estimate.

Built for Local Conditions
Fence performance changes by region—what works in Georgia doesn’t always last in South Jersey.Our designs are engineered around South Jersey’s coastal humidity, clay-heavy soil, and freeze-thaw cycles.
Local design considerations we plan for:

The ground under most of Salem County is Alloway series soil, a fine silty clay loam that drains slowly and holds water. From January through April, the seasonal high water table sits 18 to 42 inches down, which is exactly the depth a fence post lives in.
That matters because a post set in wet, slow-draining clay can heave and lean if the footing is wrong. So, on lots like these, we dig deeper, widen the footing, and set posts in concrete rather than in tamped soil. The result is a fence line that stays straight instead of going wavy by the second spring.
Before any post hole gets dug, we call New Jersey One Call, the state 811 program, which requires three full business days' notice to mark underground utilities.
Woodstown handles permits a little differently than some towns, and knowing the order saves you weeks. For any project that changes the footprint of your property, you need zoning approval before you pull a construction permit.
The borough also requires a survey or site plan sealed by a licensed engineer. Hand-drawn plans are not accepted. We prepare and submit this paperwork for you, so you are not standing at Borough Hall trying to figure out which form comes first.
The Construction Office is on the second floor of Borough Hall, 25 West Ave., reachable at (856) 769-2200 ext. 108. Office hours are limited — currently posted as Monday and Wednesday, 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. — so we recommend calling ahead rather than dropping in.

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.

The first step is a free on-site estimate. We walk the property, measure the runs, talk through vinyl versus aluminum, flag anything related to grade or drainage, and hand you a written quote on the same visit.
Once you approve it, we prepare the Woodstown zoning and permit paperwork and schedule the 811 utility locate, which needs three business days. Then we set posts, install panels and gates, and finish with a walkthrough.
From approved quote to finished fence, most Woodstown projects wrap up quickly. Our crews regularly work throughout Salem County, so scheduling a Woodstown install is no different than any of our closer jobs.

Vinyl and aluminum both do well, as long as the posts are set for the soil. Salem County's Alloway clay drains slowly and holds a high water table in late winter, so we set posts deeper and in concrete to prevent leaning. That footing matters more than the material you pick.
No, replacing decking, railings, or stair treads does not require a permit in Woodstown. A permit is only required when you replace structural components such as support posts, girders, or floor joists. If your deck needs structural work, we handle that permit for you.
Yes, every deck we build is Trex composite. No staining, no rot, no yearly sealing, and a 20+ year lifespan. We design each deck to your lot and shade, and walk you through Trex color options at the estimate.
The commonly cited limits are 4 feet in front and side yards and 6 feet in the rear. Because the exact figures should be confirmed against current borough code before you build, we verify them for your specific address.
In most cases, yes, and zoning approval has to come before the construction permit. Woodstown requires zoning approval for any project that changes your property's footprint, plus a site plan sealed by a licensed engineer. We prepare and submit that paperwork for you. In order to confirm the fence zoning requirement, contact the Zoning Official at 856-769-200.
We build across South Jersey, and Woodstown sits within reach of the Gloucester County towns where most of our work happens. If you are near the borough line, we likely cover you.
