What National Fence Systems Inc does

National Fence Systems, Inc. is a privately held New Jersey corporation founded in 1985 and headquartered in Avenel, NJ, operating from a 50,000 sq ft manufacturing facility on four acres. The company designs, manufactures, and installs fencing systems for residential, commercial, and industrial customers, with proprietary product lines including the Gemstone Ornamental Aluminum Fence (offered in Diamond, Emerald, Jade, Opal, Quartz, and Topaz variants), the Intrepid Ornamental Steel Fence, the Classic Vinyl Fence with lifetime warranty, Traditional Wood Fence, and The Arch Backstop. Recent additions include the Contemporary Vinyl Fence and Agate Horizontal Aluminum Fence lines, addressing modern architectural demand. Beyond manufacturing, the company operates a direct installation services business across Central and Northern New Jersey, a wholesale distribution channel serving fence contractors and dealers on the East Coast, the Rent-A-Fence temporary fencing rental division (with 3–24 month terms), and an Automatic Gate Operator division furnishing and servicing slide, swing, and hydraulic operators.

Revenue mechanics are diversified across four streams: full-service installation projects (professional services), wholesale fence material distribution (hardware sales), temporary fence rentals (usage-based with monthly terms), and gate operator sales/installation/service (professional services). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; customers engage through a New Jersey showroom, phone sales, and website quote request forms. Named institutional customers span municipal government (Riverfront Park, Southwest Park, George Washington Bridge Northwalk, Evergreen Cemetery, Elizabeth Marina, Newport Green Park), healthcare (University Medical Center of Princeton), education (The Goddard School), commercial real estate (Giralda Farms), real estate development (Four Ponds), and agriculture (Lord Stirling Farms). All products are Made in America and the firm is a member of the American Fence Association. Go-to-market combines sales-led direct installation crews (each led by a foreman with 20+ years of experience), enterprise field sales for municipal and institutional projects, direct-to-consumer showroom sales, and wholesale supply to the East Coast trade channel.
