Fence Regulations

In order to erect a fence across many of our service areas, there are several city ordinances that must be followed. These rules are in place to protect public safety and property. Fortunately, we can take you through the process of acquiring the necessary permits.

There are numerous other regulations concerning fence heights and where fences can be erected, and there are exceptions to every rule. If you belong to an HOA, please contact them for their fence requirements which could be different than the governing municipality.

Some of the most common regulations include :

• Fences around pools must me at least 48″ tall, measured from the ground on the side away from the pool.
• Openings under the pool enclosure may not allow a sphere four inches in diameter to pass under the pool enclosure.
• Gates must be self-closing and self-latching, as well as lockable and open outward from the pool yard.
• Gates latches must be installed at least 60″ above ground.
