Vinyl Fence
Vinyl fencing delivers the clean, finished look of painted wood without the ongoing maintenance.

Aluminum and ornamental iron fencing adds an elegant, open feel to your property while still providing security and defined boundaries. These styles are ideal for front yards, pool enclosures, and properties with HOA requirements. Aluminum is powder-coated for rust resistance and virtually maintenance-free.

Cedar Fence
Cedar is a naturally beautiful wood that resists moisture, insects, and decay better than most other species — making it a premium choice for homeowners who want the warmth of a natural wood fence with above-average durability. A properly installed and sealed cedar fence can last for decades and age gracefully over time.

Chain Link Fence
Chain link fencing remains one of the most practical and cost-effective solutions for containing pets, securing perimeters, and defining property lines without blocking sightlines. We install residential chain link in galvanized and vinyl-coated finishes, and we can add privacy slats if you want more screening without the cost of a full privacy fence.

Split Rail Fence
Split rail fencing brings a rustic, country character to residential properties throughout Alamance County. It’s one of the most affordable fence styles available and works beautifully for light property definition, decorative landscaping borders, and homes with a traditional or rural aesthetic. It can also be paired with wire mesh for basic pet containment.

How to Choose the Right Residential Fence
With so many options available, choosing the right fence for your property can feel overwhelming. Here’s a straightforward breakdown of the most common needs and the fence types best suited to each one.
- Privacy. If blocking the view from the street or neighboring properties is your top priority, wood or vinyl privacy fencing is your best option. Both provide full visual screening at heights up to 8 feet.
- Pet containment. Dogs need a fence with no gaps at the bottom, sufficient height, and materials they can’t easily chew through. Chain link, vinyl, and wood privacy fences all work well for keeping pets safely in the yard.
- Pool fencing requirements. North Carolina has specific building code requirements for pool barriers. Aluminum ornamental fencing and certain vinyl styles are commonly used for pool enclosures because they meet the required height and self-latching gate standards.
- HOA restrictions. If your neighborhood has a homeowners’ association, you may be limited in the styles, heights, and colors you can install. Aluminum and vinyl fencing tend to satisfy most HOA guidelines.
- Budget considerations. Chain-link and split-rail fencing offer the most fence per dollar if your primary goal is containment or property definition. Wood and vinyl fall in the mid-range. Cedar and ornamental aluminum are premium options with higher upfront costs but excellent long-term value.
- Low maintenance vs. natural look. If you want to spend as little time as possible on upkeep, vinyl or aluminum is the right call. If you love the look of natural wood and don’t mind some occasional maintenance, cedar or pressure-treated wood will give you that warm, organic aesthetic.

Frequently Asked Questions — Residential Fence Installation in Burlington, NC
How much does residential fence installation cost in Burlington, NC?

Burlington Fence and Deck provides free on-site estimates so you’ll have a firm number before you commit to anything. Schedule yours here.
Do I need a permit for a fence in Burlington, NC?
In most cases, yes. Burlington and Alamance County both have permit requirements for residential fences, particularly above certain heights or in front yards. We handle all permitting on your behalf — we know exactly what’s required and take care of the filings before installation begins.
How long does fence installation take?
Most residential projects are completed in one to two days once installation begins. Larger properties or complex layouts may take longer. Permit processing from the City of Burlington or Alamance County can add several business days before we’re cleared to start.
What is the most low-maintenance fence type?
Vinyl fencing requires the least ongoing maintenance — no painting, staining, or sealing required. Aluminum is similarly low-maintenance. Wood and cedar offer natural beauty but require periodic staining or sealing to maintain their appearance and extend their lifespan.
Do you install pool fencing that meets NC code?
Yes. We install pool barrier fencing that complies with North Carolina residential building code requirements — minimum height standards, maximum gap clearances, and self-latching gate specifications. We apply for the appropriate permits and ensure your pool enclosure passes inspection.
