Giving back to the communities we work in is important to us. One project we're especially proud of is a donated fence we're building at Thoroughgood Elementary School in support of the 5th Grade Garden Club. The garden gives students a hands-on place to learn, grow, and work together, and the fence helps create a safe, protected space for that experience.
Projects like this reflect our belief that strong communities start with investing in local schools, students, and shared spaces. When we have the opportunity to support programs that make a positive, lasting impact close to home, we're always glad to step in and help.

At Craftsman Fencing, our strong metal posts are set in a concrete footing at least 24 inches below ground. This keeps your chain link fence stable for many years to come.
Rust is rare on high-quality chain link fences. The key to preventing rust is to buy a quality chain link fence made of galvanized or PVC-coated steel, which features protective layers that prevent the metal from rusting quickly. Trust our team at Craftsman Fencing to install the perfect chain link fence for your property - rust and worry-free!
Vinyl fencing performs well in Virginia Beach because it is naturally resistant to moisture, salt air, and high humidity. Vinyl fencing is made from nonporous PVC, meaning water and moisture bead up on the surface without penetrating it, making it easy to clean off dirt and debris.
Vinyl fencing can withstand coastal winds when it is properly designed and installed. Correct post depth, reinforced rails, and appropriate panel spacing all play a role in maintaining stability during storms and high-wind events. Professional installation from our team ensures your fence is ready to handle whatever comes your way!
Quality vinyl fencing is manufactured with UV inhibitors that help protect against sun damage and discoloration. While no material is completely immune to long-term sun exposure, vinyl generally maintains its color far better than painted or stained wood.
