Fence Company in Mulvane, KS — Professional Installation, Repair & Staining
Midwest Fence installs, repairs, and stains fences in Mulvane, the city south of Derby whose Main Street follows the Sedgwick–Sumner county line. Here a backyard fence can stand 6 feet tall, a front-yard fence stops at 4 feet with mostly open space, and any fence in the front-yard setback needs a zoning permit.
Midwest Fence is a locally owned fence company serving Mulvane, KS, which sits on the line between Sedgwick and Sumner counties, with fence installation, repair, and staining. Mulvane’s zoning regulations cap fences at 6 feet behind the house and 4 feet in front, where at least three-quarters of a fence has to be open, and a fence in the front-yard setback needs a zoning permit.
Mulvane Fences, From Town Lots to Acreage
Mulvane straddles two counties, but its fence rules come from the city’s own zoning regulations either way. The numbers to know are 6 and 4: 6 feet is the most a fence can stand in a back or side yard, and 4 feet is the limit out front, where at least three-quarters of the fence must be open space. A fence in the front-yard setback also needs a zoning permit, while agricultural fences outside the city limits are exempt.
On larger lots around Mulvane, ranch rail and chain link cover long runs for less per foot than privacy styles. We also handle fence repair and fence and deck staining.

Chain Link Fencing
A long property line or a dog run is where chain link earns its keep, since it costs less per foot than privacy styles. Out front, the 4-foot limit still applies.

What Mulvane’s Zoning Code Says About Fences
From the City of Mulvane’s zoning regulations (Ordinance No. 1432), Sections 3-103F and 6-100B.
6-Foot Limit Behind the House
Section 3-103F caps open and closed fences at 6 feet in side and rear yards. Security design measures can add height above that.
Mostly Open Front Yards
Front-yard fences on single-family and two-family lots, residential-design manufactured homes included, stop at 4 feet, and at least three-quarters of the fence has to be open space.
Permit for Front-Yard Fences
A zoning permit is required for fences in the front-yard setback. Mulvane’s Building & Planning office can confirm what the rest of your project needs.
30-Foot Corner Vision Triangle
On residential corner lots the vision triangle runs 30 feet along each lot line, measured from the center of the corner, and a fence can’t be built in a way that endangers drivers, people, or animals.
Drainage Counts
Mulvane’s code says a fence’s location has to take its effect on proper drainage into account.
Agricultural Land Is Exempt
Fences on land outside the city used for agricultural purposes are exempt from these zoning rules. In town, anything taller or more solid than the limits needs a conditional use approved by the Board of Zoning Appeals.

How a Fence Gets Built in Mulvane
Whether it’s a backyard in town or a fence line on acreage, here is how a Mulvane project runs.
Free Estimate & Layout
At the free estimate we walk the property with you, measure every run, and flag front-yard sections, corner sight lines, and low spots where water drains. The quote comes with no obligation.
Permit Where Needed
A fence in the front-yard setback needs a zoning permit from the City of Mulvane; Building & Planning can tell you about anything else. Neighborhood HOA rules, where they exist, need their own sign-off.
811 & Build
Call 811 at least two working days before any digging; that’s Kansas law. Most town-lot fences take 1–3 days to build, and acreage runs take longer.
Walkthrough & Warranty
We walk the line with you when it’s done. Removing the old fence is free, and every job carries a 1-year warranty on workmanship and materials.
