What styles of fence can I install in Norristown?

Norristown borough does not have many restrictions when it comes to the style of fence you can install.  Norristown does ban barbed wire, razor wire, and electric fences.  If you live within the borough of Norristown, your back yard fence cannot be taller than 6 feet high and the front yard fence cannot be taller than 4 feet high. If you are looking for a fence to provide privacy, vinyl fencing and wood fences are a good choice.  Keep in mind that when installing a wood fence, the finished side must face the neighbor’s property.  All structural beams must face your house.  If you would like to hide the structural beams, double sided privacy wood fences or shadow box  wood fencing are great alternatives to a standard stick built wood fence.

In the front yard installing a vinyl picket fence, wood picket fence, or a stockade fence is a great way to stay within the height restriction without blocking any views.  If you live on a corner lot make sure to leave a clear sight triangle of 75 feet from the fence to the intersection.

Now, all of that said, downtown Norristown is typically a bit more difficult. This is due to the amount of construction, replacing sidewalks and etc. in this historic area. Paramount Fencing, Inc. does work with a surveyor that “typically” charges $550 for a property less than a half of an acre. Check our blog, Do I need a Survey to Install a Fence.
