Custom wood and vinyl privacy fences built for Salisbury coastal homes, beachside properties, and inland yards. Lifetime workmanship warranty. Family-owned since 1985.
Privacy Fencing Built for Salisbury
Salisbury homes face conditions most fence contractors don't think about. The salt air rolls in off Salisbury Beach and the Atlantic, summer brings tourist traffic, and the sandy soil shifts more than inland lots. Whether your property is steps from the beach, near the Town Center, or set back along Route 1, the fence you put up needs to hold its line against weather, time, and the steady push of coastal wind.
That's where Olympic Fence Company comes in. We've been installing privacy fences across Essex County since 1985, and the coastal stretch from Salisbury through Newburyport is part of our home territory. Every fence uses our proprietary wood-on-steel system or marine-grade vinyl. Every installation is backed by a lifetime workmanship warranty.

Benefits of Privacy Fencing in Salisbury
Privacy fencing in a coastal town does more than block sight lines. Done right, it cuts the wind, drops the noise, and adds real value when it's time to sell.
Block the Coastal Wind
Solid privacy panels cut down the steady wind that comes in off Salisbury Beach and the Atlantic. Your backyard becomes usable on the days the wind would otherwise drive you inside.
Cut Beach Town Noise
Summer brings traffic, beachgoers, and activity through Salisbury. Solid wood or vinyl panels absorb sound the way slatted fences never will. Your yard quiets down.
Salt-Air Durability
Salt corrodes traditional wood posts faster than inland weather ever would. Our wood-on-steel system and marine-grade vinyl are engineered for exactly the conditions Salisbury throws at a fence.
Real Property Value
A professionally installed privacy fence is one of the outdoor improvements appraisers consistently factor into home value. In a coastal market like Salisbury, that matters.

What North Shore Homeowners Are Saying
Real reviews from real customers. We earn the work, then we earn the referral.
I had a fence put in by another company quite a few years ago, but it has needed ongoing maintenance for several years. James and his company have been fantastic. Even though they didn't put in the original fence, they have responded promptly and effectively whenever I have called in need of repair. Very nice to deal with also.
We had our fence repaired by Olympic Fence after a tree fell on it, and they were fantastic from start to finish. They came out quickly, worked efficiently, and did an amazing job. The fence looks brand new. The workers were incredibly kind and pleasant to work with. Highly recommend Olympic Fence Co for anyone needing quality workmanship and great service.
We can't say enough about this company's professionalism, quality of work and materials. James answered all our questions and concerns and offered some very good solutions in a budget we could work with. His team could not have been more respectful of our property and left our yard in pristine condition. If you are looking for a fence that will last and enhance your enjoyment out of your yard they are your crew.

Privacy Fence FAQs (Salisbury, MA)
Do I need a permit for a privacy fence in Salisbury?
Most residential fences 6 feet and under don't require a building permit in Salisbury. Properties within 100 feet of wetlands, the Merrimack River, or designated coastal resource areas (common throughout Salisbury Beach) require Conservation Commission review. We verify the rules for your specific address and handle every application.
What's the best privacy fence material for Salisbury Beach properties?
Marine-grade vinyl is the strongest choice for properties with direct salt-air exposure. It won't absorb moisture, corrode, or fade. Our wood-on-steel cedar system also performs well in coastal conditions thanks to the galvanized steel posts, but for homes within a block or two of the beach, vinyl is typically the longer-lasting investment.
How tall can a privacy fence be in Salisbury?
Most residential lots in Salisbury allow privacy fences up to 6 feet in rear and side yards. Front yard fences are typically capped at 4 feet. Setback distances vary by zoning district. The Beach Center and historic-adjacent areas sometimes have stricter standards. We pull the specific rules for your lot during the free estimate.
How does sandy coastal soil affect privacy fence installation?
Sandy soil drains well but provides less natural support than clay or loam. Our installation method compensates with deeper post holes and properly mixed concrete footings sized for the soil. Steel posts in our wood-on-steel system also resist the lateral movement sandy soil can cause over time. This is exactly the kind of local detail that separates a fence built to last from one that needs adjustments in three years.
How long does privacy fence installation take in Salisbury?
Most residential privacy fence installs in Salisbury take 2-4 days, depending on linear footage, gate count, terrain, and any Conservation Commission review timing. Summer scheduling fills quickly on the coast, so the earlier you book, the faster the project moves.
What does a privacy fence cost in Salisbury, MA?
Pricing depends on linear footage, material, terrain, gate count, and any custom features.

We present Good, Better, and Best options so you can choose what fits your budget.
