Each owner of a country house wants his property to be surrounded by a safe fence. This is protection from the wind, prying eyes, as well as intruders. In addition, the presence of a reliable fence simply inspires peace of mind and a sense of security.
And if you plan to build a fence around your possessions, you should take into account a number of nuances that relate not only to the choice of material and the height of the fence, but also should take into account the norms of distance from the fence when building a house. Such rules are dictated by safety and personal comfort of site owners.
The fence on your site
If you are the owner of a country plot on which you want to build a cozy house, then you should know that despite the fact that you own the land, you cannot build a building anywhere in your possessions. About how much to retreat from the fence when building a house, you can tell the SNiP (building codes).
In the fire safety section of the SNiP, it is indicated how many meters from the fence a house can be built, as well as a number of important buildings:
- The distance from the apartment building to the fence should be at least 3 meters. Speech in this case is about the usual one-story building.
- If we talk about the different households. buildings, which include a summer kitchen and a barn, here the permissible minimum is reduced to 1 meter.
- Buildings intended for the maintenance and breeding of poultry and small livestock should be located at a distance of 4 meters from the fence.

However, there are several exceptions to these rules:
- In the event that you are planning to build a house of several floors, it is advisable to contact the BTI with a building plan, since tall buildings can, firstly, spread fire to a larger area, and secondly, cast more shadows, which your neighbors may not like .
- Neighbors are the key link in the construction of your dream home. That is, if you get permission from them, you can build a house almost a meter away from the fence. And if you are in good relations with them, you can count on the favor of fate. If not, prepare for the fact that you may have to thank them for their courtesy financially.
After you receive the permission of the neighbors, the representative of the BTI comes and personally makes sure that you have received this permission. Then you can easily start building.
However, the neighbors can refuse you, and then you will have to act exclusively within the law, that is, 3 meters and not a centimeter less.
- In the event that you are the owner of a small area, and the territory does not allow you to comply with the legal requirements of SNiPs, then you need to go to the BTI and fight for your rights.
- In the end, if your neighbors are peaceful and calm people, you can at your own risk build a house a meter from the fence. Some people do this, but it is better to observe the rules of building a house from the fence and have permission in your hands - who knows, suddenly your relationship with your neighbors will deteriorate with time. In this case, the case can go very far, of course, in legal terms.
