Did the Last East Wind Push Your Gresham Fence Over?

Gresham sits near the mouth of the Columbia River Gorge, where winter east winds push hard on fences. We set posts deeper, space them tighter and build to the city's 6-foot limit.

Gresham's fence rules fit on one page: 6 feet maximum, 4 feet in the front 10 feet of the property, and 3 feet (or open chain link) in the clear vision area at corners and driveways. Residential fences need no city sign-off, and barbed and electric wire are not allowed.

The weather is the harder part. NOAA notes that late-autumn and winter east winds out of the Gorge bring strong winds to the east side of the metro. A 6-foot solid fence acts like a sail. In Gresham we use deeper post holes, tighter post spacing and steel posts where the wind hits hardest.

Gresham Fence FAQ

How tall can my fence be in Gresham?
6 feet at most. In the front 10 feet of the property the limit is 4 feet, and in the clear vision area at corners and driveways it's 3 feet or open chain link. Lattice on top counts toward the height.
Do I need a permit to build a fence in Gresham?
No. The City of Gresham does not require a permit for a residential fence. The fence must stay on your property and out of the public right-of-way.
How do you build a fence that survives the east wind?
Deeper post holes, posts closer together, and steel posts behind wood boards on exposed lots. A gap at the bottom and good drainage keep the posts from rotting, which is what usually fails first.
My lot slopes. Can the fence be taller on the low side?
Gresham measures from the highest ground within 5 feet of the shared property line, then 6 feet up. On a slope we step or rack the fence so it follows the ground and stays within the rule.
My neighbor and I can't agree on the fence. Is there help?
Gresham points neighbors to East County Resolutions, a free mediation service, at 503-618-3247. A licensed surveyor can mark the property line if that's the question.
Is my property in a special overlay?
Some Gresham lots near creeks and floodplains are in natural resource or floodplain overlays, where fences must meet wildlife-friendly standards. We check the city map before we quote.
