Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Indiana

Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions

Our CC&R's state that wooden fences are permissible. They also state that approval for a fence must be obtained from the HOA. The HOA is verbally saying only vinyl fences are acceptable although there are existing wooden fences in the subdivision. Do I have the right to install a wooden fence?
