When most fence companies arrive at a property, they’re working from stock panels. At Everlasting Fence, every section starts in our custom woodshop in Glenside: cut, framed, prepped, and/or finished to fit your yard before a single post goes in the ground.
Our primary material is western red cedar. It’s naturally rot-resistant, holds stain well, and handles Philadelphia winters without warping or checking the way pressure-treated pine can. Done right, a cedar fence installation lasts 15 to 20 years with basic maintenance. Stain it regularly and that number goes up.
We’ve been building them this way since 1980. Over 100,000 fences installed across Montgomery, Delaware, Bucks, Chester, and Philadelphia Counties.
Board-on-board – also known as shadowbox style – is a popular wood privacy fence design. Pickets alternate on both sides of the rail, overlapping slightly, to give you a sense of privacy without feeling congested. It also looks finished on both sides – yours and your neighbor’s.
Available in 1×4” or 1×6” western red cedar or pressure-treated wood, with an array of different style options to choose your design – and as always with custom designs available through our woodshop.
Found a design in your neighborhood you want to match, or noticed an image on Pinterest? Bring it to your estimate. Our woodshop can match it.
Horizontal wood fencing offers cleaner lines and a more contemporary look than traditional vertical styles, while delivering the same privacy and the same cedar construction. It works particularly well when the fence is visible from the street: Main Line properties, newer construction, or any project where curb appeal matters. Every section is custom-fabricated to your yard’s dimensions, with rails that run clean without visible seams.
Pickets set side by side with no gaps. Full privacy and a clean face. Available in 1×4” or 1×6” cedar or pressure-treated wood, with multiple picket top options and the ability to add domed or scalloped sections.
The sturdiest wood privacy options we build. Boards interlock directly, framed with 1×4” boards on both sides. Fewer customization options than solidboard, but maximum structural integrity. Works well where wind exposure is a factor. A premium fencing option.
Pre-manufactured in 8-foot sections from spruce. Available in 4-, 5-, 6-, and 8-foot heights. The right call for straightforward projects where budget is the priority.
Cedar and pressure-treated options in Gothic, Williamsburg, Dog Ear, Contemporary, and Miter Cut styles. Spacing options available, including BOCA-compliant configurations for pool fencing.
Our standard post. These 4×4 and 5×5 pressure-treated posts are installed by default on every wood fence we build. Resistant to decay and rot, they’re built to last up to 20 years in the ground. Larger posts can be ordered, if needed.
Available as a special-order item in 4×4 and 6×6 sizes. Red cedar posts can last up to 15 years depending on local soil conditions. A good option when a fully cedar installation matters aesthetically.
The longest-lasting post option we offer. Set in concrete footers using special wood-to-metal adapters, galvanized pipe posts can last 40 or more years. Pressure-treated wood can be sleeved over the pipe for added durability and a finished look.
A post top or cap is a small detail that makes a visible difference. We offer Flat Top, Contemporary, Dog Ear, Pyramid, Gothic, and French Gothic styles. Worth considering if the fence is visible from the street or you’re finishing a higher-end installation.
Every fence needs at least one good gate. Ours are custom-built in our Glenside woodshop to match your fence in material, style, and finish. Walk gates, double gates, and driveway gates are all available. If you saw a design you like, bring it to your estimate. We can build it.
We also build pergolas, arbors, cedar planters, and wall trellises for property owners who want to go beyond the fence line. And if you’re looking for deck or porch railings, we install those too.
Cedar is naturally rot-resistant, but staining is what protects your investment. A properly stained fence absorbs less moisture, resists mold, and holds its color through freeze-thaw cycles. Skip it and you’ll shorten the fence’s life by years. We advise staining your fence every 3 – 5 years.
We offer professional staining services and a biannual maintenance plan that covers inspection, repair, and re-staining. If your existing fence hasn’t been touched in a few years, we can assess it and put a plan together.
We’re based in Glenside and work throughout Montgomery, Delaware, Bucks, Chester, and Philadelphia Counties, along the Main Line, and in select South Jersey communities. If you’re not sure where we cover your area, call us. Chances are, we do.
Western red cedar averages 15 to 20 years with proper maintenance, longer with regular staining. Post depth, soil conditions, and sun exposure all play a role. We’ll give you an honest read during your estimate.
Cedar resists rot naturally, without chemical treatment. Pressure-treated wood forces preservative into the grain. It’s more resistant to insects and ground contact, but it can crack as it dries. For above-ground panels, cedar is the better choice. For posts and anything in direct ground contact, pressure-treated makes sense. We’ll walk you through the right combination for your project.
Board-on-board – also known as shadowbox style – is a popular wood privacy fence design. Pickets alternate on both sides of the rail, overlapping slightly, to give you a sense of privacy and a finished look on both sides.
In most Philadelphia-area municipalities, yes. Residential fences are generally limited to 6 feet in the backyard and 4 feet in the front. Requirements vary by township. We manage the permit application as part of your installation.
It depends on the style, material, linear footage, grade changes, and gate placement. We don’t work from ballpark numbers. We’ll come out and view your property, then give you a detailed estimate.
Everlasting Fence has been building custom wood privacy fences across the Philadelphia area since 1980. A wooden fence built right the first time can protect your family for many years.
