Our Story:

 
 
 
Every great company starts with a simple realization. For Tony Bowling and Cory Hunt, it came from years of working on the other side of the fence—literally.  After nearly two decades of installing fences, building relationships with contractors, and navigating the daily challenges of sourcing quality materials, they saw a gap that no one else was filling: the fencing industry needed a supplier that truly understood what installers and contractors go through every day.

In 2023, they founded Barrier Fencing Supply Company in Supply, North Carolina, combining Tony's deep family heritage in the fencing business with Cory's military discipline and operational expertise. Tony had spent over 18 years in the industry, building and leading several companies before turning his sights to the supply side of the business. Cory, a U.S. military veteran with a background in economics, project management, and process improvement, brought the operational structure needed to turn a bold idea into a scalable company.

Their philosophy was straightforward: build a supply company the way contractors wish every supplier operated—with premium products, honest pricing, and the kind of reliability that keeps jobs on schedule.

What began as a small wholesale operation quickly gained traction. Contractors and distributors across the Southeast took notice of Barrier's commitment to quality materials, competitive pricing, and a genuine understanding of their needs. Within the first two years, the company experienced rapid growth—expanding from a single location in Brunswick County to four facilities across North Carolina, including a 240,000-square-foot headquarters in Chadbourn.

Today, Barrier Fencing is more than a supplier. We are a proud member of the American Fence Association, a BBB-accredited business, and a growing manufacturer of aluminum and vinyl fencing products. Our team of over 40 professionals works every day to ensure our customers, contractors, distributors, installers, and developers have the materials they need to get the job done right. From premium aluminum panels and gates to vinyl privacy fencing, handrails, and a full range of accessories, we carry the products the industry demands.

But what sets us apart isn't just what we sell. It's how we operate. With roughly 90% of our customers coming back order after order, we know that trust is earned on every delivery. Our roots as installers mean we understand the urgency of a job site, the frustration of a delayed shipment, and the importance of materials that perform exactly as promised.

Looking ahead, Barrier Fencing is investing in the future of American fencing manufacturing. We are establishing in-house vinyl co-extrusion production lines at our Chadbourn facility—bringing manufacturing back to North Carolina and giving our customers even greater quality control, faster turnaround, and competitive pricing. Our product line continues to expand into wood, chain link, and steel fencing, and our franchise network is growing to bring Barrier's standard of service to new markets.

From a small town in southeastern North Carolina to contractors across the Eastern United States, our mission remains the same as day one: deliver quality products, build lasting partnerships, and raise the standard for what a fencing supply company should be.

We're Barrier Fencing—and we're just getting started.
