The ones I have seen are no more than 3-4 ft high, white picket, appear to be vinyl. They can't extend beyond the side perimeter of the house and must adjoin the house (i.e. can't be seen from the front). I'm certain you would need to submit your design to the architectural review folks for approval.

So, it can be done.... I don't know all the limitations on size, materials, etc.
Wowzer! I'm truly amazed. The covenants allow a small fence attached to a house? I've never heard that before. I'm heading out to a building supply store right now.

I think I hear a lot of people getting out their hammer and nails all over The Villages.
