Why Invest in a Quality Fence?

A fence is more than just a boundary; it’s an investment in your property’s safety, privacy, and aesthetic. Here’s why so many Chester County residents choose Dunbar Fence for their fencing needs:

​

• Privacy and Security: Keep pets and children safe while deterring unwanted visitors.

Popular Fence Types

​

Choosing the right fence depends on your specific needs and preferences. Here are the most popular options we install at Dunbar Fence:

 

1. Wood Fencing

Wood fences offer timeless beauty and natural warmth. They’re perfect for privacy, noise reduction, and classic curb appeal. We recommend cedar or pressure-treated pine for durability.

 

2. Vinyl Fencing

If you’re seeking a low-maintenance, long-lasting solution, vinyl fencing is a fantastic choice. It resists weather, insects, and rot—plus, it comes in a variety of colors and styles.

 

3. Aluminum Fencing

Aluminum fences combine strength and elegance, making them ideal for both security and decorative purposes. They’re also rust-resistant and suitable for pool enclosures.

 

4. Chain Link Fencing​

For highly-visible and durable fence, chain link fences are hard to beat. They work well for backyards, sports areas, and commercial properties, offering a long-term fence option.

 

5. Custom Fencing Solutions

At Dunbar Fence, we specialize in custom designs. Whether you want a unique color, artistic panels, or custom gates, our team brings your vision to life.

​

How to Choose the Right Fence for Your Property

With so many options, how do you decide? Here are some factors to consider:

 

Purpose

Are you prioritizing privacy, security, aesthetics, or pet containment? For privacy, a tall wood or vinyl fence is best. For decorative appeal, aluminum or custom designs shine.

 

Maintenance

Think about how much time you want to spend on upkeep. Wood fences may require staining or sealing to maintain appearance, while vinyl, aluminum and chain-link are virtually maintenance-free.

 

Budget

We offer fencing solutions for every budget. Split-rail and slipboard wood fences are the most affordable, while vinyl, aluminum, or custom fencing can be higher-end investments.

 

Local Regulations

Chester County and many local municipalities have specific fencing codes and permit requirements. Our team handles all the details, so you don’t have to worry.
