Cudahy caps street facing fences at 3.5 ft, or 4 ft for wrought iron on 8 ft pilasters, so your front yard design has to fit a tight line.
Behind that line, our crews build to 8 ft for real backyard privacy, framed and racked to fit tight, close set Cudahy lots.


Cudahy’s close set lots along Atlantic Boulevard and Tweedy Boulevard need a fence plan built to the inch, not a stock size.
Street facing caps top out under six feet here, while interior rear yards allow real 8 ft privacy. Gate count, footage and material all shift the number. Look over what we offer below, then reach out for a free walkthrough.
Cudahy is one of the more tightly built cities in this part of the county, with homes set close along Atlantic Boulevard, Tweedy Boulevard and the smaller residential streets between Stafford Street and Cudahy Street.
On a narrow lot, every inch of fence line counts, and gate placement matters as much as the panel style itself. We measure to the property line and frame gates to clear walkways without eating into usable yard space, whether the run sits on flat ground or a slight grade.
Homeowners near Cudahy Park and Firestone Park tend to pair a low, open front yard style, picket or semi-privacy, with a full 8 ft privacy run in back where the code allows it. We also build wrought iron style aluminum for corner lots that need to stay open near the sight triangle, pool code enclosures, and gates matched to single walk paths or wider driveway openings.
Your estimate moves with total footage, how many gates the layout needs, whether tearing out what’s already there adds to the job, and which height band you’re building to, the 3.5 to 4 ft street facing limit or the 8 ft allowed on interior side and rear lines. A ballpark over the phone is a starting point; a walk of the property gets you the real number.
Cudahy caps street facing fences, front yard and any side or rear yard that abuts a street, at 42 inches for a decorative fence or masonry wall, or 48 inches for wrought iron style fencing with pilasters spaced at least 8 ft apart. Interior side and rear yards can go to 96 inches, 8 ft, and corner lots carry a 36 inch cap inside the required sight triangle.
Anything above 6 ft needs a permit under Municipal Code §20.16.120. We design to these limits from the first sketch, and always recommend verifying current rules with the City of Cudahy Planning and Zoning Division before finalizing plans.

Vinyl’s color runs through the material, not painted on, so it does not chalk or flash white on a scrape, and a twice a year rinse is the only upkeep it ever needs.
Aluminum comes in powder coated black, white and wood grain finishes, rated ASTM E84 Class A, with a 20 year material and 10 year coating warranty. Both carry our own 5 year workmanship warranty, and every gate we build, walk or driveway, is framed to stay true on a tight lot.
Both sides of a fence get looked at when houses sit this close together. Pick a tone that holds up from your patio and from the sidewalk. Material splits the decision before that, and the two ranges are nowhere near equal.
One property can run a plain solid along the back and something warmer where it shows. The range groups three ways: smooth wood grains, textured blends and plain solids. A body in one tone with a contrasting frame is ordinary work.
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.
Stand near the metal and there is no brush mark to find. The powder goes on charged and dry, then heat sets it into the aluminum. Four profiles share three finishes: black, a grain tone and white. The contoured slat gets matte black alone.
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.
Purpose first. Screening a patio and marking a boundary are not the same job and do not want the same number. Style narrows it again, since an open picket and a solid panel top out in different places. The local cap closes it.

Tight lots call for tight, careful work, and these photos show it: low street facing runs, full height privacy behind them, gates framed to fit narrow gaps between houses. The set grows as projects in and around Cudahy wrap up and get logged here.
Incorporated in 1960, Cudahy is one of the newer cities in this part of Los Angeles County, sitting about 8 miles southeast of downtown LA and bordered by Bell, Bell Gardens, Downey, Commerce, Paramount and Lakewood.
With a population near 22,804 packed into a small footprint, homes sit close together along Atlantic Boulevard and Tweedy Boulevard, with Stafford Street and Cudahy Street carrying much of the residential traffic near Cudahy Park, Firestone Park and the Rio Hondo River area.
Close lot spacing is the defining fact of building a fence in Cudahy. Where a suburban yard might carry 150 ft of fence line with room to spare, a Cudahy lot often needs the same privacy and the same gate count worked into a fraction of the space.
That makes accurate measuring and tight framing, especially around gates, more important here than the material choice itself. [NEEDS-DATA: no wind, soil or fire-zone conditions found in the facts pack for Cudahy]
Municipal Code §20.16.120 sets a strict line at the street: 42 inches for a decorative fence or masonry wall facing a front or street side yard, or 48 inches for wrought iron style fencing with pilasters at least 8 ft apart. Step back from the street and interior side and rear yards can run to 96 inches, a full 8 ft.
Corner lots carry a 36 inch cap inside the required sight triangle, and anything over 6 ft needs a permit. Where a homeowners association covers the property, its governing CC&Rs may impose tighter limits than the municipal code allows. Before locking in a design, confirm current thresholds directly with the City of Cudahy Planning and Zoning Division.
On a tight Cudahy lot the plan matters as much as the panels: an accurate measurement, a written scope that accounts for every gate, a careful install, and warranty coverage locked in once the last post is set in the ground.
Call or send the form, and we’ll come out to measure the lot in person, free of charge and with no obligation.
Someone comes to the property, measures the lot, and works out gate placement before you ever see a number.
The signed scope locks in material, height band, gate count and timeline so nothing shifts once work starts.
Framing gets tight around gates and property lines, panels go in level, and the old fence leaves with the truck.
What you keep: lifetime coverage on vinyl, 20 and 10 year terms on aluminum, plus our own 5 year workmanship.
