Best Fence Installation in Manhattan Beach
Aluminum fence, gates and privacy fence for Manhattan Beach homes, from the Sand Section walk streets to the Hill Section. Supplied from our showroom and installed through our licensed installation partners.
Fencing for Manhattan Beach Homes
Manhattan Beach is a coastal city in the South Bay, built on former sand dunes. The Sand Section near the ocean has its famous walk streets, the Hill Section has steep lots with ocean views, and the Tree Section is a quieter residential neighborhood further inland.
Lots are often compact and close together, and many homes are modern rebuilds. Owners usually want privacy from close neighbors, a clean front fence that suits a walk street or a busy block, and a finish that holds up near the ocean.
Manhattan Beach sets its own fence rules, and fences on public walk-street property follow the city’s encroachment rules. We supply aluminum fence, gates and posts from our showroom in Panorama City, and we install through our licensed installation partners.
How Fence Rules Work in Manhattan Beach
Manhattan Beach sets its own fence and wall rules in its municipal code, and the city publishes a Fences and Walls handout for homeowners.
- Walk streets: fences on public property along a walk street fall under the city’s encroachment rules and are reviewed by the city, with non-standard requests going to City Council.
- Neighbor agreements: the city has a Fence Height Agreement form for neighbors and the city.
- Private property: heights depend on where the fence sits on the lot.
Get the city’s Fences and Walls handout from Community Development and confirm the limits for your lot before ordering.
Source: City of Manhattan Beach, permits, forms and handouts. Rules change and individual lots can have special conditions, so confirm with the city before you order. We are glad to help you plan around them.
What Shapes a Fence in Manhattan Beach
Walk streets
On a walk street, the front of the home faces a pedestrian path rather than a road. A low, open aluminum fence with a matching walk gate keeps the street friendly while defining the patio.
Compact lots
Close neighbors make side-yard privacy a priority. A fully closed aluminum fence gives complete screening in very little space and looks finished from both sides.
Hill Section views
On view lots, an open style facing the ocean and a privacy style along the neighbors keeps both.
Coastal air
Salt air is hard on painted steel and raw wood. An occasional fresh-water rinse keeps a powder-coated aluminum fence looking its best.
Modern rebuilds
Many Manhattan Beach homes are contemporary. Horizontal aluminum slats in black or wood-look finishes suit them well.
Pools, patios and side yards
Aluminum pool fencing and decorative screens suit compact backyards and patios.
Neighbors and shared lines
On Manhattan Beach’s close-set lots, side and rear fences are almost always shared. Talking with neighbors early about height and style helps, and the city’s Fence Height Agreement form exists for exactly that situation. Aluminum panels look finished from both faces, so nobody gets the back of the fence.
Replacing tired wood fencing
Ocean air and sun gray and warp wood fences quickly. Aluminum replaces them with a straight, clean line that keeps its finish with no staining or painting, and individual panels can be swapped without rebuilding the run.
