Every Tri-State Fence & Deck project follows the standards required by South Jersey township and county codes—from post depth and frost line clearance to concrete set times and gate spacing.
Our crews follow a structured checklist developed over 20 years of regional experience to ensure your fence or deck passes inspection and stands the test of time.
What defines our craftsmanship:
Posts set to South Jersey frost depth (typically 30"–36" minimum, depending on township)
Concrete mixed and cured per ASTM fence-post standards.
Vinyl and aluminum rails reinforced with steel or aluminum inserts where required.
Deck framing built with weather-rated fasteners and NJ-approved joist spacing
Site cleanup and gate alignment were verified before the customer walkthrough.

Vinyl’s UV-resistant finish ensures years of curb appeal with minimal upkeep.
Vinyl and aluminum benefit from routine rinsing; wood looks best with periodic sealing. Keep gates reliable with hinge and latch checks, and test operator safety sensors seasonally.
Our installation work, like setting up posts, panels, gates, and hardware, is protected by a 3-year workmanship warranty. This warranty covers normal use. It is separate from the manufacturer's material warranty. Please note that some exclusions may apply.
Most towns require zoning approval for new fences, with stricter rules for pool barriers and fences over certain heights. Guidance is provided for surveys, township submittals, and HOA packets to help approvals go smoothly in South Jersey.
