Wrightsville Beach properties need fences built for island life — constant salt exposure, high winds, and sandy soil. Flytrap Fence installs coastal-rated fences engineered for WB's demanding conditions. Locally owned, 5-year warranty on every project.
Wrightsville Beach is the premium end of the Cape Fear coastal market — multi-million-dollar homes, the strictest town code in the area, and exposure that combines the worst of salt spray with sound-side wind tunneling around Banks Channel. Town of Wrightsville Beach permitting, Harbor Island setbacks, and oceanfront CAMA jurisdiction all factor into every fence quote we write here.
Flytrap Fence has installed fences throughout Wrightsville Beach, from the Parmele neighborhood to Harbor Island to homes along Airlie Road. The material conversation here is short: vinyl, powder-coated aluminum, or — for owners who insist on wood — premium cedar with annual maintenance. Standard pressure-treated pine doesn't survive direct salt-and-surf exposure for more than a few seasons, and we won't sell it for an oceanfront install.
Whether you're fencing a primary residence, a vacation rental, a pool area, or defining your lot lines, we'll recommend the right material and build it to last. Every installation is backed by our 5-year workmanship warranty.
The #1 choice for Wrightsville Beach. Zero maintenance, completely rust-proof, and impervious to salt spray. Privacy, semi-privacy, and picket styles available.
Elegant, rust-free aluminum is perfect for WB pool enclosures and front-yard boundaries. Meets all pool barrier codes. Powder-coated for maximum coastal durability.
Pressure-treated Southern Yellow Pine with marine-grade treatment for coastal ground contact. Requires regular sealing but delivers unmatched natural beauty for island homes.
Vinyl-coated chain link for utility areas, pet enclosures, and commercial properties. Proven salt-air performance at the most affordable price point.
Direct surf-side exposure on the east side of the island gets a different material spec than sound-side or interior lots — we use marine-grade powder-coated aluminum or premium vinyl on oceanfront, and we'll honestly tell you that pressure-treated wood is a bad investment if your property is in the salt-spray plume. The recommendation depends on which side of Lumina Avenue you're on.
WB has the strictest fence code in the area: maximum heights vary by location, side-yard setbacks are tighter than off-island, oceanfront fences fall under CAMA jurisdiction, and the town's permit process is more involved than mainland New Hanover. We've worked through it many times and know which inspectors to call before staking the line.
Every fence backed by our comprehensive warranty. If our work doesn't hold up to coastal conditions, we come back and fix it.
Almost every Wrightsville Beach job is on a high-value property — landscaping that can't be torn up, hardscape that costs more than the fence, neighbors who will notice if our truck blocks the street for an hour too long. We treat WB job sites accordingly: clean staging, daily cleanup, and crew that knows how to work around a finished property.
Fully licensed and insured in North Carolina. Your island property is protected on every project.
WB combines loose sandy soil with sustained sound-side wind tunneling — a fence that's plumb on install day can lean within a season if the posts aren't set right. We go 36–42 inches deep with oversized concrete footings on every WB job, and use hot-dipped galvanized or stainless hardware so the connections outlast the posts.
We install coastal-rated fences throughout Wrightsville Beach and the surrounding area, including:
