Most cities, including Redding, restrict fence heights in front of houses and around corner lots. 2. Some people like their own fence, but not their neighbor's fence. They fight about how high they are, what color they are, whose property they are on, and whose responsibility it is to maintain them. Some fences are built solely to irritate neighbors; these are called "spite fences." Without fence regulations, the city would be without the means to settle such disputes. 3. Fences can block or obstruct the view, block light, and restrict air flow. Just as the construction of a multistory building can disrupt the surrounding environment, so can an improperly placed high fence. 4. Fences can change the feel of a neighborhood. An obvious example of this would be a 6-foot high, electric, chain link fence topped with barbed wire in a residential area. Also, fences higher than 6 feet tend to create an urban-fortress feeling instead of a warm, neighborhood feeling. 5. The same fence that diminishes wind in the winter blocks out cool breezes for the homeowner and his neighbor during the summer. In this case, the next-door neighbor becomes a passive victim of the fence. NAFCA slates 2014 Fence Training School The North American Fence Contractors Association (NAFCA) has scheduled its 2014 Fence Training School for Feb. 6-7-8, 2014 in Sebring, Florida.
