Fence Company Brooklyn

Brooklyn is a fence town. No other borough has this mix — landmarked brownstone blocks with 130-year-old ironwork, detached Victorians with wraparound yards, industrial corridors lined with security fencing, and tight rowhouse backyards where a good cedar fence is the difference between a fishbowl and a sanctuary. We install fences in every corner of it, and we know the rules change block by block.

What Brooklyn Fencing Actually Involves

In brownstone Brooklyn — Park Slope, Brooklyn Heights, Fort Greene, Bedford-Stuyvesant — the work is often restoration: areaway railings, stoop fences, and courtyard gates in wrought iron, frequently inside landmark districts where the Landmarks Preservation Commission reviews visible changes. We fabricate to match original profiles and handle the documentation your LPC filing needs.

In the borough's detached-home neighborhoods — Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights, Marine Park, Mill Basin — it is full-perimeter residential work: cedar privacy fences for backyards, vinyl for low-maintenance lots, and driveway gates where the lot allows. In Bushwick, East New York, and the industrial waterfront, commercial security fencing and chain link dominate — lots, yards, and sites that need real perimeters.

Brooklyn's Rules, Block by Block

Citywide, the zoning basics are consistent: 4-foot maximum for front-yard fences in most residential districts, 6 feet for side and rear yards. But Brooklyn adds local texture. Corner lots — common in Bay Ridge and Flatlands — have visibility restrictions at the intersection. Landmark districts add the LPC layer. And shared rear lines between rowhouses are a fact of life here; we recommend a survey or a written neighbor agreement before building on a party line, because handshake deals on fences are how neighbor wars start.

Fences under 8 feet generally do not need a DOB building permit, but that is a general rule — landmark status, corner-lot conditions, and commercial uses can change the answer. We confirm the rules for your specific lot before quoting, so the price we give you is the price of a fence you can actually build.
