Parts of Kent sit in the Cuyahoga River valley, where the grade changes noticeably. A wood fence there has to follow the ground, so we stick-build every section on site and can rack, step, or contour it to the slope.
Narrower, established lots near downtown and the Kent State campus often come with mature trees, while the larger backyards toward Brimfield, Franklin Township, and Stow are more open. Pressure-treated pine or Western red cedar on wood or metal posts suits either, in styles from board-on-board privacy to picket and rail.
Our wood line runs from board-on-board, shadowbox, and horizontal privacy to dog-ear picket and cap-and-trim, with 3-rail, 4-rail, crossbuck, round rail, and split rail for open sight lines up to 5 feet. How tall a privacy or picket style can go depends on your city’s limit. In Kent, board-on-board, shadowbox, and horizontal styles at 6 feet fit along side and rear lines, while dog-ear picket and other styles at 4 feet or lower suit the front of the home.

Kent allows fences up to 4 feet tall in front of the primary structure. Along side and rear property lines the limit is 6 feet. The only exception is industrial districts, where the Community Development Director can approve up to 8 feet. Solid fences must be installed with the finished side, meaning the side without visible supports or brackets, facing the neighboring property or the road right-of-way.
Based on Kent’s fence code (Codified Ordinances 1106.12). Rules change, so confirm current requirements with the city before you build.
