Chain Link Fences in Windsor

Chain Link Fences for Windsor homes

Windsor's mix of century homes, post-war bungalows and newer subdivisions means fences that run along alleys, narrow side yards and corner lots. Chain link is everywhere in Windsor's older neighbourhoods, and much of it is 40 or 50 years old: rusted fabric, missing top rail and posts heaved by decades of frost. We replace it with new galvanized or black vinyl-coated fence, often reusing the same line, and add privacy slats for homeowners who want a little screening from the alley.

What's included

Galvanized and black vinyl-coated chain link for yards, dogs, side yards and commercial lots: strong, affordable and quick to install. Depending on your property, the work can include:

• Terminal and line posts
• Top rail and bracing
• Fabric stretched tight
• Heights from 4 to 8 feet
• Privacy options
• Gates
• Site visit.
• Written quote.
• Posts and frame.
• Fabric and gates.

Local conditions 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.

Questions to ask before you hire

Whoever you hire for chain link fences in Windsor, get clear answers to these before signing:

• What gauge are the fabric and the posts?
• Will you install a top rail and bottom tension wire?
• How are the terminal posts set and braced?
• Is black vinyl-coated fabric an option for this run?

By-laws, permits and locates

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.
