Fence Installation in Cheyney
JHL Fence Company installs and replaces fencing throughout Cheyney, Pennsylvania and the surrounding Delaware County area.

Cheyney sits in Thornbury Township near the Chester and Delaware County line, with the university grounds at its centre and semi-rural residential property around it.
Parcels are larger than the county average and the ground rolls, so property-line and frontage fencing over varied grade is the typical work rather than tight suburban privacy fence.
Thornbury Township governs fencing here, with setback requirements that apply to road frontage.
Local condition worth knowing
Cheyney's larger parcels and rolling ground mean fence lines here are usually stepped or racked rather than run level.

Common questions
Fence Questions in Cheyney, PA
Do you need a permit to install a fence in Cheyney, PA?
In most cases yes. Fence permits in Delaware County are issued at the township or borough level, and requirements differ between neighbouring municipalities. We prepare and file the application for your Cheyney address as part of the installation, along with any HOA architectural review submission.
How tall can a fence be in Cheyney?
Six feet is the residential standard permitted by right in rear and side yards across most of Delaware County, with front and street-facing yards commonly limited to four feet. Corner lots are frequently treated as having two front yards. Because the limit is set by your specific municipality and separately by any HOA, we confirm both before quoting a height for a Cheyney property.
What fence materials do you install in Cheyney?
Western red cedar, pressure-treated wood, vinyl, powder-coated aluminum, ornamental metal and chain link. Which suits a Cheyney property depends on grade, exposure, what the fence needs to do and whether an HOA restricts material or colour. We walk the line with you before recommending one.
How much does a fence cost in Cheyney, PA?
Cost is driven by linear footage, material, height, the number of gates and how much grade the line crosses — a stepped run on a slope takes more posts and more labour than the same footage on level ground. We provide a free written estimate after an on-site assessment rather than quoting by the foot over the phone.
Which office serves Cheyney?
Our West Chester office at 701 S Franklin St, Suite 107, West Chester, PA 19382 serves Cheyney. You can reach that office at (610) 890-4988. We are open Monday through Saturday, 8am – 7pm.
How long does a fence installation take in Cheyney?
Most residential fence projects are one to two days of on-site work, with posts set and allowed to cure before panels or boards are hung. Larger properties, significant grade or complex gate systems extend that to two or three days. Township permit turnaround is separate and varies by municipality.
