fencing in cape cod historic districts

Many Cape Cod homes are located within historic districts, including the Old King’s Highway Regional Historic District, where fencing projects often require review and approval prior to installation.

At Reliable Fence Co. of Cape Cod, we understand the added considerations that come with working in historically sensitive areas and have experience installing fencing that aligns with local guidelines.

Historic district requirements may address:

• Fence height and placement
   
• Approved materials and styles
   
• Visibility from public ways
   
• Compatibility with the home and surrounding neighborhood
   

We regularly install cedar picket, post and rail, and other traditional fencing styles that complement Cape Cod’s historic character.

While homeowners are responsible for obtaining necessary approvals and permits, we’re happy to provide drawings, specifications, or project photos to assist with submissions to local historic commissions.

With over 60 years serving Cape Cod and the Islands, we understand how to balance preservation standards with practical, long-lasting fencing solutions.

 If your property falls within the Old King’s Highway District or another historic area, we’re happy to discuss your options and help you prepare for the next steps
