Fence or deck in Killeen

Killeen's residential fence checklist reads like a menu, and the limits change with the material. Chain link can be 4 feet in a front yard and 6 feet on the side street, side and back. Wrought iron gets 6 feet out front and 8 feet elsewhere. A privacy fence, whether it's wood, brick, stone, PVC or R-panel or U-panel metal, stops at 4 feet in front and 8 feet on the sides and back.

A few details trip people up. Metal panel fences are allowed only if they're coated and capped along the top. Gates have to be at least 3 feet wide. Columns can't rise more than a foot above the fence. Masonry fences and columns over 4 feet need engineered structural drawings. The City also reviews drainage easements and floodplain where they apply.

If the fence is going around a pool, the City's pool rules add their own list. The barrier has to be at least 4 feet tall and no more than 2 inches off the ground. Openings can't let a 4-inch ball through, and chain-link mesh can't be wider than 1¾ inches. You need a 36-inch clear zone outside it so a child can't climb in, and every gate has to close and latch on its own.

Questions homeowners ask

How accurate is a photo estimate?
It’s a ballpark, not a quote. A photo tells us a lot about the material and size, but a local pro who walks the yard will always be more precise. Use our number as the range to expect before you start calling around.
How is a fence priced versus a deck?
Fences are usually priced by the foot and decks by the square foot. We’ll ask one quick question to tell which you’re after, then size it from your photo and your answers.
Which materials can you estimate?
Wood, vinyl, chain-link and metal for fences; pressure-treated wood and composite for decks. Material is the single biggest price swing, so it’s worth picking the one you want.
Is this really free?
Yes. No signup, no credit card, no spam. We only make money if you choose to connect with a local pro — and that’s up to you.
What photo works best?
A wide shot of where the fence or deck will go — or of the old one you’re replacing — works best.
