Mending Fences

It has been a wet year indeed, but eventually, the sun will come out long enough to dry out fences. If you still have an original fence, it probably needs painted or maybe even repaired or replaced.

If repainting, you likely will need to use a solid (v. transparent) stain to obtain a smooth homogeneous result. No application is needed for repainting, but it must be a brown or dark red tone: no white wooden fences and no black, please. If you do wish to replace your fence, you must submit an architectural application and wait for approval before installing. You’ll need to include in your application a photo of what you intend to install along with a plot sketch of where it will go and dimensions, such as height. Be sure to get sign off from your neighbors. If it is a shared fence you are installing, only one owner needs to submit the application, although you’ll be sharing the cost of the fence between properties 50/50.

You’ll find the application on the Resident Portal along with many other useful community life documents.
