A Note about Fence Height Ordinances

We hope one of these high fence ideas meets your needs and sparks your imagination! While we offer fences up to 8 feet tall, many municipalities and townships don’t permit fences higher than 6 feet for residential properties. Make sure to check with your local ordinances before having anything installed. By far the most common height of tall fences we install is 6 feet as it provides more than enough privacy and security for almost anyone.
