Privacy & Security Fencing
A great fence defines your property and provides the privacy you need in growing subdivisions. Our 2026 trending designs include:
- Modern Horizontal Slat Fencing: Creates a sleek, contemporary look that makes smaller yards feel more expansive.
- Black Aluminum Privacy Panels: Rust-resistant and sophisticated, perfect for pool enclosures or modern estates.
- Low-Maintenance Vinyl: Available in woodgrain textures that offer full privacy without the upkeep of natural wood.
Premium Fencing Picks
The Black Aluminum Privacy Fence Panel is a top choice for a high-end, maintenance-free perimeter. If you prefer the look of wood with the durability of vinyl, the Everhome Misty Gray Woodgrain Panel offers an ultra-opaque finish for maximum backyard seclusion.
Navigating Permits in Niagara & Hamilton
Building a deck or fence in Ontario involves strict municipal bylaws. We take the stress out of the process:
- Building Permits: In cities like Niagara Falls and Hamilton, a permit is required for any deck over 108 sq. ft. or higher than 24 inches from the ground. We provide the necessary BCIN-stamped drawings and manage the city inspections for you.
- Fence Heights: Most local bylaws allow for a maximum height of 2 metres (approx. 6.5 ft). We ensure your design complies with local zoning to avoid costly teardowns.
- Call Before You Dig: We coordinate with Ontario One Call to locate all underground gas and utility lines before we set a single post.
