Need privacy, style, safety, or to establish boundaries?

Start by deciding whether you need a full enclosure or a fence for specific areas. You might choose one style or height for the front or side yards and something more private for the backyard. Not sure? Our fence experts can help.

Check your property survey or plat map.

If you're unsure, consider hiring a surveyor to prevent future disputes. Contractors can help, but they're usually not liable for property line errors.

Contact your HOA or zoning office about:

  • Height restrictions
  • Setback rules
  • Permits required
  • Approved colors or styles (if applicable)

Measure and mark your planned fence lines.

Mark gate spots, slopes, or obstacles like trees, driveways, or utility boxes in the area.

Explore different styles such as Seclusions, Solitudes, Horizons, and Rail Fence..

Choose your gates, pick a color that fits your home, and decide between full privacy, semi-private, or decorative fence styles.

Contact us, a contractor, or a local Trex distributor for help and don't forget gates, posts, hardware, and accessories too.

Choose a contractor with Trex fencing expertise.

Check past Trex installs and ask for client references.

Ensure access is clear and call 811 to mark underground utilities.

Remove furniture or landscaping that may block the installation area.

No need to sand, stain, or paint your fence.

Just rinse occasionally with a hose or gentle soap if needed.
