Fences
How fence height is measured
A 6 foot fence can measure short if the ground outside it is high.
This is an independent referral guide. It connects homeowners with independent providers and may receive compensation. It is not a licensed contractor and it does not do the work.
The method
Chandler's pool fencing page says heights are measured on the exterior side from the top of the foundation to the lowest point of elevation within a line 5 feet from the fence. Where height varies, the average height of most of the fence is used, and it must be at least 6 feet at all times.
Older fences
Fencing built before September 1986 must be at least 5 feet 6 inches and must not compromise life safety.
Curbs
A concrete curb of up to 4 inches is allowed under combined masonry and wrought iron.
