Fence Services
Fence Installation Cornelius — Aluminum, Pool and Lakefront Fencing
Timber Fencing installs aluminum and pool fencing, wood and vinyl privacy fences and gates for Cornelius homeowners, and repairs fences near the lake and in town.
The west side of Cornelius drains straight to Lake Norman, and lakefront and near-lake homes make up a large share of the town. Those properties usually call for an aluminum fence that keeps the water view, a pool barrier, or a vinyl fence that holds up to moisture. On the east side, it is more often a backyard privacy fence. Timber Fencing, a Charlotte fence company, covers Cornelius from its Lake Norman region.

What to Know Before Building a Fence in Cornelius
Lake Norman shapes much of Cornelius, and that changes how a fence should be planned.
Lakefront Lots Want Open Views
On Cornelius lots near Lake Norman, a solid fence can block the reason you bought the house. Aluminum fencing defines the yard while keeping the water in view.
Moisture Near the Water
Ground near the lake stays wetter. We set posts in concrete and recommend materials, such as aluminum and vinyl, that handle moisture well.
Two Sides of Town
West of I-77, Cornelius drains to the lake; east of it, toward the Rocky River. Zach checks drainage on your lot before laying out the fence.
