Fencing in Port Isabel

Port Isabel sits right on the Laguna Madre at the foot of the Queen Isabella Causeway, the bridge to South Padre Island. It's a historic fishing town with homes, vacation rentals and businesses packed close to the water. Fences here face the toughest conditions in the Valley: salt spray, constant humidity and the full force of Gulf storms.

Materials that last on the water

• Vinyl: won't rot, rust or need paint. A top choice for privacy and picket fences near the bay.
• Aluminum: won't rust and keeps water views open. Great for front yards, pools and decks.
• Vinyl-coated chain link: an affordable fence with extra rust protection.
• Wood: possible, but plan on galvanized steel posts, stainless fasteners and regular sealing.
• Bare or painted steel: usually a poor choice this close to salt water.

Building for coastal storms

Port Isabel takes the brunt of tropical weather. Fences here should be built with:

• Deep post holes set in concrete
• Close post spacing, especially for solid privacy fences
• Reinforced vinyl posts or steel posts
• Open or semi-privacy designs on the most exposed sides
• Heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant gate hardware

Vacation rentals and businesses

Many properties in Port Isabel are rentals or businesses. Owners want fences that look good, keep guests' pets and kids safe, define parking and need almost no maintenance between seasons. Vinyl and aluminum are popular for exactly that reason. Tell us how the property is used and we'll match you with the right contractor.

Near the landmarks

From the historic Port Isabel Lighthouse to the waterfront by the causeway, the town has a lot of character. Many homeowners choose white vinyl picket or aluminum fences that fit the coastal look.

Upkeep near salt water

Rinse fences with fresh water every month or two to wash off salt. Check gate hinges and latches often, since salt makes them stick. Touch up any scratches on metal immediately. Walk the fence after every storm.

Fences for decks and pools

Many Port Isabel homes have raised decks, pools or outdoor kitchens that need a railing or barrier. Aluminum and vinyl railings hold up well in salt air and match the rest of the fence. For pools, ask about the local barrier requirements, including height and self-latching gates, before the work starts.

After a storm on the coast

If a storm damages your fence, photograph everything before cleanup, stay away from downed lines and check with your insurer. Then call us, and we'll match you with a contractor who handles coastal repairs. After big storms, contractors on the coast get busy quickly, so it pays to call early.
