What Season is the Best to Get a Fence?

When it comes to fence installation on the east coast, many think their only opportunity to get new fence is in the spring or summer. That's not the case. Fences can be installed all year round!

As a trusted South Jersey fence company for decades, our experience has shown us that summer is the busiest time of year for fence installations. We believe that part of that is due to spending more time outdoors and kids being out of school. But that doesn't mean it's the only time!

Can I Get a Fence in the Winter?

Fences can be installed in every season, including the winter. However, there is one thing to consider. Snow, ice, and freezing temperatures make for unpredictable circumstances. This means inclement weather can push back installation dates for days at a time. Weather can affect installation in all seasons, but when it comes to winter storms, they tend to last longer and affect the ground more than rain and other storms.

When Should I Get a New Fence Installed?

So when is the best time to install a fence? The real answer is, it's up to you! Some customers prefer to have a new fence installed in the winter so it's ready to go for the spring and summer, while others would prefer to wait until they'll be outside enjoying their yards more! One thing to consider when planning on a spring or summer fence installation is the time it takes to get approved for a permit, if needed, and to get scheduled for installation.
