Fence Installation & Repair services in River Rouge
River Rouge is a working river town. The steel plant on Zug Island and the docks along the water sit a few blocks from streets of frame houses with narrow lots and alleys behind them. For a fence, that means three things. You want something that holds up to dust and salt, so coated chain link, vinyl and aluminum are popular. You want a gate on the alley that locks. And you need to know exactly where the line is, because River Rouge requires the whole fence to stand on your own lot and to stay at least 3 feet off the alley right-of-way. Those rules shape the back line of most yards here, so we measure from the alley before anything else. The finished side of the fence also has to face out toward the neighbor or the street.

Permits and local rules
Section 5.18 of the River Rouge zoning ordinance requires a fence permit and limits residential fences to 4 feet in front yards and 6 feet in side and rear yards. The fence must be wholly on your lot with the finished side facing out, and no closer than 3 feet to an alley right-of-way. Barbed wire, razor wire and electric fences are banned outside industrial districts.
