Tri-State Fence & Deck installs fences and decks across Swedesboro Borough and Woolwich Township — two separate municipalities with different permit offices and different rules. We handle both. Every post gets set to the full 36-inch frost depth required by Gloucester County code, in soil that's literally named after this town. We are licensed and insured, and we back every installation with a 3-year workmanship warranty.
Swedesboro and Woolwich Township are a mix of HOA communities, historic Borough properties, and preserved farmland, so fence requirements here vary from one neighborhood to the next. We match each fence to your lot layout, HOA guidelines, and local soil conditions, including the acidic sandy loam common throughout the area that affects long-term durability.
Transform your property with premium vinyl fencing, designed for strength and low maintenance, vinyl fences provide lasting style and dependable performance.
The go-to for Weatherby, Beckett, and most Woolwich Township HOAs. White vinyl privacy panels hold up against Gloucester County's summer humidity without the staining or sealing wood demands every two years. Vinyl won't corrode in Swedesboro's acidic soil either — a real advantage over untreated metal here.

Enhance your property’s appeal and protection with a durable, rust-resistant aluminum fencing. Its elegant, open design works well in residential and commercial settings.
Open sightlines with corrosion resistance that matters in this area's glauconite-rich soil. We install powder-coated aluminum exclusively — untreated steel pits fast in ground contact at the pH levels found across Swedesboro and Woolwich Township.
Explore Aluminum Fences
Enhance your property’s appeal and protection with a durable, rust-resistant aluminum fencing. Its elegant, open design works well in residential and commercial settings.
Woolwich Township requires pool barriers at a minimum of 48 inches with a self-latching, self-closing gate and no gaps over 4 inches. Swedesboro Borough sets the range at 4 to 6 feet. We build according to the code that applies to your address and handle the permit.

Enhance your property’s appeal and protection with a durable, rust-resistant aluminum fencing. Its elegant, open design works well in residential and commercial settings.
We install swing, rolling, and automated driveway gates. Gated communities like Four Seasons at Weatherby have specific entry standards — we match gate hardware and automation to existing community infrastructure.

Prefer the natural warmth of wood? We specialize in custom wood fence installations, built from quality cedar or pine for long-term beauty and value.
Western red cedar and pressure-treated pine for homeowners who want a natural look. We use ground-contact-rated lumber on every Swedesboro install, since the soil acidity here breaks down standard pressure-treated lumber faster than you'd see in less acidic soil. Posts go to the full 36-inch frost depth in concrete.

Fence performance changes by region—what works in Georgia doesn’t always last in South Jersey.Our designs are engineered around South Jersey’s coastal humidity, clay-heavy soil, and freeze-thaw cycles.

Pool enclosure safety regulations
Swedesboro and Woolwich Township sit on the USDA's Swedesboro Series — a glauconite-laced sandy loam more conductive than the Downer-series ground found elsewhere in Gloucester County, which accelerates galvanic corrosion on any aluminum post set in direct soil contact. Because of that, we use a compacted gravel drainage base under every aluminum post here rather than direct burial. It's the difference between a post lasting 15 years and one lasting 4 to 5 years.
Local design considerations we plan for:
Swedesboro Borough and Woolwich Township are separate municipalities with different zoning offices and height limits — most newer developments fall under Woolwich Township, while the historic Kings Highway core is Borough. We identify which office governs your address at the estimate and submit the correct application to the appropriate place.
What defines our craftsmanship:
Permit coordination included:
Weatherby and The Preserve at Weatherby sit on former agricultural land graded for development, where the topsoil layer runs thinner than older Borough lots along Kings Highway. We verify footing depth on every install rather than assuming consistent conditions across the lot.
Beckett and Lexington Mews have tighter lot lines than older Woolwich Township parcels, with side-yard fences running close to property boundaries. We verify surveys before a single post goes in — not after a neighbor disputes the line.
Properties along Raccoon Creek and its tributaries may fall within FEMA flood zones. We check flood zone status at the estimate stage and flag any required NJ DEP permits before materials are ordered.
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.
