Questions and Answers
What are the height and setback rules for a fence?
Zoning rules are strict: maximum 3 feet in the front yard setback, 6 feet in the rear. The typical setback is 0 feet, placing the fence on the property line. Corner lots have critical 'sight triangle' requirements. Any fence within 30 feet of a street intersection near US-101 must not block driver visibility, often requiring a height of 3 feet or less.
Is my fence designed for high winds?
It must be. The 95 MPH V-ult wind speed rating dictates structural design. This engineering standard controls post spacing, concrete footing mass, and bracket strength. A fence not designed to ASCE 7-22 standards for this wind load will fail during peak storm season gusts, especially in exposed areas near US-101.
How deep do fence footings need to be in Redwood City?
Footings require a minimum depth of 24 inches. California's frost line is 0 inches, so frost heave is not a structural driver. The 24-inch standard, per IRC, provides stability against overturning from the 95 MPH V-ult wind loads typical for the area. Shallow posts in Downtown Redwood City fail from lateral wind pressure, not frost.
Can I have a smart gate with a pool?
Yes, but integration is key. A smart gate's IoT latch must automatically close and latch to meet CA Health and Safety Code 115922 and ASTM F1908-08. The system must self-report status and resist manual defeat. This high smart-gate trend addresses modern liability; a standard gate without these features fails the code for pool enclosures.
How soon can a consultation be scheduled?
Consultations are typically scheduled within 48 hours. Our route from Courthouse Square via US-101 allows for a consistent 25-35 minute response time to most Downtown properties. We confirm the site address, current zoning, and any ARB review status for identified historic properties prior to arrival.
Do I need to notify my neighbor before installing a fence?
Yes. California Civil Code Section 841 is the state's 'good neighbor' law. For any fence on a shared property line, you must provide adjoining owners written notice 30 days prior to construction. This 2026 legal requirement is mandatory in Redwood City and includes sharing detailed plans and cost estimates.
What is required before digging fence post holes?
You must call USA North 811 for a utility locate at least two business days before excavation. Hitting a gas, water, or fiber line in Downtown Redwood City is a major financial and safety liability. We manage the permit office paperwork concurrently, ensuring the project has both locates and a city permit before any equipment arrives.
What fence materials work best here?
Material compatibility is critical. Redwood City has moderate soil corrosivity and termite risk. Use hot-dipped galvanized or powder-coated steel posts and fasteners. Untreated steel will rust, causing streaks. For wood, use pressure-treated lumber rated for ground contact. Incompatible materials near the soil line will degrade prematurely.
