Coastal Fence Installation Experts for Bald Head Island
Bald Head Island presents unique challenges for fence installation. As a ferry-access-only community on the southern tip of the Smith Island Complex, every material and piece of equipment must arrive by barge across the Cape Fear River from Southport. At NC Fence Co, we've mastered the logistics of island fence installation, coordinating with Bald Head Island Limited to ensure your project runs smoothly from estimate to completion.
The island's salt air environment demands specialized materials. Standard wood fencing deteriorates rapidly here — we've seen cedar fences need replacement within 5 years due to salt exposure. That's why we recommend vinyl fencing and marine-grade aluminum for Bald Head Island properties. These materials resist corrosion, require minimal maintenance, and maintain their appearance for decades in coastal conditions.
As your Bald Head Island fence contractor, we handle everything: ferry scheduling, barge transport coordination, Architectural Review Committee (ARC) applications, Brunswick County permits, and professional installation. Our crews are experienced with island work and understand the importance of respecting this unique maritime forest environment and the sea turtle nesting areas along the beaches.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fencing on Bald Head Island
How does fence installation work on Bald Head Island?
We coordinate all ferry logistics through Bald Head Island Limited from Deep Point Marina in Southport. Materials arrive via barge, and our crew takes the passenger ferry. We handle all scheduling and transport coordination — you don't need to arrange anything. Most residential installations complete in 2-3 days once materials arrive on-island.
What fence materials work best on Bald Head Island?
Vinyl and aluminum fencing perform best in Bald Head Island's salt air environment. Vinyl never rusts, never needs painting, and withstands coastal humidity. Marine-grade aluminum with powder coating resists corrosion for 20+ years. We use stainless steel hardware exclusively — standard galvanized hardware corrodes within 2-3 years on the island.
Do I need a permit for a fence on Bald Head Island?
Yes. All exterior construction on Bald Head Island requires approval from the Architectural Review Committee (ARC). NC Fence Co handles the ARC application process, including required drawings and material specifications. Most fence applications are reviewed within 2-3 weeks. Brunswick County may also require a building permit for fences over 6 feet.

We provide detailed, all-inclusive estimates with no hidden fees.
What fence styles are allowed on Bald Head Island?
The ARC requires fencing that complements the island's natural aesthetic. White, tan, and gray vinyl are typically approved.
