At what distance from the fence is it allowed to build

Fence - a fence that gives the owner of a suburban area a sense of security, does not allow strangers to enter the yard and see what is happening on it. The mistake of many summer residents and residents of villages is that they do not observe the permitted distance from the house to the fence, and this is a violation of construction standards. How to comply with these standards when building a fence?

Why do you need a fence on the site

The legislation of the Russian Federation allows the owners of suburban areas to produce enclosing structures of any configuration. You can find transparent and non-transparent, wooden, stone, steel and other fences. Regardless of materials, all fences have common tasks:

• Decorating a land plot if the fence has an aesthetic appearance.
• Disguise the courtyard and the activities taking place on it from prying eyes.
• Prevention of possible encroachments on property by neighbors.
• Protection of the site from dust and noise from the road, from strong winds and from debris.
• Guideline for compliance with the distances specified in building codes and regulations.

Due to the numerous advantages, fences are found in almost all suburban areas in Russia, regardless of the region. Only the appearance, dimensions and the selected material change.

Why you need to comply with the rules

Maintaining the minimum permissible distance from the fence to the buildings is required primarily for fire safety reasons. Imagine the situation - the building is built close to the fence, behind which the neighboring house is also close. In the event of a fire, the fire can easily spread from one house to another: this way, a whole village can be completely burned out along the chain.

The second reason to take a responsible attitude to the observance of the norms of the distance from home to the fence is the risk of litigation with neighbors. For example, they may not like the shadow of your building falling on their lot, or an agricultural structure obstructing their view. There are many reasons to sue for non-compliance with regulated building codes.

Codes of rules have been created regulating the construction of buildings and helping to avoid litigation. There are several of them, this construction:

• within the city limits SP 30-102-99;
• summer cottages SNiP 30-02-97, current version of SP 53.13330.2011;
• Federal Law 123-FZ on fire indents.

You need to know that construction is prohibited on ONT sites, except for greenhouses and small utility blocks. The total area of ​​buildings should not exceed 30% of the area of ​​the garden plot (SNT).

Distance to different buildings

So, there are no more questions regarding the importance of observing the recommended intervals between the fence and various buildings. Now it is important to find out what gaps must be maintained between the fence and residential or utility buildings so as not to violate the laws of the Russian Federation.

The location of buildings on the site, indicating the distance to the fence

Interval to home

According to SNiP 30-02-97 (Building codes and regulations), the distance from the fence to the house must be at least 3 meters, provided that the fence is on the border of the site. It is important to take into account the fact that on a residential object, the reference point is the protruding part closest to the fence, if it protrudes more than 50 cm from the wall. Otherwise, the countdown is from the wall itself.

Often, homeowners ignore or do not know about the rule by which the distance between the fence and the object of individual housing construction (IZHS) is calculated. Judicial practice knows cases when the courts were lost even because of a few centimeters, if the distance was measured from a wall or foundation, and there is a basement protruding half a meter.

Interval to outbuildings

More stringent SNiP requirements apply to the distance between the fence of the site and agricultural buildings intended for keeping pets and poultry. The minimum distance is 4 meters. These norms are dictated not only by SNiP, but also by the sanitary and epidemiological rules and regulations (SanPiN). This is caused by the following factors:

• The risk of contamination and contamination of neighboring soil by animal and bird waste.
• Often unaesthetic appearance of agricultural buildings.
• An unpleasant smell, which is often heard from farm buildings with animals.

The distance of 4 meters between the outbuildings and the fence must be maintained regardless of the site. You will have to comply with the norms, even if the house was built in a gardening partnership.

Distance to toilet

There is a separate regulation in the event that it is planned to build a latrine or cesspool on the site. When choosing a place for arranging such objects, you need to retreat at least 12 meters from residential buildings that are located both on the construction site and on adjacent adjacent sites. In this case, the minimum distance to the fence is 1 meter.

When installing cesspools, septic tanks and outdoor toilets, it is also important to maintain a distance of at least 8 meters in relation to groundwater sources. This applies to wells and wells. Failure to comply with these standards is highly likely to lead to water contamination. For similar reasons, there should be a minimum of 12 m between yard toilets and cellars.

