Do I need permission from municipalities, HOA, or a building permit?Updated 6 months ago

We have had many customers utilize our fencing systems in communities with HOAs!

In order to be the most effective, the system should be installed at a height of at least 6 ft and is considered semi-permanent because it can easily be removed if needed. Because of this it often does not require any building permits. Depending on your particular layout, you may need to secure some small components directly to the home, however, which may go against some HOA rules.

Of course, rules and regulations of what is acceptable are often up to the individual HOAs or municipalities, so it is important to check with your association/municipality prior to purchasing the fence to ensure that you are able to install it.

Freestanding Cat Fence:
The height of the Freestanding Fence System is adjustable between 6-7 ft and is considered semi-permanent because posts are not set in concrete. Because of this, the Freestanding Fence will meet most zoning ordinances. However, we always recommend checking with your local municipality if you have concerns.

The posts are inserted into ground-driven sleeves rather than held in place with concrete. These sleeves will go into the ground approximately 22”. If you have buried electric or gas lines in or near the fenced area, you may consider contacting your local utility provider to locate the lines before installing the fence.

Existing Fence Conversion System:
The height of the Existing Fence Conversion System is dependent on the height of your existing fence and can be adjusted by simply mounting the system at an appropriate height. However, we do not recommend a finished height of less than 6 ft. The system is considered semi-permanent because it can be easily removed from the fence if needed. However, always recommend checking with your local municipality if you have concerns.
