Vancouver's Local Fence Installers
Cool Cat Fence builds fences all over Vancouver — the historic grid around Hough, Arnada and Shumway near downtown, Rose Village and Vancouver Heights, the east side from Mill Plain and Bennington to Cascade Park and Fisher’s Landing, and north toward Hazel Dell, Felida and Salmon Creek. Vancouver jobs are run by our Portland-area team, about 20 minutes across the I-5 Bridge. A few miles east in Camas we replaced an old fence with 116 feet of 6-foot horizontal cedar, 82 feet of hog wire and a matching gate on steel posts.
Many Vancouver yards are newer east-side lots with HOA rules, while older neighborhoods have narrow lots and mature trees along the property line. Clark County’s wet winters and east winds through the Columbia Gorge are hard on fences, so we use concrete-set posts, steel posts where wind is a concern, and a bottom board to keep wood off wet soil.

Our Fence Services in Vancouver
Horizontal cedar suits the newer homes in Cascade Park, Fisher’s Landing and Felida. Our Camas job pairs 6-foot horizontal cedar with open hog wire sections for a clean, modern line.
Cedar privacy fences are still the standard in older Vancouver neighborhoods. We build them on concrete-set posts with a pressure-treated bottom rail so the boards stay off damp ground.
Cedar-framed hog wire keeps pets in without blocking the view — ideal for garden beds and for lots near Burnt Bridge Creek and Salmon Creek greenways.
Galvanized or black chain link is a practical fence for dog runs, side yards and commercial lots along Fourth Plain, Mill Plain and Highway 99.
Ornamental iron works in front of the house, where Vancouver limits fences to 5 feet and requires the top foot to be mostly open — open pickets meet that easily.
Vinyl is one of the most requested fences in Vancouver. It won’t rot, split or need stain, it holds up to Gorge winds, and many east-side HOAs already list white or tan vinyl as approved.
ColorMAX steel panels make a solid privacy fence that won’t warp — a strong choice for windy east Vancouver lots and yards facing busy roads like 164th Avenue.
Gates, toppers, lattice and post caps finish the job. On HOA lots we match approved styles and colors, and we size drive gates for RV and side-yard access.
Vancouver’s rainy winters gray new cedar fast. A quality stain seals the wood against moisture and UV — we stain new fences and refresh older ones.

Permits & Local Fence Rules in Vancouver
Inside city limits, fence heights depend on whether the fence is in front of the house or along the sides and back. Hazel Dell, Salmon Creek and Felida are in unincorporated Clark County, which has its own rules, and many east-side HOAs add more. We check all three before we quote. See Vancouver Municipal Code 20.912.
In residential zones, fences in front of the house’s front wall can be up to 5 feet, and the top foot must be at least 80% open.
Solid fences in side, street-side and rear setbacks are limited to 6 feet — the standard backyard privacy height.
A building permit is needed for fences over 6 feet and for walls 4 feet or taller. Standard fences need no land-use permit.
Fences can’t block vision clearance at intersections and driveways; there, fences usually stay under 30 inches. Call 811 before any digging.

Your Vancouver fence is built by Cool Cat Fence employees from our Portland-area team, not day-hire subcontractors. They work on both sides of the Columbia, so they know Clark County soil, Gorge winds and how HOA rules affect a fence.

Fence Questions From Vancouver Homeowners
Do I need a permit for a fence in Vancouver, WA?
Not for most fences. Inside Vancouver city limits a standard fence needs no land-use permit, but a building permit is required for fences over 6 feet and walls 4 feet or taller. If you live in Hazel Dell, Salmon Creek or Felida, Clark County rules apply instead — we confirm which ones during the free estimate.
How tall can a fence be in front of my house?
In residential zones, a fence in front of the house's front wall can be up to 5 feet, with the top foot at least 80% open — open pickets, lattice or hog wire work. Along the sides and back, solid fences can be 6 feet. Near corners and driveways, keep fences low enough for drivers to see.
Is vinyl a good fence for Vancouver's weather?
Yes. Vinyl doesn't rot or need staining through long rainy winters, and a properly set vinyl fence handles the east winds out of the Columbia Gorge well. It's also an approved material in many Vancouver HOAs. If you want a wood look, horizontal cedar on steel posts is the other popular choice.
Do you repair fences in Vancouver?
Yes. We fix wind-damaged panels, leaning posts, broken boards and sagging gates on wood, vinyl and chain link fences across Vancouver. After a winter storm we'll tell you honestly whether a few repairs will last or a replacement is the better buy. Read how to decide between repair and replacement after a storm.
