Wood 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. Many Windsor backyards back onto a public alley, which means two jobs in one: a privacy fence along the side lot lines and a gated section on the alley side for garage or trash access. Windsor's by-law allows taller fences along an alley than in the front yard, and we build the alley gate with a frame and hardware that can handle daily use.

What's included

Cedar and pressure-treated wood fences, from classic dog-ear privacy to board-on-board and shadowbox, built on posts set to last. Depending on your property, the work can include:

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 wood fences in Windsor, get clear answers to these before signing:

How deep will you set the posts, and how will they drain?
What fasteners will you use for rails and pickets?
Is the lumber cedar or pressure-treated, and what grade?
Who requests the utility locates?

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.
