Best Fence Installation in West Hollywood
Modern aluminum fence, see-through front fences and gates for West Hollywood homes and buildings, planned around West Hollywood’s fence rules. Installed through our licensed installation partners.
Fencing for West Hollywood Homes
West Hollywood is a small, dense city between Beverly Hills and Hollywood, with single-family streets, duplexes, apartment buildings and busy commercial corridors side by side. Lots are compact, and the fence is often the first thing people see.
West Hollywood’s fence code rewards good design. A solid front fence has to stay low, but a more see-through fence can go taller. That is a natural fit for aluminum, whether vertical pickets or spaced modern slats: you get height and security at the street without a blank wall.
Homes that back onto commercial properties can, with approval, have a taller solid wall. You can compare every slat profile and finish in our Panorama City showroom before you decide.
How Fence Rules Work in West Hollywood
West Hollywood sets its own fence and wall rules in its zoning code. The general pattern rewards good design:
- Front and street-side setbacks: solid fences are kept low, while more see-through fences can go taller.
- Interior side and rear yards allow privacy fences.
- Next to commercial uses, a taller solid wall may be allowed with city approval.
- Chain link is generally limited to temporary use.
Ask West Hollywood Planning for the exact heights and openness required for your lot before ordering.

What Shapes a Fence in West Hollywood
The 50 percent rule
To go taller in front, the fence has to be more open. Aluminum pickets or slats with generous spacing do that comfortably and still look modern.
Compact lots
On small lots, a slim aluminum fence takes up less space than a block wall and leaves more room for planting.
Backing onto commercial streets
Homes near Sunset, Santa Monica Boulevard and other corridors can ask for a taller solid wall along the commercial side. A closed aluminum privacy fence along the side and rear is another option.
Multifamily and courtyards
Apartment and courtyard buildings need secure pedestrian gates and clean fencing for shared spaces. Matching gates keep it consistent.
Hillside streets north of Sunset
Streets climbing toward the hills have steeper lots. Aluminum panels step down a slope and keep their lines level.
Modern architecture
West Hollywood’s contemporary homes pair naturally with horizontal aluminum slats in black or a wood-look finish.
Privacy for ground-floor living
On busy streets, ground-floor windows and patios need screening. A see-through front fence keeps the street presence light, while a closed aluminum privacy fence along the side and rear gives the private outdoor space many West Hollywood homes lack.
Neighbors and shared lines
On compact lots, side and rear fences are almost always shared. Aluminum panels look finished from both faces, which makes the conversation with neighbors simpler, and individual panels can be replaced without rebuilding the run.
Low maintenance in the city
Powder-coated aluminum does not rot, rust or need painting, so it keeps looking sharp with nothing more than an occasional rinse.
Courtyard living
Many West Hollywood homes and buildings center on a courtyard or patio as their main outdoor space. Decorative aluminum panels can screen those spaces from neighbors and the street while letting light and air through, and they never need repainting.
Security without a blank wall
On busy streets, owners want a secure gate and fence without turning the frontage into a wall. An open aluminum fence with a self-closing pedestrian gate does both.
