HOA & Multi-Family Fencing Guidelines for Myrtle Beach Communities

In HOA neighborhoods and multi-family housing complexes, fencing plays a key role in both aesthetics and community standards. But navigating the rules can be tricky.

At Stand Strong Fencing, we’ve worked with countless HOAs and property managers in the Myrtle Beach area. Here’s what you need to know before building a fence in a deed-restricted or multi-unit setting.


Why Guidelines Exist

Fencing guidelines preserve:

  • Uniform appearance across properties
  • Property values
  • Safety and security
  • Good neighbor relationships

Most HOAs in Myrtle Beach enforce rules on height, style, color, and placement of fences - especially in visible or shared spaces.


Common HOA Fence Rules in Myrtle Beach

While each association is different, many include:

Rule Type

Typical Restriction

Height

4–6 feet max, depending on location

Style

Picket, privacy, or aluminum only

Color

Must match exterior or community palette

Material

No chain link or untreated wood

Placement

Rear yards only, or setback from sidewalks


Fencing for Multi-Family Properties

In townhomes, duplexes, or apartment complexes, fencing considerations include:

  • Shared boundaries between units
  • Gated entryways
  • Dog parks or play areas
  • Pool enclosures that meet safety codes

Durable, low-maintenance materials like vinyl, aluminum, or composite are preferred for long-term performance.


How Stand Strong Supports HOA Approval

We provide:

  • Detailed site plans and fence renderings
  • Material specs that match approved guidelines
  • Permitting assistance for HOA or city review
  • Consistent installs across entire communities

Before You Build, Check Your CCRs

Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions (CCRs) are binding. Failing to comply can result in fines - or even removal of the fence. When in doubt, ask your HOA for:

  • Fencing guidelines
  • Approved materials and vendors
  • Application or approval timelines
