Liberi Fence installs vinyl, wood, aluminum and chain link fences in Voorhees Township, from Echelon and Kirkwood to Ashland and Osage. In Voorhees, every new fence needs a township zoning permit, side and rear yard fences can be up to 6 feet tall, and fences cannot go in front of the house. We know those rules because we work in Voorhees regularly from our shop on Ganttown Road in Turnersville, and we build every quote around them.
Voorhees Township's fence regulations are in Section 150.14 of the township code. These are the points that matter most for a homeowner.
| Rule | What Voorhees requires |
|---|---|
| Permit | Zoning permit and certificate of conformance for every fence, with a plot plan showing the lot, buildings, fence and gates |
| Side and rear yards | Up to 6 ft, enclosing the yard from the front corners of the house back |
| Front yard | No fence in front of the building or in the required front setback, whichever is greater |
| Corner lots | The front setback applies on each street side; fences cannot block drivers' view at intersections |
| Which side faces out | Rails and posts must face the inside of your property, so the finished side faces your neighbor |
| Fences 5 ft or taller along the front property line | Need evergreen plantings at least 3 ft tall, no more than 6 ft apart, within 30 days |
| Reverse-frontage lots | An extra 10 ft rear setback plus a row of evergreens |
| Not allowed | Barbed wire, razor wire or spikes; electric fences; canvas, cloth or collapsible fences |
| Building permit | Also required for fences over 6 ft and for pool enclosures |

Most Voorhees projects are rear-yard privacy fences, pool enclosures and dog runs on suburban lots, which is why vinyl and aluminum lead.
We install fences throughout Voorhees Township, including Echelon, Kirkwood, Ashland and Osage, and in neighboring Cherry Hill, Haddonfield, Gloucester Township, Mount Laurel and the rest of Camden County.
