Allen's 2024 building code: what the climate table means for your fence
The City's new code adoption restates the wind, frost and termite numbers a fence in Allen has to live with. Here is how each one shows up in a fence design.
Maintenance
Fence care after a North Texas summer
Summer heat shrinks the clay, bakes the boards and invites termites. A short walk along the fence in fall catches the problems while they are still small.
Planning
HOA approval first, then the Allen fence permit
The City of Allen's fence guideline tells owners to check with their HOA before applying for a permit. Doing it in that order saves a redesign.
Projects
Planning a fence around a new pool in Allen
A new pool turns the backyard fence into a safety barrier with its own rules. Planning it alongside the pool, not after, avoids a failed inspection.
Ask about your fence line
Tell us the length, the height and the gates, or send a photo. The estimate starts from the line on your lot.
