ROH Sec. 21-4.60 defines fences to include wrought iron, wire, wood, vinyl, and plastic, giving Kapolei residents a broad palette of compliant materials.
The Land Use Ordinance's fence definition recognizes a wide variety of materials for Kapolei properties. Vinyl and wood are common in master-planned residential blocks, while wrought iron and decorative metal are frequent in commercial and mixed-use frontages. Posts and foundations must still meet code, especially given Kapolei's strong trade winds. Kapolei subdivisions often have strict architectural guidelines that favor particular colors, heights, and materials to preserve consistent streetscapes. Barbed wire and electric fencing are generally not permitted in residential zones.
Code enforcement citations where materials fail height or structural rules, and HOA violations for unapproved appearance.
