Novato yards get a vinyl or aluminum fence racked to fit Marin County’s hillier lots, sized to the city’s own height allowance for side and rear yards.
Every vinyl fence we build carries a transferable lifetime warranty, custom fabricated by a crew licensed in California since 2018.


Along the Highway 101 corridor and into Novato’s hillier pockets, we install vinyl and aluminum fences racked to the grade.
A sloped lot near the hills needs different post spacing than a flat parcel closer to Rush Creek, and we’ll walk the yard with you to sort out which. Browse the styles below, then send a note for a free estimate answered same day.
Novato’s terrain runs from flat stretches near Rush Creek to hillier ground further from the 101 corridor, and vinyl racks cleanly to either grade so the fence line follows the slope rather than stair-stepping down it. It’s PVC through and through, with color running through the material instead of sitting on the surface, so a scrape never flashes white and it won’t yellow under the sun.
Full privacy panels close tight tongue-and-groove, picket styles keep an open look, and an open-top lattice design lets air and light through while still marking the line. More than ten colors and ten styles are on the line, with a rinse twice a year covering the upkeep.
Around the newer construction closer to the 101 corridor, aluminum’s clean lines fit the more modern housing stock. Privacy panels close the slats fully, semi-privacy spreads them for airflow, and picket styles keep sightlines open.
Finishes run powder-coated black, white, or a wood-grain tone, rated ASTM E84 Class A for flame and smoke. The metal carries a 20-year warranty, the coating 10 years, plus our own 5-year workmanship on the install.
Novato allows a taller fence than most neighboring cities if the top 2 ft stay at least half open, lattice or chain-link, over a 6 ft solid base, which is exactly the kind of run our open-top lattice style is built for.
Every style ships with a matching gate, from a single walk gate to a wide driveway span framed to carry its own weight. Toppers set on an existing block or concrete wall add height and screening without tearing the wall down. Heights run custom from 2 to 8 ft and rack to whichever grade the lot sits on.
A few things move the number: total footage, the height and style chosen, how many gates, whether the run climbs a slope, and whether an existing fence has to be cleared before the new one goes in.
A hillside stretch usually takes more post work and grading than a flat run near Rush Creek, and going above 6 ft anywhere in the city adds a permit step to the timeline. Seeing the actual yard is what turns those factors into a firm number, and the visit stays free, on-site, and answered same day.

Lattice-topped privacy runs, open picket fronts, matching gates: the vinyl and aluminum styles we build go up right across Novato, in every part of the city.
Novato gives you two kinds of yard: flat parcels along the corridor and lots that climb. A tone that settles quietly into planting on one can stand out sharply on the other. Your material sets the width of the choice.
Grouped by surface: a flat solid, a smooth wood grain, a textured blend. The grains, Dark Walnut at the deep end, do timber without a stain schedule. Whatever you land on, the color is through the panel and not over it.
Pro Vinyl and Aluminum Fencing partners with Catalyst, one of the leading vinyl fence manufacturers in the United States. Their US-made vinyl, our custom fabrication and installation, backed by a transferable limited lifetime material warranty.
The flat and slat panels come white, in a grain look, or black; contoured slats hold matte black. Four finishes total. Charged powder goes on dry, then heat cements it to the aluminum, so it does not lift in open sun.
Pro Vinyl and Aluminum Fencing is a trained and authorized SLEEKFENCE™ contractor. SLEEKFENCE™ is a premium-class aluminum fencing brand registered in the USA – their engineered material, our custom fabrication and welded install, with a 20-year material warranty behind it.
The table is a span per style and nothing more. On level ground the question is mostly what the run has to do. Where the land falls away, panels rack with it and the height is taken post by post. The local cap sits over both cases.

Novato is an incorporated city in southern Marin County, about 40 miles north of San Francisco, with a population near 51,706. The Highway 101 corridor runs the length of the city and connects it to San Rafael to the north and Petaluma to the west, with Fairfield and Vallejo further to the east.
Rush Creek, Deer Island Park, and the Bel Marin Keys waterway community give Novato a mix of open parkland and low-lying, water-adjacent ground, while other pockets of the city sit on hillier terrain set back from the 101 corridor. [NEEDS-DATA: specific named neighborhoods beyond these landmarks were not confirmed in sourced material.]
A sloped lot away from the corridor needs posts set and a fence line racked to follow the grade rather than left to step down it in blocks, while flatter ground near Rush Creek or Bel Marin Keys is a more straightforward run. Current sources don’t flag Novato for salt air, extreme wind, or fire-hazard exposure, so material choice here comes down to slope, privacy, and finish rather than climate.
Front yards top out at 3 ft within 15 ft of the back of the sidewalk or curb. Side and rear yards may reach 8 ft total, but only if the top 2 ft stay at least half open, such as lattice or chain-link, over a 6 ft solid base; a fully solid run caps at 6 ft. A building permit applies above 6 ft regardless of the open-top allowance. Confirm current specifics with the City of Novato Planning Division before you build.
A Novato install, whether it’s a hillside lot or a flatter parcel near Rush Creek, runs through four set stages, with slope and any open-top lattice option settled ahead of time so nothing gets decided once the crew is on site.
No surprises on grading, material, or the permit step; the written plan gets your approval up front.
We start on site: measuring the grade, checking where posts can go, and sending a firm number once we’ve seen it.
Scope, materials, height, and timeline get written into a contract before a single post goes in the ground.
Posts and panels go in, racked to the grade, gates get hung true, and the old fence is hauled away.
We register the paperwork on vinyl’s lifetime warranty or aluminum’s 20-year terms, plus our 5-year workmanship.

Practical reads for Novato homeowners on hillside grading, lattice toppers, and prepping for install day.
Adding a picket topper brings real height and quiet to a block wall already in place, no demolition needed.

Your Novato Fencing Questions, Answered Here
Homeowners calling about a Novato fence usually ask one of a few things: how tall a backyard run can go, whether an open lattice top counts differently, and how a hillside lot changes the overall plan. Here are straight answers to what comes up most often.
Got Another Question?

Yes, above 6 ft. Novato requires a building permit for any fence over 6 ft, including a solid-to-8-ft run with an open lattice top.
Confirm the current requirement for your parcel with the City of Novato Planning Division before starting work.
Up to 8 ft total, but only if the top 2 ft stay at least half open, lattice or chain-link, sitting on a 6 ft solid base. A fully solid fence without that open section caps at 6 ft on side and rear yards.
Novato’s code allows the extra 2 ft above a 6 ft solid base only if that section is at least half open, which a lattice-style vinyl topper is built to satisfy.
It’s the most direct route to 8 ft total height on a side or rear yard.
They take more planning, not more risk. Posts get set and panels racked to follow the slope so the fence line reads level even as the grade rises, rather than stepping down the hill in visible blocks.
Water-adjacent communities like Bel Marin Keys often carry their own design guidelines layered on top of the municipal code, covering height, color, or material choice.
Our product lines offer enough finish options to satisfy most of those additional guidelines.
