Fence Types

Every Fence Type, One Contractor

Wood Privacy Fencing

Classic board-on-board and stockade designs in pressure-treated pine and cedar. Ideal for backyard privacy and curb appeal.

Vinyl Fencing

Virtually maintenance-free privacy and semi-privacy panels in white, tan, gray, and wood-grain textures.

Aluminum Fencing

Elegant ornamental fencing perfect for front yards, pool enclosures, and properties that need visibility with security.

Chain Link Fencing

Economical boundary fencing in galvanized or vinyl-coated finishes. Available with privacy slats for added screening.

Composite Fencing

Premium composite panels that combine the beauty of wood with the durability of synthetic materials.

Split Rail Fencing

Rustic boundary fencing ideal for larger properties, horse pastures, and defining property lines with character.

Guidance

Choosing the Right Fence

The right fence depends on your primary goal. For maximum privacy, we recommend 6-foot wood board-on-board or vinyl privacy panels. For pool enclosures, aluminum fencing meets Delaware code requirements while maintaining visibility.

For property boundaries on larger lots, split rail or chain link offers cost-effective solutions. For curb appeal, ornamental aluminum or composite fencing adds elegance to your front yard.

Fence FAQ

Fence Installation Questions, Answered

Fence costs vary by material and length. Average 2026 prices per linear foot installed: chain link ($15-25), wood privacy ($30-50), vinyl privacy ($35-65), aluminum ($30-55), composite ($45-75). A typical 200-foot residential fence costs $3,000-13,000 depending on material. Gates, terrain difficulty, and old fence removal affect the final price. Contact us for a free detailed estimate.

Privacy fences (wood or vinyl, 6 feet tall) add the most value to Delaware homes, typically recouping 50-70% of their cost at resale. Vinyl privacy fences are particularly valued by buyers because of their low maintenance. In upscale areas like Hockessin and Greenville, quality wood fences with clean lines are also highly valued. The key is choosing a style that complements your home and neighborhood.

New Castle County requires permits for most residential fences. Height restrictions typically limit backyard fences to 6 feet and front yard fences to 4 feet. Setback requirements vary by zoning district. If you live in a community with an HOA, you'll also need HOA approval. ProDecks handles all permit applications and HOA submissions as part of our installation service.

Most residential fence installations take 1-3 days once we begin work. A simple 100-foot fence can often be completed in a single day. Larger projects, complex terrain, or fences requiring concrete footings may take 2-5 days. The permit approval process (1-3 weeks) and material ordering (1-2 weeks) occur before installation begins.

For overall durability in Delaware's climate, vinyl and aluminum are the top performers. Vinyl resists moisture, rot, insects, and UV damage with a 25-30+ year lifespan and zero maintenance. Aluminum won't rust or rot and lasts 20-30 years. Composite fencing is also excellent but costs more. Wood is the least durable option unless meticulously maintained.

Yes! ProDecks offers fence repair services for all fence types. We can replace damaged boards or panels, re-set leaning posts, fix gates, and repair storm damage. In some cases, repairing is more cost-effective than replacing. We'll inspect your fence and give you an honest recommendation — we'll never push for a full replacement if a repair will do the job.
