Fencing built for coastal Virginia
Hampton Roads is hard on fences. Sandy soil shifts, nor'easters push panels sideways, and salt air eats cheap hardware. A fence that lasts here starts below the ground: posts at proper depth, set in concrete, with hot-dipped galvanized or stainless hardware up top. That's the standard on every Post & Pour installation, whether it's 40 feet of picket or 400 feet of privacy fence.

Common questions about fencing in Virginia Beach
How much does fence installation cost in Virginia Beach?
Most wood privacy fences in Virginia Beach run $30–$55 per linear foot installed, depending on height, material grade, and gate count. Vinyl typically runs $40–$70 per linear foot. Every quote is itemized so you can see exactly what drives the number.
Do I need a permit for a fence in Virginia Beach?
Fences under 8 feet generally don't require a building permit in Virginia Beach, but corner lots, drainage easements, and properties in the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area have extra rules. We check your parcel before we quote.
How deep do you set fence posts?
A minimum of one third of the post below grade — typically 24 to 30 inches for a 6-foot privacy fence — set in concrete, with deeper footings for gate posts. Sandy coastal soil punishes shallow posts, so we don't cut this corner.
How long does installation take?
Most residential fences finish in 1–3 working days once materials are on site. We schedule posts one day and let the concrete cure before hanging panels.
