Somersett sits on the hills of northwest Reno, with big views, a golf course, open space and plenty of wind. Many lots favor ornamental metal fencing that keeps the view open.

Somersett notes

  • HOA architectural review typically governs fence style, height and color. Start there.
  • City of Reno permit required for all fences.
  • Rocky hillside soil: post holes may need a breaker or rock auger, which adds time and cost.
  • Wildfire: Somersett borders wildland. NFPA Firewise guidance recommends noncombustible materials within five feet of the home, so consider metal where fences meet the house.
  • Wind: open ornamental designs let wind through.

Built for local conditions

  • Wind. Washoe County’s adopted design criteria put Reno, Sparks and the county in a special wind region with a 120 mph design wind speed for homes. The afternoon “Washoe Zephyr” that pours over the Sierra is why so many local repair calls are for leaning posts and flattened panels.
  • Frost. The county lists a 24-inch frost-line depth. Posts set shallower than that can heave in freeze-thaw cycles.
  • Sun and dry air. At roughly 4,400 to 5,500 feet with low humidity, UV and drying are hard on stain, paint and cheap vinyl.
  • Soil. Lots range from decomposed granite and rock (common on hillside lots) to clay that swells when wet. Both affect how posts are dug and set.

Frequently asked questions

Why do so many Somersett homes have metal fences?

Open ornamental fencing preserves views, handles wind well and is often what HOA guidelines favor near open space.

Does rocky soil make a fence more expensive?

It can. Hard digging is one of the most common reasons a Reno fence quote rises.
