Under ROH Sec. 21-4.60, common fence materials in Ewa Gentry such as wrought iron, wire, wood, vinyl, and plastic are allowed when combined with compliant posts and foundations.
The Land Use Ordinance's fence definition in 21-4.60 recognizes a wide range of traditional materials for residential fences in Ewa Gentry, including wood, vinyl, wire, chain-link, wrought iron, and plastic panels. The ordinance focuses more on post foundations, height, and location than on the specific material. Gentry Homes design guidelines, however, typically narrow the palette to painted wood or approved vinyl styles to preserve neighborhood appearance. Barbed wire and razor wire are generally not permitted in residential areas. Owners should verify both the city rule and the applicable community design standard.
Citations where materials violate height or structural rules, and HOA violations for unapproved appearance.
