BUILDING ON THE BAY
Wind, Water Views and Subdivision Rules
Wind off Anchor Bay is the biggest structural factor here. A 6-foot solid fence acts like a sail, so on exposed lots we set every post at 42 inches in concrete, reinforce vinyl rails with aluminum, and steel-stiffen gate posts so latches stay aligned. Where a solid fence is not essential, shadowbox cedar or aluminum reduces wind load. Ground near the water can be soft and high in clay, so we size footings for it.
Many of New Baltimore’s newer subdivisions have HOAs that set style, color and height, and waterfront lots often have view or setback considerations. Most Metro Detroit cities limit front-yard fences to about 3–4 feet; we confirm your lot’s rules with the city building department and your association before quoting, then prepare the HOA packet with spec sheets and a site sketch for vinyl or any other material.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
New Baltimore Fence Questions
What lakeside and subdivision homeowners ask.
What fence works best on a New Baltimore waterfront lot?
Ornamental aluminum. It keeps the bay view, lets wind pass and does not rust. If you need some privacy near a patio, a short section of vinyl or shadowbox cedar can be combined with it.
Will a vinyl privacy fence hold up to wind off Anchor Bay?
Yes, when posts are set at 42 inches in concrete and rails are aluminum-reinforced. Most wind damage we see comes from shallow posts and hollow rails.
Do I need HOA approval for a fence in New Baltimore?
If your subdivision has an HOA, almost always. We prepare the spec sheet, color sample and site sketch your board needs, and we also file the city permit.
How long does a fence take in New Baltimore?
The build is usually one to three days. Allow one to three weeks for permit and HOA approval.
Do you remove the old fence?
Yes. Tear-out, footing removal and haul-away are itemized on your quote.
