Fencing & Gates Edmonton

The most popular fencing options in Edmonton are pressure-treated or cedar wood, vinyl, chain link, and ornamental iron. Cedar is a top choice for privacy fences due to its natural rot resistance and attractive appearance. Vinyl is maintenance-free and handles temperature extremes well. Chain link is cost-effective for large areas and pet containment. We help you choose the right material based on your goals, budget, and property style.

In Edmonton, fences in the rear and side yards can be up to 1.85 meters (approximately 6 feet) in height without a development permit. Front yard fences are limited to 1.2 meters (approximately 4 feet). Fences must be built on or inside your property line. Corner lots have additional sight-line requirements. We review all applicable bylaws before installation to ensure your fence is fully compliant.

Fence installation costs in Edmonton vary by material. Chain link fencing typically costs $25 to $40 per linear foot installed. Pressure-treated wood ranges from $35 to $55 per linear foot. Cedar privacy fencing runs $45 to $70 per linear foot. Vinyl fencing costs $50 to $80 per linear foot. Ornamental iron is $60 to $100+ per linear foot. All quotes include posts, hardware, and professional installation.

Both cedar and vinyl perform well in Edmonton. Cedar is naturally resistant to rot and insects, weathers to an attractive grey over time, and can be stained any color. It requires periodic staining or sealing every 2 to 3 years. Vinyl is virtually maintenance-free, does not warp or rot, and retains its color for decades. However, vinyl can become brittle in extreme cold. Both are excellent choices depending on your maintenance preferences and budget.

A standard residential fence installation (60 to 100 linear feet) typically takes 2 to 3 days. Larger properties or complex installations with gates, slopes, or decorative features may take 3 to 5 days. The timeline begins after utility locates are completed, which we arrange as part of the project. We provide a specific schedule with your quote.

Yes. We provide a workmanship warranty on all fence installations. The duration depends on the material chosen. Most manufacturer warranties cover vinyl fencing for 20 to 30+ years and cedar hardware for 5 to 10 years.
