Isleton FAQ
Can I use chain link as a front yard fence?
It is not outright prohibited in most residential zones, but discouraged, and design review in the Historic District may require a different material.
Is pressure-treated wood required in Isleton?
Not required, but strongly recommended for posts because of the high water table and Delta humidity. Redwood and cedar also perform well.
