Fences & Gates in Windsor, ON
Windsor has some of the oldest neighbourhoods in the region, with narrow lots, rear alleys and mature trees, alongside newer subdivisions in the east and south ends. Each brings its own fence layout.
Windsor homeowners call us for privacy fences along alleys and narrow side yards, front-yard ornamental fences on older brick homes, and replacements for chain link that has been in the ground for decades. In older neighbourhoods, much of the job is working around what's already there: garages on the lot line, big tree roots and old concrete.
The city's fence by-law sets different heights for front yards, side and rear yards and fences along alleys, with extra limits at corners. Below you'll find each of our services with information specific to Windsor properties.
By-laws and permits in Windsor
Windsor's fence by-law allows fences up to 2.2 metres in side and rear yards, 1.2 metres in front yards, and up to 2.5 metres along an alley or public walkway, with a 0.9 metre limit inside the sight triangle at corner lots (open chain link or metal pickets can be taller there). Pool enclosures fall under a separate by-law and need a permit. Rules change, so we confirm current requirements for your address during planning, and utility locates are always requested before digging.
Fence Types in Windsor
Windsor's older lots are often narrow, with houses close to the side lot lines and alleys behind them, so fences need careful layout around meters, downspouts and garages. Mature trees mean roots to work around when digging, and heavy clay soil means posts need drainage and frost-resistant footings.
