Fences on Wrightsville Beach, where the wind does not let up
Hurricane Florence made landfall near Wrightsville Beach in 2018. Island fences are built with that in mind.
Wrightsville Beach is an island town east of Wilmington across the Intracoastal Waterway, with houses packed between the ocean and Banks Channel. Lots are small and valuable, many homes are raised, and the yard space that exists is mostly for parking, an outdoor shower and a small patio. Fences here are often short runs of screening rather than long enclosures, and they are seen up close by everyone walking by.
The coast is not gentle on them. Hurricane Florence came ashore near Wrightsville Beach on September 14, 2018, and the island sits squarely in the high-wind zone of the North Carolina Residential Code. We use open or semi-open designs where possible, horizontal cedar slats with a gap, aluminum, or semi-privacy vinyl, set posts deep in the sand, and choose stainless or coated fasteners that will not streak the wood.
Island work also means tight access and parking, so we plan deliveries and the size of equipment around the street. Town rules on height, setbacks and flood zones apply, and we check them before ordering.
