Why Can’t You Have Fences Over A Certain Height?
Fences come in many different heights, and for good reason – different sized fences serve different purposes. Depending on your needs, wants, and can-dos, you may choose a short, 3 foot picket fence or an 8 foot fortress of privacy. The placement of your fence, such as your front yard or backyard, can affect the height of your ideal fence. Unfortunately, local regulations may dictate height for you and limit your options. That’s often the first concern for homeowners, but it’s not the only reason to think about height. Here are some considerations when deciding on the perfect fence height for you.
Should I buy individual fence pickets or pre-made fence panels?
If you’re considering building your own fence, you’ve probably done research to determine what type of fence you want, how to prepare your yard, and what tools you will need.

Fence Etiquette: Who Gets the Good Side?
When you get a new fence, you can’t just think about yourself—you have to consider your surrounding neighbors.

However, your fence may be in your yard, but your neighbors are still going to see it every day from their yards or windows. There are a few rules of fence etiquette you should keep in mind before you go forward with the installation.
How Close Can I Put A Fence to My Property Line?
Building your fence directly on top of your property line has the obvious benefit of enclosing your entire yard, giving you the maximum area in which to play, plant, and relax. Whether or not it’s a good idea to do that, though, depends on a few factors, including where you live and your neighbor’s feelings on the new fence. We’ll help you figure out how close you can build your fence to your property line.
