The Front-Yard Rule That Shapes Everything
Under the City-Parish's fence rules, a fence taller than four feet in a front yard or corner side yard must be less than 30 percent solid. Fences also have to sit at least 15 feet from the edge of the street and 5 feet behind a sidewalk. An open aluminum or iron fence is the natural way to get height in front and stay within the rule.
Aluminum vs. Iron
Aluminum
Looks like iron, doesn't rust, and needs almost no upkeep. The most common choice for front yards and around pools and patios.
Ornamental Steel
Heavier and stronger than aluminum, good for estate entries and security fronts. Needs paint maintenance in our humidity.
Real Wrought Iron
Found on older homes and restorations. Repairs and matching usually call for a metal fabricator.
Style Choices
Flat Top or Spear Top
Flat rails read modern; spears and finials suit older architecture.
Puppy Pickets
Closer pickets at the bottom keep small dogs in.
Arched Gates
An arched walk gate frames the front walk.
Masonry Columns
Panels between brick columns for a formal look. Note the City-Parish limits on walls with a lot of exposed concrete block.
