About Prime Fence - Your Gibraltar Fence Experts
Prime Fence serves Gibraltar and the surrounding Downriver communities from our nearby Carleton location, so estimates and installs happen quickly. Many Gibraltar homes sit on canals or the Detroit River, and we plan every layout around the city's waterfront fence rules from the start.
For waterfront lots, that often means a privacy fence near the house with low decorative fencing toward the seawall, so you get privacy and security without blocking your view or your neighbor's. On inland streets, we install full 6 ft privacy fences, pet-friendly yards, and clean front-yard accents.
We install vinyl, wood, aluminum, chain link, and composite fencing built to handle wind and moisture off the water. Every new installation is backed by our transferable lifetime workmanship warranty.

Gibraltar Fence Ordinances & Permits
Understanding local fence regulations is essential for a smooth installation. Here's what you need to know about fencing in Gibraltar.
Fence Ordinance Overview
FFront Yard
Regular fences are not allowed in the front yard. A decorative fence or natural fence (hedge) up to 48 inches tall is allowed, as long as it keeps the corner and driveway sight triangles clear.
SSide Yard
Side-yard fences may be up to 72 inches (6 ft) tall on lots that do not abut water. On waterfront lots, fences up to 72 inches are allowed in the side yard, and decorative fencing up to 48 inches may run to the seawall.
BBackyard
On lots that do not abut water, rear-yard fences may be up to 72 inches (6 ft). On waterfront lots, a 72 inch fence may extend no more than 16 ft from the rear of the house and must stay at least 24 ft back from the high water mark, so neighbors keep their view of the water. Decorative fencing up to 48 inches may extend to the water's edge.
Permit Requirements
Yes. A fence permit from the City of Gibraltar is required, and the application must include a certified property survey (mortgage surveys are not accepted). Building and Safety is at City Hall, 29450 Munro Avenue.
Setback Requirements
The whole fence must sit on your own property unless you and your neighbor apply together for a fence on the shared line. Keep a clear 25 ft sight triangle at street corners and a 10 ft triangle where a driveway meets the road.
Notable Ordinance Provisions
Electric fences and barbed wire, razor wire, or spikes are not allowed on residential fences. Posts and supports go on the inside, so the finished side faces out, and a fence cannot be attached to a neighbor's fence for support.
HOA Considerations
If your subdivision or condo association has stricter fence rules in its covenants or deed restrictions, the stricter rules apply. Pool barriers must also meet the city's pool code.
