Our work here
The green rail fences in these photos are ours, in Fulbrook and elsewhere in Fulshear. A painted rail fence fits the styles and the green stain the Fulbrook guidelines describe, and we build to the post sizes and spacing they set.
What to plan for
- Expect a rail, picket or masonry style. A solid privacy fence needs a variance.
- Stain is set by the committee (the guidelines name 'Fulbrook Green'). We match it rather than guess.
- Optional side fences must be staked by a licensed surveyor and approved before we build. Book the survey early.
Associations and their fence rules
Fulbrook on Fulshear Creek Homeowners Association
What the published rules say, in plain English:
- Each section's supplemental declaration sets where fences go. Depending on the village fencing plan, a fence may be required or not allowed on a front or back lot line.
- Allowed styles: masonry wall, three-rail, one-rail, single rail, picket and wood pylon. Solid wood fences and solid boundary walls need a variance.
- Wood fences are stained 'Fulbrook Green', and the committee decides each fence's color. Posts are 4x4 every 100 feet with 6x6 posts at turns and ends.
- Optional side fences must be staked by a licensed surveyor; the committee then has 10 days to approve before work starts. Pool fences must meet government pool rules.
