The homeowner problem
A wood fence attached to a home can act as a fuse. A five foot noncombustible transition where fencing meets the structure is often a straightforward improvement.
Focus areas
- Combustible fences that connect directly to the home
- Five foot noncombustible transitions
- Metal gates that stay operable during power outages
- Aluminum and steel fencing options
- Fiber cement and masonry options
- Fence line debris and vegetation
- Manual gate access during emergencies
Frequently asked questions
Home hardening focuses on the structure itself. It addresses vents, eaves, rooflines, garages, decks, fencing, exterior openings and the first five feet around the home so wind-driven embers have fewer places to enter or ignite materials next to the building.
