Grand Prairie's residential fencing regulations specify approved and prohibited materials. Approved materials are wood, masonry, chain link, wood slats, and wrought iron. Prohibited materials include R-panel, metal sheeting, and plywood — these are considered unsuitable for residential fencing. For swimming pool barriers specifically, chain link and slat fences are not permitted; pool fences must be at least 48 inches tall with gaps less than 4 inches and self-closing, self-latching gates. The Unified Development Code may require specific materials for screening fences in commercial or mixed-use areas.
Code compliance citation for prohibited materials. Required to replace non-conforming fencing. Fine per Section 1-8.
