Frequently Asked Questions
Question 1: Do I need a permit to build a fence in Florida?
A: Many counties and cities in Florida require permits for new fence installations. Rules vary by location, so it’s best to check with your local building department. We can help you navigate these requirements and make sure your fence follows all local codes.
Question 2: Which fence materials work best in Florida's humid climate?
A: Vinyl and aluminum fences are popular because they resist moisture, rust, and insects. Wood fences can still be a great option, but they need proper sealing or staining to protect them from rotting in Florida’s humidity.
Question 3: How tall can my fence be in Florida?
A: Fence height limits often differ between residential and commercial properties, and can change based on local rules. Usually, front yard fences range between 3–4 feet tall, while backyard fences can go up to 6–8 feet. Always check your local ordinances or homeowner association guidelines.
Question 4: How often should I maintain or repair my fence in Florida?
A: It depends on the material and weather exposure. Wooden fences may need sealing or painting every 1–2 years, while vinyl and chain-link fences require less maintenance. Regular inspections—especially after storms—help you catch small issues before they become big problems.
Question 5: What type of fence helps keep out wildlife in Florida?
A: A sturdy fence with minimal gaps, such as a 6-foot vinyl or chain-link fence, can discourage small animals like raccoons or armadillos. For larger wildlife, consider installing taller fencing and using materials strong enough to handle impacts or climbing attempts.
Question 6: Should I paint or stain my wooden fence to protect it from Florida's harsh weather?
A: Yes, applying a protective coating is highly recommended. Staining helps maintain a natural look, while paint can provide a more uniform color. Either way, a good sealant blocks moisture and UV rays, extending the life of your fence.
