Zone Zero Regulations Are Coming. Will You Be Ready?
California's defensible space laws put the burden on YOU to protect your property. Failure to comply will result in fines and denial of insurance coverage.
The Problem
Wood fences violate Zone Zero requirements - They're combustible materials within 5 feet of your structure
Fire bridge to your home - Traditional fencing can carry flames directly to your house
Insurance liability - Non-compliant properties may face coverage issues
Legal responsibility - Homeowners are liable for maintaining defensible space
The Devastating Reality
structures destroyed in past 10 years
structures lost in 2025 Eaton & Palisades fires
in economic loss from 2025

Defensible Space Requirements
California law requires property owners to maintain defensible space around structures. Learn how Colorbond fencing provides critical Zone 0 protection.
California Defensible Space Requirements
Zone 0 (0-5 feet)
Immediate Structure Protection
- • Class A, Non-combustible materials only - This is where Colorbond fencing excels

- • Critical fire-resistant hardscape zone
Zone 1 (5-30 feet)
Lean, Clean & Green

Why Colorbond is Perfect for Zone 0
