• Arbors and trellises: garden entries, gate arbors and pergola-style deck covers.

We work across Oregon City, including McLoughlin, Park Place, Canemah, Hillendale and Hazel Grove-Westling Farm.

Oregon City fence & deck rules at a glance

From the City of Oregon City’s fence and deck guides:

• Fences 7 feet or shorter don’t need a building permit.
• Fences are limited to 3.5 feet in front of the house and 6 feet beside or behind it near the street.
• Chain-link fences are not allowed.
• Projects in historic districts and the Natural Resource Overlay need planning review, and sight-obstruction rules apply near corners and driveways.
• Decks need a permit if they’re more than 30 inches above ground, or covered by a roof of 200 square feet or more.

Rules change, and lot-specific conditions apply. We confirm the current requirements for your property before we build, and handle the permit when one is needed. Sources: Oregon City: Build a Fence · Oregon City: Constructing a Deck or Patio (PDF) · Oregon City: Neighborhood Associations.
