WOODHAVEN MATERIALS
Pool, Privacy and Pet Fences for Woodhaven Yards
Woodhaven backyards are bigger than older Downriver lots, which means longer fence runs and more room for a pool. Here is what we build there.
Long Runs
Vinyl Privacy Fencing
Virgin PVC, Reinforced Rails
On a long run, maintenance adds up. Vinyl ends the staining cycle, and aluminum-reinforced rails keep every 8-foot section straight.
Heights:
5ft to 6ft
Colors:
White, Tan, Woodgrain
Rails:
Aluminum reinforced
Best For:
Full backyard privacy
No sag on long runs
Pool Barriers
Ornamental Aluminum
Black Powder-Coat Picket
The cleanest way to enclose an above-ground or in-ground pool, with self-closing, self-latching gates and pickets spaced for barrier rules.
Heights:
4ft to 5ft
Finish:
Black or bronze
Gates:
Self-closing, latching
Best For:
Pools
Built for pool inspections
Natural Wood
Cedar & Pine Privacy
Dog-Ear, Shadowbox
Treated pine keeps a long privacy run affordable; cedar shadowbox is the upgrade when you want a natural look on both sides.
Heights:
4ft to 6ft
Wood:
Treated pine or cedar
Styles:
Dog-ear, Shadowbox
Best For:
Budget privacy
Most footage per dollar
Pets
Chain Link Fencing
Galvanized or Black Coated
A strong, low-cost dog yard on a big lot. Black coating blends into the lawn; a wide drive gate lets a trailer or mower through.

4ft to 6ft
Finish:
Galvanized or black

Walk and drive
Best For:
Dogs, big lots
Lowest cost per foot

BUILDING A FENCE IN WOODHAVEN
Planning a Long Fence Run on a Woodhaven Lot
Because Woodhaven was built later than most Downriver cities, lots tend to be wider and many backyards are fully open, with no old fence to remove. That makes layout the main decision: where gates go, whether a pool needs its own inner barrier and how the fence meets the house. A run of 200 feet or more is common, so material choice has a bigger effect on long-term upkeep. Every post goes 42 inches deep in concrete, below the Michigan frost line.
If you have or are adding a pool, the barrier and gate hardware matter as much as the fence itself; we build self-closing, self-latching gates and confirm requirements before installing. Fences are reviewed by the city building department, and most Metro Detroit cities limit front-yard fences to about 3-4 feet; we confirm your lot's rules before quoting.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Woodhaven Fence Questions
Straight answers for Woodhaven homeowners.
What fence do I need around a pool in Woodhaven?
A barrier with self-closing, self-latching gates and no footholds for climbing; black aluminum at 4 to 5 feet is the most common choice. We confirm the city's barrier requirements before we build.
Do I need a permit for a fence in Woodhaven?
Yes, plan on a permit through the city building department. We prepare and file it with a plot plan.
Is vinyl worth it for a long backyard fence?
On long runs, usually yes. Vinyl costs more up front than treated pine, but there is no staining or board replacement, which adds up across 200-plus feet.
How long will my Woodhaven fence take?
One to two days of build time for most yards once the permit is issued. Pool barriers and several gates can add a day.
