Old Town
Many Old Town homes sit inside Key West’s historic district, where new fences can go through extra review (HARC) before they’re approved. We’ll talk through what that means for your property at the estimate and plan your fence around it.

A Key West fence company that lives here too
Island Fence is a family owned and operated fence company based in Key West at 1109 17th Terrace. For more than 25 years we’ve been building fences for our neighbors across the island and the Lower Keys — backyard privacy fences, pool fences, dog runs, driveway gates, and secure perimeters for businesses, government sites, and industrial properties.
We know Key West lots can be tight, the ground can be rocky, and the weather doesn’t take it easy on anything left outside. So every project starts the same way: we come out, walk the property with you, listen to what you need, and put together a personalized plan for height, style, gates, and layout. Then our crew installs it with the care you’d expect from someone who lives down the street.

Built for the Keys
Materials that stand up to salt air and storm season
Salt air, strong sun, heavy rain, and hurricane season are part of life in Key West. We help you choose materials that make sense for where your property sits — whether you’re a few blocks inland or right on the water. PVC/vinyl and vinyl coated chain link won’t rust or rot the way bare metal and unsealed wood can, and aluminum is a good fit when you want an open look. We’ll be straight with you about the pros and cons of each option so you get a fence that keeps looking good for years.
One of our favorite recent projects: a chain link aviary built for rescued birds. If you can picture it, we can usually plan it. See more of our work →

FAQ
Key West fence questions
Do you install fences in Key West itself, or just the Lower Keys?
Both. Island Fence works all over Key West — Old Town, New Town, and the neighborhoods in between — plus Stock Island, Key Haven, Sugarloaf, and the rest of the Lower Keys up to Marathon.
Do I need a permit for a fence in Key West?
Most fence projects in Key West need a permit, and we take care of it for you. We pull the permit and handle the inspections as part of the job, so you don’t have to deal with the paperwork.
My house is in Old Town. Can I still get a new fence?
Usually, yes, but homes in the historic district can have extra review before a fence is approved, which can affect height, style, and materials. We’ll talk through it at your free estimate and build that into the plan and the timeline.
What fence material holds up best to Key West salt air?
PVC/vinyl and black vinyl coated chain link are popular here because they don’t rust or rot the way bare metal and unsealed wood can. Aluminum is another good option. We’ll recommend what makes sense for your property, your budget, and how close you are to the water.
How much does a fence cost in Key West?
It depends on the length of the fence, the material, the height, and how many gates you need. That’s why every project starts with a free estimate — we walk the property with you and give you a price based on your actual plans.
