Allowed distance from building to fence

The construction of a residential building is a very complex and costly process, therefore, all stages must be done qualitatively, in accordance with the standards. For example, an improperly installed fence can cause formal litigation. The main document regulating the construction of any facilities is SNiP. It contains architectural, sanitary and fire protection requirements.

Building codes for fencing planning

When installing a fence that will separate private land from the street or houses of neighbors, you can not be guided only by your own wishes. A fence can only be built in accordance with certain requirements.

The distance from fences and fences is regulated by several documents, the main of which is SNiP 441. It indicates the maximum permitted height of the fence: between neighboring sections - 1.5m; between the street and the territory - 2.2 m. At the same time, with an agreement with local authorities, you can slightly move these values. It all depends on the specific area and specific architectural requirements.

Fire regulations state the safe installation of the fence based on the possibility of open fires. According to these standards, the fence should not be near large trees, and buildings should not be close to each other.

Sanitary standards primarily protect the cleanliness of the environment: soil, air and water, as well as protecting neighbors from stench. This becomes important in the construction of waste pits, animal sheds and dog enclosures.

The distance from home to the fence

The distance from the fence to residential buildings should not be less than three meters. It allows you to protect the house from street noise and the curiosity of neighbors, and also makes it possible to carry out activities for the maintenance of the territory and facade repair.

Despite the fact that neighbors in the site may be satisfied with a closer location, do not violate the rules. After the opinion of the neighbor changes, and he sues, then the offender faces a fine or demolition of the building.

The distance from the courtyards to the fence

When building a shed for storing household items, the minimum distance to the fence is 1 meter. If the barn will be used for livestock and other animals. That distance increases by 3 meters. Greenhouses that use manure are placed at the same distance.

Baths, boiler houses and other buildings with increased fire hazard are placed from the fence at a distance of 5 meters. The garage can be placed a meter from the fence, but provided that all other buildings are 6 meters from the fence.
