District Fence Guidelines
Read the rules pertaining to the area directly behind the District Fence: District Fence and Common Area Rules
District-Owned Common Area Fence
The District maintains fencing adjacent to common areas and open space. Fence staining is performed on a regular basis for the exterior and top of the fence. Homeowners are responsible for staining (and re-staining) the inside portion of District-owned common area fencing, and are responsible for the entire upkeep and re-staining of fence that does not border common area. Homeowners are allowed to re-stain common area fencing on the outside and top if they do not want to wait for the District’s vendor to complete a specific area.
Do Not Attach Items to the Fence
The only exception for attaching things to the District-owned fence is for temporary holiday lighting, which must be attached using temporary means such as wreath hangers. No nails, hooks, screws or other hardware may be attached to the District fence. Homeowners are not permitted to insert gates or otherwise modify the fence.
Fence Stain Color
Approved fence stain color can be obtained at the Sherwin Williams paint store on East Smoky Hill Road by requesting the Inspiration fence stain, or at any paint store by using the Approved Fence Stain paint code. The material sheet for the SuperDeck Solid Body Stain product currently approved by the Residential Improvement Guidelines Committee (RIGC) for fence staining is available here.
Installing a New Fence
The Residential Improvement Guidelines can be found on the Design Review page, along with the application form for a new project. Fence specifications are found in the guidelines document.
Fence Staining Update – June 2025
Inspiration is preparing to begin its annual maintenance of district-owned split rail fences. This year, maintenance will take place on the west side of the community, specifically within Filings 16, 18, and 19. Gardner, who has worked with us most recently on the pavilions at Mountain View Park, will be handling this project.
Work will begin with prep activities like wire brushing, followed by staining. The District is responsible for maintaining the outside and top rail of the fences, while homeowners are responsible for the inside portion. To ensure smooth progress, please make sure nothing is attached to District-maintained fences.
Maintenance will occur in the area outlined in red on the map below.
