The Standard for Quality Fences in Canal Winchester
We build fences the right way, every time. Just quality work from craftsmen who take pride in every post and every satisfied
customer.
Decorative Metal
We build aluminum fences that secure your property with elegant style, zero rust, and minimal maintenance—perfect for pools and front yards.
Vinyl Fencing
No painting, no staining, no hassle—our vinyl fences give you clean, consistent boundaries that look great year after year with minimal upkeep.
Clay-Loam Soil Specialists
Our techniques are adapted for Canal Winchester's 40-60% silt content soils, preventing the shifting and leaning that plague lesser fence installations after seasonal changes.
Historic District Knowledge
We understand the Old Town Overlay District's fence regulations, helping you navigate the Landmarks Commission approval process while preserving the character of your historic property.
Drainage Solutions
Our fence designs accommodate properties near Big Walnut Creek where higher moisture content and seasonal flooding concerns require specialized installation methods.
HOA Navigation Experts
We understand the residential requirements of Jefferson Woods, Canal Highlands, and Lehman Meadows developments, saving you time and preventing costly revisions during the approval process.
Local Craftsmen
As Central Ohio locals, we appreciate Canal Winchester's unique character—from the Historic Downtown district to newer developments—and design fences that complement your specific neighborhood's aesthetic.

Canal Winchester has specific fence regulations that must be followed for permit approval. Here's what you need to know:
Permit Process:
- Applications must be submitted in-person at the Planning and Zoning Department (36 S. High St.)
- Required documentation includes a completed application, current plot map showing proposed fence location, elevation drawing indicating height
- Processing typically takes 5-10 business days, with potential delays during peak seasons (March-June)
Height Restrictions:
- Front yard fences: Maximum 3 feet (36 inches) in height
- Side or rear yard fences: Maximum 6 feet in height in residential districts
- Commercial districts: Maximum 10-12 feet in height
Material Restrictions:
- Front yard and side yards facing streets: Only decorative fences permitted (split rail, ornamental iron, vinyl, or approved decorative wooden fences)
- Chain link fencing: Prohibited within front setbacks or side setbacks abutting streets
- Electric fences: Only permitted on sites of 10+ acres used to confine livestock
Special Considerations:
- Agricultural properties must maintain fences at least 15 feet from any public right-of-way or private street
- Fences in front setbacks cannot obstruct pedestrian or vehicular traffic visibility

Easy to work with, great results
Cody was friendly and easy to work with in deciding what was best for our yard. Colt and his crew were friendly, efficient and did a great job building our fence.
Sam Graziano
Blended right in with our existing fence
Great communication throughout, and they really knew the best way to approach my project. The installers were friendly, efficient, and did beautiful work - they even matched the style and sizing to my existing fencing so it blends in perfectly.
