Vinyl Privacy and Semi-Private Fencing
Full privacy vinyl fencing creates a solid visual barrier and is a popular option for backyards, patios and areas close to neighboring homes.
Semi-private designs provide more airflow and visibility while still creating separation between properties.
The right choice depends on the yard, the reason for installing the fence and where the fence will be located.
Vinyl Fencing for Dogs
Solid vinyl privacy fencing can be especially useful for dog owners because it provides both a physical and visual barrier.
Blocking the view through the fence may help reduce distractions from neighboring dogs, pedestrians and activity outside the yard.
Fence height, gate placement and gaps beneath the fence should also be considered based on the size and behavior of the dog.
Vinyl Fencing on Sloped Wildwood Yards
Not every Wildwood property is flat. Changes in grade can affect how a privacy fence looks and how much space remains beneath it.
Vinyl fencing can be installed on many sloped properties, but the layout should be planned around the actual grade rather than assuming the yard is level.
This is particularly important when the fence is being installed for privacy or pet containment.
Vinyl Fence and Gate Repair in Wildwood
Damage to one part of a vinyl fence doesn't always mean the entire fence needs replacement.
Depending on the existing fence and availability of compatible materials, we may be able to replace damaged posts, panels, rails, pickets, gates or hardware.
We can also evaluate vinyl gates that sag, drag or no longer latch correctly and determine whether repair or replacement makes more sense.
Vinyl Fencing Around Swimming Pools
Vinyl fencing can be used around swimming pools when the particular fence and gate configuration meets applicable pool-barrier requirements.
Pool fencing has requirements beyond those of a typical backyard fence, including considerations involving height, openings and gates. Not every vinyl fence configuration should automatically be considered pool compliant.
Pool-related fencing in Wildwood can also involve additional permitting, so the proposed fence should be planned around the requirements that apply to the property.
Do You Need a Permit for a Vinyl Fence in Wildwood?
Wildwood generally requires Municipal Zoning Authorization before installing a fence.
For fences less than six feet high, a separate building permit is generally not required, but City zoning authorization is still required. Fences over six feet and fencing associated with swimming pools can involve additional permitting.
HOA or subdivision requirements may also be more restrictive than the City's requirements and should be reviewed before installation.
Privacy Fences and Front Yards in Wildwood
Fence location is particularly important when considering solid vinyl privacy fencing.
Wildwood requires fencing located within the minimum front yard to have an opaque value of 60% or less. Because a typical vinyl privacy fence is substantially more solid, it may not be appropriate in these locations.
Wildwood also restricts fencing within required sight-distance areas and generally requires fences to remain at least 10 feet from the edge of street pavement.
Concrete-Set Posts, Utilities and Easements
Every vinyl fence post installed by Makic Fence and Deck is set in concrete.
Before digging, we request public utility marking through Missouri 811. Homeowners should identify private underground lines that may not be included in the public locate, such as irrigation systems, invisible dog fences, landscape lighting, pool lines and privately installed utilities.
We also recommend reviewing the property survey for easements before the fence layout is finalized.
