- An 811 locate before we dig

Fence rules change from town to town
Heights and permits are local:
- Raleigh needs a zoning permit for every new or moved fence, and bans chain link in front and side-street setbacks.
- Cary needs no permit for most fences up to 8 ft, unless you are on a thoroughfare or collector street.
- Holly Springs needs no permit, but caps front-yard fences at 4 ft and backyard fences at 6 ft.
- Fuquay-Varina needs no permit, and privacy fences need a 2-inch gap at the bottom for stormwater.
We check your lot's rules before we quote a height.

Pool fences
A pool barrier has stricter rules than a yard fence. Garner and Holly Springs both call for at least 4 ft of fence around a pool, and Holly Springs also requires a self-closing, self-latching gate. In Cary and Raleigh, the pool fence is permitted with the pool. We build aluminum and vinyl pool fences with code-ready gate hardware.

Fence questions
How much does 200 ft of fencing cost?
At Angi's 2026 Raleigh rates, 200 ft runs about $2,200 to $6,400 in wood at 4 ft, $5,800 to $12,800 in six-foot wood privacy, and $2,000 to $5,600 in six-foot chain link. Gates are extra.
How much does a 100 ft wood fence cost?
About $1,100 to $3,200 at 4 ft and $2,900 to $6,400 for six-foot privacy, using Angi's Raleigh per-foot figures.
Do I need permission for a 6 ft fence?
In most of our towns, 6 ft is allowed in side and rear yards. Raleigh and Garner still need a zoning permit; Cary, Knightdale, Holly Springs and Fuquay-Varina need none for a normal backyard fence. HOAs often have their own rules.
How long does fence installation take?
Angi says most crews put up 100 to 200 ft of wood fence in one to three days. Permits, HOA approval and the 811 locate come first.
