Fence & Gate FAQs
How much does it cost to build a fence in Calgary?
The cost of a new fence in Calgary depends on the length and height of the fence, the material you choose, site conditions, access, removal of an existing fence and the number or type of gates required.
Wood is a popular option for residential privacy fencing, while vinyl, composite, ornamental metal and chain link all have different price points, maintenance requirements and advantages.
At Assiniboine Landscapes, we provide custom estimates based on your property, preferred materials and what you want your fence to accomplish.
What is the best type of fence for a Calgary backyard?
The best fence depends on your priorities, including privacy, security, appearance, maintenance and budget.
Wood fencing is a popular choice for homeowners looking for privacy and a traditional appearance. Vinyl and composite fencing can offer lower-maintenance alternatives, while ornamental metal fencing provides an open, decorative look. Chain link is a practical option when security and function are more important than complete privacy.
For Calgary properties, it’s also important to consider how the material will perform through changing temperatures, snow, moisture and seasonal weather conditions.
How high can I build a fence in Calgary?
For many residential properties in Calgary, the maximum fence height is 1.2 metres (4 feet) in the front yard and 2.0 metres (approximately 6 feet 6 inches) in other areas. Gates can generally be up to 2.5 metres high when they meet applicable requirements.
Different rules can apply depending on the property’s location, zoning and whether the fence is located within a corner visibility area.
If you’re planning a taller fence or an unusual design, it’s important to confirm the City of Calgary’s current requirements before construction begins.
Do I need a permit to build a fence in Calgary?
Most standard residential fences in Calgary don’t require a building permit when they comply with the City’s applicable height and location requirements.
A development permit may be required if a proposed fence doesn’t meet the Land Use Bylaw requirements, such as exceeding permitted heights. Additional restrictions can also apply to fences located near street corners where visibility needs to be maintained.
Because requirements can vary by property and fence design, it’s a good idea to confirm whether approvals are required before starting construction.
Can I build a fence on the property line between my house and my neighbour's?
A fence can often be built along a shared property line, but it’s important to confirm exactly where the property line is before construction begins. Existing fences, landscaping or assumptions about where one property ends aren’t always reliable indicators of the legal boundary.
If you’re replacing or building a shared fence, it’s also a good idea to discuss the project with your neighbour in advance, particularly if access to their property will be required during construction.
For properties where the boundary isn’t clear, a property survey or Real Property Report can help confirm the correct location before the new fence is installed.
