Kailua fence materials are defined under ROH Sec. 21-4.60, which recognizes wrought iron, wire, wood, vinyl, plastic, and masonry with post foundations. Corrosion-resistant materials are strongly recommended given coastal salt exposure.
ROH 21-4.60 provides the Land Use Ordinance definition of 'fence,' covering common materials including wrought iron, chain-link wire, wood, vinyl, plastic composite, and masonry with post foundations. There are no explicit prohibited materials at the ordinance level, though barbed wire and electric fencing are generally disallowed in residential zones. Kailua's windward coastal climate means galvanized or stainless hardware and rot-resistant woods like ipe or redwood tend to outlast standard alternatives. Masonry walls over 30 inches usually trigger building-permit review and structural engineering. HOAs in planned communities may add design-review requirements beyond ROH minimums.
Substandard or prohibited materials may be ordered replaced or removed. HOA violations carry separate private enforcement under recorded covenants.
