height of a backyard fence?


One great feature of my backyard has been that the back border is flat onto the back wall of a warehouse, which is windowless and covered in ivy. Unfortunately, the warehouse has closed and is being sold as a development site. I think my neighborless backyard days are numbered… so I am wondering: how high can one build a backyard fence? Am I allowed to go up 10 feet? 20 feet? 40??? 20 and 40 seem implausible, as I’ve never seen fences that high… Ah well. Any guidance appreciated!

Security Gate


Hello all,
The ugly security gate which protects the area under my townhouse stoop has finally rusted to the point where I think I should invest in a new one. Can anyone point me to an ironworker to make it? Also, can anyone recommend a good modern design?

Thanks…
