For a modern, contemporary look, a backyard metal privacy fence with horizontal slats is the premium option. All three materials work well in Massachusetts weather when professionally installed.

Most Massachusetts cities allow privacy fences up to 6 feet tall in backyards without a permit. Front yard fences are typically limited to 4 feet. Some cities allow 8-foot fences with a special permit. We verify the height restrictions for your specific city before installation.

A 6 foot privacy fence costs between $20 and $55 per linear foot installed in Massachusetts, depending on the material chosen. For a standard 150-linear-foot backyard, that works out to $3,000 to $8,250 total. Vinyl and cedar are the most popular choices for 6 foot privacy fencing.

Permit requirements vary by city. In most Massachusetts municipalities, privacy fences 6 feet and under in backyards do not require a permit.

They are rust-proof, maintenance-free, and increasingly popular for contemporary homes in Massachusetts.
