Bryn Mawr is home to Bryn Mawr College, a stretch of Lancaster Avenue shops and some of the Main Line’s most admired historic stone homes. It also crosses both Montgomery and Delaware Counties and three townships. 76 FENCE Main Line helps Bryn Mawr (19010) homeowners add fences that honor the character of these properties while meeting each township’s requirements.
One ZIP code, three townships
Bryn Mawr addresses can fall in Lower Merion, Radnor or Haverford Township. Each commonly requires a fence permit or zoning review, and historic districts or HOAs may add design review on top of that. We start every Bryn Mawr project by confirming your municipality, then check the current rules. We never guess at heights, fees or setbacks: rules vary, and we check them for you. See our fence permits page or the Main Line permit FAQ for more.
Fences for historic stone homes
Older stone homes look best with fencing that feels timeless. Black aluminum with a simple flat or spear top gives the classic look of iron without the rust maintenance. Painted or natural picket fences frame front gardens nicely. In the backyard, a board-on-board cedar privacy fence or a stone-friendly wood gate adds seclusion without looking out of place.
Front-yard definition
Low aluminum or picket fencing that marks the yard while keeping the facade on display.
Backyard privacy
Cedar, vinyl or composite privacy panels for a quiet outdoor space.
Pool barriers
Pool fences built to the UCC’s 48-inch minimum with self-closing, self-latching gates; your township inspector has final say.
Aluminum or steel?
Both give historic homes that classic black-iron look, so the choice usually comes down to strength, weight and budget. Aluminum is lightweight, rust-free and follows slopes easily, which makes it a practical choice for longer runs and pool enclosures. Ornamental steel is heavier and stronger, a good fit for entrances, driveway gates and places where security matters. Many Bryn Mawr projects use both: steel at the gate and front walk, aluminum for the rest of the perimeter.
Gates that suit an older property
A gate is often the first thing visitors notice. We can match a wood gate to stone piers, add an arched top to a picket run or build a wide driveway gate in steel. Where daily convenience matters, automatic gates are an option as well.
Installing on older Main Line lots
Bryn Mawr’s older properties often come with mature trees, stone walls and clay-heavy, rocky soil. We plan post locations around roots and existing hardscape, and we set posts below the frost line, typically 30″–36″ in our area; local code governs. Before any digging, we submit the PA One Call (811) locate request. If an old fence needs to come out first, we can tear out and haul it away as part of the job.
“We had 76 Fence come and give us a price on a 6 foot tall gray privacy fence. Andrew's attention to detail is great and his response time to answer any questions was nothing short of impeccable. They showed up 20 minutes earlier than quoted, tore down and hauled away a rotted wood fence, and worked through one of the biggest snow storms and bitter cold. If you are looking for a new fence, we recommend calling 76 Fence.”
“I contacted several fence companies prior to selecting 76 Fence and so glad that I did. They are very responsive and customer focused. They came on time, provided frequent project status updates and followed up on any issues in a timely manner. The fence turned out exactly as we had hoped. Good quality work at a fair price.”
“Andrew pays attention to details and explains the process. This is a great company who treat you like family. The cost was fair and lower than competitors. The replacement chain link fence looks wonderful. Will definitely use again and highly recommend.”

Low-maintenance options that still look classic
Not everyone wants to paint pickets or stain cedar every few years. White vinyl pickets, black aluminum and composite privacy panels all keep a traditional look with far less upkeep. We’ll bring samples and photos to your walkthrough so you can compare them against your home’s stone and trim. Every fence we install is backed by manufacturer warranty coverage, which we offer and honor.
