Fence & Deck Repair in Woodside

Leaning fence, rotted post or a soft deck board?

Send 2–3 photos — the local contractor for Woodside will tell you what it likely needs and a ballpark, usually within a few hours, often no visit needed.

In Woodside, new fences, walls, gates, pylons and berms generally require a town permit; limited repairs do not, and an existing fence can be replaced in place under the code's like-material rule. The question is less how tall than how far from the road: an open fence less than 4 feet tall can sit 10 feet from the driving surface of a public road, while a solid fence between 4 and 6 feet tall has to sit 50 feet back, or 30 feet in the R-1 zone.

Fence rules in Woodside

  • Vehicular gates: no more than 6 feet high and 25 feet from the driving surface with the gates open; the code requires open gates.
  • Fences are not allowed in trail easements.
  • An existing fence can be replaced in place with a like material, no taller and no closer to adjacent property lines.

Full rules: fence rules in Woodside. A gate in that fence line that sags, drags or misses its latch is a repair of its own: see gate repair.
