Fence Installation & Repair services in Madison
Do not buy fence material in Madison until you have read the city's fence ordinance. It is one of the most detailed in the metro. A building permit is required before any fence goes up. The standard height limit is 6 feet. Fences over 30 inches are not allowed in a required front yard, with a few listed exceptions. Wood fences that face a street must show the smooth side to the street, and lots with streets on two sides have tighter material rules. On top of that, nearly every subdivision here has an architectural committee with its own list. So our first visit in Madison is mostly measuring and reading: the plat, the covenants and the ordinance. After that the building is simple. Yards are generous, access is easy, and the main thing to plan for is clay that swells in a wet winter and cracks open by August.
