East Honolulu fence materials follow the LUO definition embedded in ROH 21-4.60, allowing wrought iron, wood, vinyl, plastic, and wire with post foundations in Hawaii Kai and Kuliouou residential districts.
The Revised Ordinances of Honolulu define a fence in ROH Sec. 21-4.60 as a structure of wrought iron, wire, wood, vinyl, plastic, or similar material supported by post foundations. The code does not publish a separate materials-only section, so East Honolulu homeowners have broad latitude to select finishes suited to Hawaii Kai oceanfront corrosion, Kuliouou hillside drainage, or Aina Haina lot aesthetics. Common Portlock and Hawaii Loa Ridge choices include powder-coated aluminum and treated hardwood. Barbed wire and razor wire are generally disallowed in residential districts, and chain-link requires additional screening in front yards in some special districts. HOA covenants often further restrict material palettes.
Prohibited materials such as residential barbed wire or non-conforming front-yard chain-link can trigger DPP notices of violation requiring material replacement and may carry civil fines.
