Lansdale Fences is the local website of 76 Fence MontCo, an independently owned 76 Fence franchise. We install and repair fences in the North Penn and eastern Montgomery County ZIP codes, where most lots are suburban, neighbors are close and every township has its own fence code.
Those codes differ more than people expect. Lansdale Borough only allows open fences up to 3 ft in front yards. Upper Dublin caps front-yard fences at 4 ft and requires a gate on each street side. Cheltenham doesn’t allow solid fences in the required front yard at all. We check the rules for your address before we quote, so the fence you pick is one your township will approve.
See fence rules by townshipPrivacy on smaller lots
6 ft vinyl, cedar and horizontal board fences give twins and single homes in Lansdale, Glenside and Willow Grove a private backyard without looking like a stockade.
Front-yard friendly
Aluminum and picket styles meet the open, 3–4 ft front-yard limits common in Lansdale, Upper Dublin and Cheltenham, and still look finished.
Pool-code ready
We build pool barriers to Pennsylvania code: at least 4 ft tall, self-closing and self-latching gates, and gaps small enough for the inspector.
Fences we build
Privacy, pool, pet and front-yard fences, plus plenty of replacements. These photos are from 76 Fence installations; ask to see recent MontCo work near you when we come out.

Answers for Lansdale-area homeowners
Are wire or welded-wire fences allowed in Lansdale?
Lansdale Borough bans fencing made exclusively of wire. What that means for dog runs, garden fences, welded wire on wood frames and chain link.
Read the answer →Can I build an 8-foot fence in Lansdale?
Yes, with conditions. Lansdale allows up to 8 ft if everything above 6 ft is see-through, and a solid 8 ft only along railroad property. How to design it.
Read the answer →Can I put a fence in my front yard in Montgomery Township?
Montgomery Township allows only 3-ft decorative fences in most front yards, 4 ft on lots facing a major street. Corner-lot, HOA and sight-triangle rules too.
Read the answer →Can I put my fence on a berm or raised bed in Lansdale?
No. Lansdale Borough requires fences at natural grade, not on berms or artificial mounds. What that means for sloped yards, raised beds and wet shale ground.
Read the answer →Do I need a permit for a fence in Lansdale Borough?
Yes. Lansdale Borough lists fences as permit work. What the application asks for, the rules it is checked against, and the 3 ft vs 4 ft front-yard question.
Read the answer →Do I need a permit for a 3-foot fence in Huntingdon Valley (Lower Moreland)?
Lower Moreland exempts fences not over 3 ft from a building permit. Why we still check zoning, and why a Huntingdon Valley address may be another township.

Read more →Common questions
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes. We come out, measure, mark gates and grade changes, talk through materials and township rules, and send a written quote. There’s no charge and no dispatch fee.
Do I need a permit for a fence in Pennsylvania?
Usually a local one. Pennsylvania’s Uniform Construction Code generally exempts fences 6 ft tall and under from a state building permit, but most townships and boroughs still require a zoning permit and set their own height, setback and front-yard rules. We prepare and submit the application and follow it through approval. See PA fence permits.
Do you call PA One Call before digging?
Yes. Pennsylvania law requires an 811 request at least 3 and no more than 10 business days before excavation, and that includes fence post holes. Utilities mark their public lines, but private lines usually aren’t marked: invisible dog fences, sprinklers, lines to sheds, pools or lamp posts, and septic. Please show us where yours run.
How long does installation take?
Most residential fences take one to three days on site. The bigger variable is the permit: review times differ by township, and we’ll tell you what to expect for yours when we quote.
What warranty do you offer?
Every installation includes the 76 Fence Platinum Protection Plan, a 76-month workmanship warranty. Materials also carry manufacturer warranties, which vary by product. We’ll show you the written warranty for what you choose.
Are you a registered Pennsylvania contractor?
Yes. 76 Fence MontCo is registered with the Pennsylvania Attorney General under the Home Improvement Consumer Protection Act; registration T002924 (temporary). You can look up any contractor at hic.attorneygeneral.gov.