Interval to other buildings

In addition to agricultural buildings on a suburban area, there may be buildings such as a bath, sauna, garage or other functional buildings. SP 53.13330.2011, prescribes to maintain the distance between functional buildings and the fence at least 1 meter. However, there are some conventions:

• If there is 1 meter between the object and the fence, the roof slope should be directed towards the yard.
• The garage attached to the house should be at a distance of 3 m from the fence.

When choosing a place for the construction of showers, summer kitchens and other functional buildings, it is important to take into account that the distance between them and residential buildings on the site should be 3 meters or more. The same applies to farm buildings for keeping animals and poultry.

A garage attached to the house saves space, but you need to plan everything in advance

When building baths and other fire-hazardous buildings, it is important to take into account some of the nuances. According to the norms, the distance between such buildings to the fence should exceed 3 meters, and to the building on the neighboring site - 8 meters. If the building is made of materials belonging to 1 or 2 class of flammability, the minimum distance to the neighboring house is reduced to 6 m.

Greenhouse interval

The construction of greenhouses is popular with many summer residents, therefore the question of how far from the fence a greenhouse or greenhouse can be installed is very relevant. According to SP 42.13330.2011, a distance of at least 1 meter must be maintained from the fence at the border of neighboring areas to the greenhouse. The minimum distance to residential buildings (own and neighboring) is 3 meters.

Correct location of the greenhouse

Distance to green spaces

Since the land plot can contain not only buildings, but also green spaces, there are regulations for this case. Leaving a gap between the fence of the site and flower beds is not as important as between trees and bushes. Here, too, it is necessary to comply with the rules in order to avoid penalties and claims from neighbors with possible legal proceedings.

Distance to trees

Tall trees growing close to the border of two plots of land are another point of contention between neighbors. So that you do not overtake legal disputes with residents of neighboring houses on this soil, observe the recommended interval of 2 meters between medium-sized trees and the fence, and 4 meters if the trees are tall. The distance is calculated from the center of the trunk.

You need to maintain the distance not only from buildings, but also from trees to the fence

How to understand which trees grow on the site - medium-sized or tall? This is not spelled out in the laws, however, there is an unspoken rule - tall trees more than three meters high. There are no restrictions and additions depending on the tree species - apple, cherry plum, birch, tall pines, as well as wild or exotic trees can grow at a permitted distance.

Distance to bushes

The minimum gap between shrub plantations and the fence at the border of the site is 1 meter. The distance in relation to flower beds and flower beds is not mentioned at all in building rules and regulations. This means that you can plant flowers even close to the fence - it's legal. As in the case of trees, there are no restrictions on the types of shrubs - the main thing is to maintain a distance.

Distance to the red line

The red line is the actual border between the land plots. It is this border that has a lot of legal weight, as it is documented in the official documents of the cadastral registration. Residential buildings and functional buildings on the site must be at least 5 meters from the red line of the street, and at least 3 meters from the red line.

It is very important to keep the distance from home to the red line.

The fence is usually installed along the border of the site along the red line. If there is a wicket or gate in the fence, in this case, they must open into the yard so as not to block the red line. For the same reason, the construction of garages on the same line with the fence, standing close to the red line, is not allowed. Failure to observe the spacing may result in drift.

Railing parameters

Building rules and regulations require owners of individual garden plots to make lattice or mesh fences with a maximum height of 1.5 meters. This applies to fences installed at the borders of neighboring areas. By agreement with other residents of the dacha association, it is possible to build solid fences from the street side.

Do you need to follow the rules

The norms of the joint venture, SNiP and SanPiN are not invented so easily, but to be respected. For neglect of instructions, administrative liability is provided, which is regulated by Art. 9.4 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation. For the first time, the offender will receive a verbal warning. If it does not eliminate it, then a fine will be issued in the amount of 1 to 2 thousand rubles.

More serious sanctions will follow if it is proven that disregard for the norms has harmed nature or neighbors. For the first time, the violator will face a doubled fine, that is, from 2 to 4 thousand rubles. A repeated violation is punishable by an even larger fine up to 5 thousand rubles. Litigation is not uncommon for not observing the distance to the fence.

It is noteworthy that the establishment of the fact of non-compliance with the minimum distance between a house, building or tree and a fence is not a reason to force the offender to solve the problem. Demolition, relocation of a building or removal of green spaces can only be achieved through a court of law. However, the best option is to maintain a distance from the house to the fence and avoid conflicts.
