Zone 0 Fence Installation
Firewise Fences connects California property owners with Zone 0 compliant fencing; from assessment and material specification through installation, working through our network of local licensed contractors, who hold the contract and perform the work.
What this service covers
- •On-site assessment of the fence line relative to the 5-foot Zone 0 boundary; where the fence sits, what it's attached to, and what's within the 0–5 ft zone.
- •Material specification; we select and specify the material system, height, and configuration for the site. See the material product pages for the systems we specify.
- •Coordination with a local licensed contractor from our network who holds the contract and performs the physical installation.
The Zone 0-critical detail
The fence-to-structure transition, the last few feet where a combustible fence meets a wall, is what the 0–5 ft rules are actually about. That transition is where embers accumulate, where radiant heat concentrates, and where a combustible fence acts as a wick carrying flame directly to the structure.
For the regulation itself; the statewide draft status, the fence-provision rule text, and how adopted local ordinances like San Diego's relate; see our statewide Zone 0 explainer.
