How height is measured

Clarington measures fence height from the lowest grade beside the fence, and lattice counts. On a yard that slopes, that's the difference between a fence that passes and one that doesn't, so we check grade along the whole line.

Pool enclosures need a permit, plus road occupancy and site alteration permits before the pool goes in.
