Privacy Fencing in West Newbury, MA. Built by Your Hometown Crew.
Custom wood and vinyl privacy fencing for West Newbury homes. Headquartered right here on Garden Street since 1985.
Your Neighbors. Your Fence Company.
West Newbury is more than our service area. It's our hometown. Olympic Fence Company has been headquartered at 81 Garden Street since 1985, and our crews have built fences across this town for two generations. From the rolling pastures off Main Street to the wooded lots near Artichoke Reservoir and the historic homes lining the Merrimack River, we know how West Newbury's properties are laid out. We know what holds up in this climate. And we know what looks right next to a 200-year-old farmhouse.
A privacy fence in West Newbury isn't just about blocking sight lines. It's about defining property edges on bigger lots, creating a quiet retreat from Route 113, and giving kids and pets a safe yard to run in. Every fence we install uses our proprietary wood-on-steel system or marine-grade vinyl, backed by a lifetime workmanship warranty.

Why West Newbury Homeowners Choose Privacy Fencing
The numbers that matter when you're investing in a fence built to last as long as the house behind it.
Cedar That Lasts
Cedar on galvanized steel posts holds its line through three decades of New England seasons.
No Permit Needed
Most West Newbury residential lots allow privacy fences up to 6 feet in rear and side yards.
Quieter Backyard
Solid privacy panels measurably cut down road noise from Route 113 and Main Street traffic.
Lifetime Warranty
Every install backed for life. If it fails because of how we built it, we come back and fix it.
Privacy Fencing Solutions
Two main material paths. We help you pick based on the look you want, the upkeep you'll accept, and how the fence has to age next to your home.
Cedar Privacy Fencing
Classic cedar panels deliver the rustic, natural look that fits West Newbury's historic farmhouses and scenic properties. Cedar weathers to a warm silver or holds its tone with stain. The right choice when your goal is craftsmanship that visibly belongs.
- Natural warmth that complements historic homes
- Stain, paint, or let weather naturally
- Handles freeze-thaw cycles year after year
- Pairs with wood-on-steel for added longevity
Marine-Grade Vinyl Privacy Fencing
For homeowners who want the privacy without the upkeep. Vinyl looks new for 35+ years - no painting, sealing, or staining. Stays crisp in summer humidity, doesn't crack in winter cold. The modern, clean look that works on any property. Browse our full vinyl fencing options.
- 35+ year manufacturer-rated lifespan
- Zero maintenance - hose it off and walk away
- Multiple colors and textures available
- Won't fade, warp, or absorb moisture
The Wood-on-Steel System
Our proprietary upgrade: cedar privacy panels mounted on galvanized steel posts instead of standard wood posts. Rotting wood posts are the number one reason traditional cedar fences fail before year ten. Our system solves that. Available on every cedar privacy installation in West Newbury, and the reason our wood fences are still standing decades after the competition's needed replacing.

What Our Neighbors Are Saying
Real reviews from real customers. Two generations of West Newbury work earns referrals one fence at a time.
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.
