Fence Types & Materials We Install
Cedar Fencing for the Eastside
At MyFence.com, we provide Bellevue cedar fence products that are engineered to last in the Pacific Northwest's challenging climate. We use premium Western Red Cedar, nature's most naturally rot-resistant wood species with oils that repel insects and resist decay. For Bellevue's luxury properties in neighborhoods like Medina and Clyde Hill, we offer clear-grade cedar (zero knots) that provides superior appearance and 15+ years of longevity with proper maintenance. Our cedar fences are built using heavy-duty lumber that exceeds industry standards, ensuring structural integrity even during windstorms.
Every cedar fence installation includes marine-grade stainless steel fasteners specifically chosen for Bellevue's high-humidity microclimate created by the dual-lake effect. We use triple-sealed joinery systems and premium pressure-treated posts that resist the moisture exposure 15-20% higher than Seattle experiences. Our optional Post-on-Pipe upgrade adds decades to your fence life by eliminating ground contact and wood rot at the post base.
What We Specialize In
MyFence.com specializes in three premium fencing systems: Western Red Cedar fencing, Hogwire fencing, and our custom Hybrid Aluminum/Cedar system. We've focused our expertise on these options to deliver superior installation quality and industry-leading warranties. While many contractors offer numerous fence types, our specialized approach ensures every fence we install meets our exacting standards.
Cedar fencing remains the gold standard for natural beauty and durability. Hogwire fencing combines rustic charm with modern functionality, perfect for properties wanting open views. Our Hybrid Aluminum/Cedar system delivers low-maintenance performance at competitive pricing. Each system uses marine-grade fasteners and premium materials engineered for Bellevue's unique microclimate.
Understanding Other Fence Materials
Note: We provide this information to help you make informed decisions, but MyFence.com does not install vinyl, composite, or standalone aluminum/steel fencing systems.
Composite fencing has become popular in Bellevue's waterfront estates for its low maintenance and 25-year lifespan. Vinyl fencing offers maintenance-free performance but can become brittle in temperature extremes. Ornamental aluminum and steel provide open sight lines for estates and equestrian properties. While these materials have merit, we've chosen to focus exclusively on cedar, hogwire, and hybrid systems where we can deliver superior results.
Hybrid Aluminum — Low Maintenance, Modern Look
For Bellevue properties seeking the perfect balance of low maintenance and affordability, our hybrid aluminum fence system combines the best of both worlds. Instead of traditional all-wood construction, we use black aluminum panels with a cedar frame and pressure-treated fence posts. This innovative system delivers a modern, sleek appearance while dramatically reducing maintenance requirements compared to traditional wood fencing.
The aluminum panels never require staining, painting, or sealing - perfect for busy Bellevue professionals in neighborhoods like Factoria and Eastgate. The cedar framework provides natural warmth and structural support while the pressure-treated posts ensure long-term stability in Bellevue's humid microclimate. This hybrid approach keeps pricing competitive with traditional wood fencing while offering superior longevity and minimal upkeep. Ideal for properties wanting a contemporary look without the premium cost of all-composite systems.

What to Know Before Building a Fence in Bellevue: Permits, Materials, and Local Tips
Why Fence Planning Differs by City
Building a fence in Bellevue isn't just about choosing the right style - it's about understanding the unique blend of factors that make this Eastside city distinct. From stringent HOA requirements in luxury communities to Washington's wet climate and Bellevue's specific municipal codes, every element demands careful consideration. The city's position between two major lakes creates microclimates that affect material longevity, while its mix of historic neighborhoods and modern developments means fence regulations can vary significantly by location. Additionally, Bellevue's steep terrain in areas like Somerset and Factoria requires specialized engineering considerations that flat-land fence installations don't face.
Permits and Property Line Requirements
Before breaking ground on your fence project, understanding Bellevue's permit requirements is essential. According to the City of Bellevue Development Services, you do not need a building permit unless your fence exceeds 8 feet in height, will be located within a critical area or critical area buffer, or is constructed of concrete blocks or similar materials. However, all fences must comply with Land Use Code 20.20.400 regarding height limits, setback requirements, and sight-obstruction restrictions at intersections per BCC 14.60.240 and BCC 14.60.241.
For residential properties, fences in required front-yard setbacks are limited to 4 feet, 6 inches in height, with exceptions for arterial streets, corner lots, or screening purposes when specific criteria are met. Fences outside the front-yard setback may exceed this height. If your property contains critical areas such as wetlands, streams, or steep slopes, or is within the Shoreline Overlay District, additional limitations apply under LUC 20.25E and LUC 20.25H. Property line considerations remain crucial - Washington State law requires building on your side of the property line, so obtaining a professional property survey before installation is recommended.
For more detailed information on Bellevue fence requirements, consult LUC 20.20.400 (Fences) or contact the Bellevue Development Services Land Use team at 425-452-4188.

Do I need to involve my neighbors?

If your fence is on the property line and serves as a partition between properties, your neighbor may be required to pay half the cost. We recommend discussing plans early and providing professional documentation. Learn more about splitting fence costs with neighbors.
When is the best time to install a fence in Bellevue?
Late spring through early fall (May-September) offers the most favorable weather conditions. However, reputable contractors work year-round, and winter installation can sometimes offer better availability and pricing. Just ensure proper concrete curing time in wet conditions.
Note: Building codes and HOA regulations are subject to change. Always verify current requirements with the City of Bellevue Development Services and your homeowners association before beginning any fence project. Professional fence contractors familiar with local regulations can help streamline the permit and approval process.
