FENCES TROY ASSOCIATIONS APPROVE
Materials That Pass Review in Troy Subdivisions
Many Troy associations limit color, height and style, and some favor open designs over solid privacy. These four systems cover almost every approval we see.
Most Approved
Ornamental Aluminum
Black Powder-Coat Picket
The style associations say yes to most often. Open black pickets define the yard, contain pets and meet pool barrier rules without blocking the neighborhood look.
Heights:
4ft to 5ft
Finish:
Black or bronze
Tops:
Flat or spear
Best For:
HOAs, pools
Spec sheet for your board
Privacy Where Allowed
Vinyl Privacy & Semi-Privacy
Virgin PVC, Reinforced Rails
Where solid fences are allowed, vinyl in tan or woodgrain is an easy approval and never needs the staining some associations require on wood.
Heights:
5ft to 6ft
Colors:
White, Tan, Woodgrain
Tops:
Flat, Lattice
Best For:
Patios, back lines
Color samples for review
Natural Wood
Western Red Cedar
Shadowbox & Board-on-Board
Finished on both sides, so it looks right from your patio and the neighbor's yard. A common choice for screening a deck or hot tub corner.
Heights:
4ft to 6ft
Wood:
Western Red Cedar
Styles:
Shadowbox, Horizontal
Best For:
Patio screens

BUILDING A FENCE IN TROY
Two Approvals, One Fence: Getting It Right in Troy
In a lot of Troy neighborhoods the association approval is the harder one. Boards typically want a drawing showing where the fence sits on the lot, the height, the style and the color, and some restrict solid fences or limit them to areas around a patio. We prepare that packet with manufacturer spec sheets and a site sketch so your submittal is complete the first time.
The city building department then reviews the permit. Corner lots, easements along rear lot lines and front-yard height limits are the usual sticking points; most Metro Detroit cities limit front-yard fences to about 3-4 feet, and we confirm your lot's rules before quoting. Every post is set 42 inches deep in concrete. More on the county at our Oakland County page.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Troy Fence Questions
What Troy homeowners ask before they apply.
Does my Troy HOA have to approve a fence?
If your subdivision has an active association, almost certainly. Check your deed restrictions or ask the board. We prepare the drawing, spec sheets and color samples they typically ask for.
Do I need a city permit for a fence in Troy?
Yes, fences are reviewed by the city building department. We file the permit after your association approves the design.
What fence style is easiest to get approved in Troy?
Black ornamental aluminum at 4 to 5 feet is the most widely accepted. Solid privacy fences are allowed in many neighborhoods but are more likely to have placement limits.
Can I fence around my pool in Troy?
Yes. We build aluminum pool barriers with self-closing, self-latching gates and confirm the barrier requirements with the city before installation.
Do you install commercial fencing in Troy?
Yes. We install chain link perimeter fencing, gates and enclosures for office, retail and industrial properties.
