Fence Craft recently completed a residential vinyl privacy fence installation in Dortches, North Carolina, transforming an open backyard into a secluded outdoor living space for a local family. The project, finished earlier this spring, featured a custom-height vinyl privacy fence engineered for Eastern North Carolina soil conditions and designed to require minimal upkeep over its lifespan.
Before the installation, the homeowners faced direct sightlines from a neighboring property and an adjacent road, along with road noise that limited the family's use of the backyard. The household had also considered a traditional wood fence but expressed concern about the long-term staining, sealing, and replacement work that wood typically requires in the humid Eastern North Carolina climate.
The Fence Craft team installed a solid-panel vinyl privacy fence with deep-set posts anchored in high-PSI concrete, a method the company developed specifically for the sandy soils and saturated ground common across the Rocky Mount and Dortches area. The hardware selected for the project includes corrosion-resistant hinges and latches, components chosen to hold up against the humidity that often shortens the life of standard metal fittings in coastal North Carolina. Gate alignment was adjusted to account for seasonal heat expansion, a step that helps prevent the sagging and binding that homeowners often encounter on lower-quality installations.
Vinyl, also known as PVC fencing, does not require painting, staining, or sealing and can typically be cleaned with a garden hose. The material carries a manufacturer warranty through Elite, one of the suppliers Fence Craft works with on residential vinyl projects. The completed installation in Dortches met local setback requirements, and Fence Craft handled the permit process on behalf of the homeowner, as the company does for most projects in the counties it serves.
The project also includes a 12-month craftsmanship guarantee from Fence Craft, which covers workmanship for the first year following installation. Natural material characteristics, storm damage, and environmental conditions fall outside the workmanship guarantee but may be covered under the manufacturer warranty for the vinyl materials.
"Privacy fencing is one of the most common requests we get from families in Nash County, and vinyl is often the right answer when homeowners want the look of a solid wood fence without the maintenance that comes with it," said Roy Garner, president of Fence Craft. "Every fence we put up carries our company name, so we build them to still look right years from now, not just the day we drive away."
Fence Craft serves homeowners across Nash, Edgecombe, Wilson, Johnston, Franklin, Halifax, Warren, and Northampton counties, with vinyl privacy fencing representing one of its most-requested residential offerings. The company offers complimentary on-site estimates and currently includes a free gate with privacy fence projects of 200 linear feet or more.
