Professional Fence Installation on Tybee Island

Tybee Island is Savannah’s beach — a small barrier island about 25 minutes east of downtown where the Savannah River meets the Atlantic Ocean. With roughly 3,000 year-round residents, a thriving vacation rental market, and some of the most intense salt air exposure in the Savannah metro, Tybee Island presents unique fencing challenges that most contractors don’t fully appreciate.

Every fence on Tybee Island is under constant assault from salt spray, ocean humidity, tropical storms, and UV exposure. Standard galvanized chain link rusts within a few years. Untreated wood fences can rot in half the time they would inland. Even hardware — screws, brackets, hinges — must be marine-grade stainless steel or they’ll corrode. Savannah Gate and Fence understands these conditions and installs fences with materials and methods specifically chosen for barrier island environments.

Tybee’s building codes and zoning also create specific requirements. Lot sizes are typically smaller than mainland Savannah, which means fences are closer to structures, property lines, and neighbors. Setback requirements, height restrictions, and flood zone regulations all factor into fence design on Tybee Island. We navigate these requirements for our customers and ensure every installation is fully compliant.

Best Fence Materials for Tybee Island

Vinyl fencing is the undisputed champion for Tybee Island. It cannot rust, rot, or corrode. Salt air has zero effect on it. It never needs painting, staining, or sealing. A vinyl fence installed on Tybee today will look essentially the same in 20 years with nothing more than occasional cleaning. For privacy fencing, property line fencing, and decorative applications, vinyl is the material we recommend most often for Tybee Island properties.

Aluminum fencing is the best option for pool enclosures, decorative fencing, and applications where an open-picket look is desired. Powder-coated aluminum is rust-proof and handles salt exposure without degradation. We use stainless steel fasteners for all aluminum fence installations on Tybee Island — standard zinc-plated hardware will rust and stain the fence.

Wood fencing on Tybee Island requires significant ongoing maintenance. If you choose wood, we install cedar (which has natural rot resistance) and apply marine-grade sealant. Plan on resealing every 1-2 years to maintain protection. Pressure-treated pine is less ideal on Tybee due to the extreme moisture exposure, but it can work with diligent maintenance.

Chain link fencing must be vinyl-coated (not just galvanized) for Tybee Island. The vinyl coating prevents the steel core from contacting salt air. Standard galvanized chain link will begin rusting within 2-3 years on Tybee.

Vacation Rental Property Fencing

Many Tybee Island property owners operate short-term vacation rentals, and fencing serves important functions for rental properties: defining outdoor living areas, containing guests’ pets (many Tybee rentals are pet-friendly), providing privacy from neighboring properties, and securing pool areas. We install durable, low-maintenance fencing that looks good in listing photos and survives constant tenant use.
