Somerset Fence Installation
Hillside fence specialists for Somerset's panoramic properties. HOA-compliant cedar, hogwire, and hybrid fencing engineered for steep terrain and stunning Cascade views.
Fencing for Somerset's Hillside Properties
Somerset is one of Bellevue's most prestigious hillside communities, perched above I-90 with sweeping views of the Cascades, Lake Washington, and the Seattle skyline. The neighborhood's dramatic topography — with elevation changes of 200+ feet across many properties — creates unique fencing challenges that standard fence contractors aren't equipped to handle.
MyFence.com has installed dozens of fences throughout Somerset's winding streets. We understand the specific engineering required for slope-following installations, the HOA design standards enforced by the Somerset Community Association, and the material choices that hold up to the neighborhood's wind exposure at elevation. Our Fence Genius technology is purpose-built for exactly this kind of precision terrain work.

Somerset-Specific Fencing Considerations
Steep Terrain Engineering
Somerset lots can have grade changes of 30-45 degrees on a single property line. Standard fence panels can't handle this — you end up with triangular gaps at the bottom or panels that don't follow the slope at all. Our Fence Genius system maps the exact terrain profile and manufactures panels that rack or step to match. We use deeper post holes (36-48 inches) with extra concrete on hillside installations, and our steel post-on-pipe upgrade is especially popular here for its ability to resist lateral pressure on slopes.
Wind Exposure at Elevation
Somerset's hilltop position means higher sustained wind speeds than lower Bellevue neighborhoods. Solid privacy fences act as wind sails if not properly engineered. We address this with reinforced post spacing (6-foot centers instead of standard 8-foot), our hybrid aluminum/cedar system for maximum strength-to-weight ratio, and strategic use of hogwire sections that allow airflow while maintaining property boundaries.
I-90 Noise Buffering
Properties along Somerset's southern edge face Interstate 90 traffic noise. While no residential fence eliminates highway sound, our solid cedar privacy fences with board-on-board construction provide measurable noise reduction. Combined with strategic placement and dense landscaping, we help Somerset homeowners reclaim the quiet enjoyment of their outdoor spaces.
HOA Architectural Standards
The Somerset Community Association maintains architectural review standards for all exterior modifications. We prepare comprehensive submission packages with elevation drawings, material specifications, and color samples. Our familiarity with Somerset's approved fence styles — including cedar privacy, hogwire, and the hybrid aluminum/cedar system — ensures your application moves through review efficiently.
