Premium Fencing Materials and Custom Products in Massachusetts
Olympic Fence Co installs the fencing materials that stand up to New England weather: northern white cedar, vinyl, chain link, ornamental aluminum and steel, and our proprietary wood-on-steel system. Every fence is custom-built and professionally installed across the North Shore. Family owned since 1985 and backed by a lifetime workmanship warranty.
The Short Version
Olympic Fence Co installs five main fencing materials: northern white cedar, low-maintenance vinyl, galvanized and vinyl-coated chain link, ornamental aluminum and steel, and a proprietary wood-on-steel post system that stops the rot that ends most wood fences early. We also build code-compliant pool fencing, dog fencing, and custom gates. Every fence is custom-built and professionally installed, with residential work within a 30-mile radius of West Newbury and commercial and municipal fencing across a wider area. Every material is backed by our lifetime workmanship warranty, and every project starts with a free estimate.
How does Olympic build with these materials?
The material matters, but so does how it goes in. Every fence we install is built for your property and put in by our own crews.
Custom-Built for Your Property
We do not drop in one-size pre-fab panels. We build to your yard, matching the height, style, and layout to your property line and how you use the space, so the fence fits the first time.

Our own crews handle the whole job across the North Shore, from design and permits to the final gate latch, and every install is backed by our lifetime workmanship warranty.

Five core materials, each chosen to hold up to real New England weather. Not sure which one fits your yard? Our full range of fencing services is built around helping you pick the right fence the first time.
Northern White Cedar Fencing
Nothing matches the warmth of real cedar. Northern white cedar naturally resists rot and insects, ages into a soft silver-gray if left unfinished, and can be stained to match your home. Paired with our wood-on-steel system, a cedar fence lasts far longer than the standard wood-post build.

Proprietary Wood-on-Steel System
The most common reason a wood fence fails is the post rotting at the soil line. We solved that. Our wood-on-steel system sets the natural look of a wood fence on galvanized steel posts, so the fence stands straight through freeze-thaw cycles and wind that would knock a standard build out of line. You will not find this from most local installers.
Low-Maintenance Vinyl Fencing
Vinyl is the go-to for homeowners who want privacy and curb appeal without the upkeep. It never needs paint or stain, holds its color through hot summers and freezing winters, and rinses clean with a garden hose.

Ornamental Aluminum & Steel Fencing
For an upscale look that holds its line for decades, ornamental metal is hard to beat. Aluminum never rusts and needs almost no care, while steel brings serious strength where security matters most. Both come in powder-coated finishes that shrug off salt air.

Chain-Link Fencing
Chain-link is the practical workhorse: affordable, strong, and almost maintenance-free. It is a smart pick for keeping kids and pets safely contained, marking a boundary, or securing a commercial site without blocking the view.

Some jobs call for a purpose-built solution. We handle code-compliant pool enclosures, pet containment that actually keeps your dog in the yard, and custom gates and hardware to finish any fence.
Pool Fencing
Massachusetts safety code requires a barrier around in-ground pools. We install pool fencing that meets the rules and still looks like it belongs in your backyard, most often in ornamental aluminum with self-closing, self-latching gates.

Dog Fencing
Give your dog room to roam and yourself some peace of mind. We build secure pet containment sized to your breed, with spacing and heights that keep diggers and jumpers safely in the yard.

Custom Gates & Hardware
A gate gets used every day, so it has to be built right. We make custom walk gates and double-drive gates to match any fence style, hung on commercial-quality hinges and latches that keep working through years of New England seasons.
Already have a fence that needs attention? We also handle fence repairs and gate service.
Do you handle commercial and municipal fencing?
Yes. Alongside our residential work, we install fencing and the specialty services a commercial or municipal job needs, for businesses, schools, and town departments across a wider service area.
Why do homeowners choose Olympic for their fence?
We are not the cheapest fence in town, and we never try to be. We focus on the best value: quality materials, careful installation, and a warranty that actually means something.
Our Wood-on-Steel System
Steel posts under wood fencing will not rot at the base like traditional wood posts. The result is a fence that stands straight through freeze-thaw cycles year after year. You will not find this build from most local installers.
A Lifetime Workmanship Warranty
Most fence companies in the area back their work for two or three years. We stand behind our installation for life, because we expect it to last and we are here when you need us.
Family-Owned, Two Generations
Olympic Fence has been a family business since 1985. We know the local terrain, the permit process, and what holds up here, and we treat your property like it is in our own neighborhood.
What do North Shore homeowners say about Olympic Fence?
I highly recommend Olympic Fence. Communication, installation and attention to detail were outstanding. They worked within my budget and were much more reasonable than two other quotes that I got.
- Regina C.I am very happy with the fence recently installed in my backyard by Olympic Fence. James met with me on multiple occasions to determine the best material, design and location. I was impressed and appreciative when James offered to contact the local municipality to ensure compliance with local conservation regs. I would recommend James, Emily and Olympic Fence without reservation.
- Jim C.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.

Which fence material is best for the New England climate?
It depends on what matters most to you. Vinyl and ornamental aluminum shrug off snow, rain, and salt air with almost no upkeep. Cedar handles the cold beautifully and looks classic, but needs a little care over time. Chain-link is the most budget-friendly and barely notices the weather. Whatever you choose, our wood-on-steel posts are built to survive the freeze-thaw cycles that knock other fences out of line.
What is the best low-maintenance fence?
Vinyl and aluminum are the two lowest-maintenance options we install. Neither one needs paint or stain, and a quick rinse keeps them looking new. Aluminum is the pick if you want an upscale, see-through style. Vinyl is the pick if you want privacy and a solid wall. Both come with our lifetime workmanship warranty.
How long does a cedar fence last?
A well-built cedar fence typically lasts 15 to 25 years, and often longer in our climate when it is installed on steel posts instead of wood ones. The most common failure point on a wood fence is the post rotting at ground level. Our wood-on-steel system removes that weak spot, so the cedar above it gets to live out its full life.
Do you offer replacement parts for an existing fence?
Yes. We keep replacement parts and gate hardware on hand as part of our repair and gate service, so a damaged section or a failed latch does not always mean a whole new fence. See our fence repair and gate service.
How do I choose between vinyl, cedar, chain-link, and aluminum?
Start with the job the fence needs to do: privacy, security, pet containment, pool safety, or curb appeal. Then weigh your budget and how much upkeep you want. There is no single right answer, which is why James walks each property before recommending a material. The goal is the right fence for your yard, not the most expensive one. Reach out for a free estimate and we will talk it through.
Do you install fencing for commercial properties?
We do. Alongside our residential work, we install security fencing, gates, coring, bollards, guardrails, and code-compliant systems for commercial and municipal sites across a wider service area. You can see the full scope on our commercial services page.
