Fence Installation & Repair services in Barrington
Barrington is nearly surrounded by salt water. The Barrington River, the Warren River and Narragansett Bay wrap three sides of town, and coves and marshes reach well inland. For a fence that means two things. First, materials: salt air eats plain steel, so we use aluminum, vinyl, cedar and stainless or hot-dip galvanized fasteners near the shore. Second, rules: lots in Rumstick, Nayatt and along the rivers can sit in a flood zone or beside a coastal feature, where the state's Coastal Resources Management Council may have a say on top of the town. Elsewhere, in Hampden Meadows and West Barrington, the work is quieter: wood and vinyl privacy fences, picket fences along the street and pool barriers. Water tables are high in the low parts of town, so footings there need good drainage.

Permits and local rules
Barrington's zoning ordinance sets fence heights, and we could not confirm them from the town's text. Ask the Building Official about your address, and mention if the lot touches the shore, a marsh or a flood zone, since coastal review may apply.
