Gates and fences FAQ

How high can a fence be in Burnaby?

In residential districts, up to 1.07 m in the required front yard and up to 1.8 m behind it, says the Burnaby Zoning Bylaw.

How big can an entrance gate be in Burnaby?

Burnaby allows entrance arbors and gates up to 2.6 m high and 1.8 m wide.

How long does a gate take to make?

Jeff and Simon Ironworks, a Burnaby shop, says a single home gate takes 2 to 3 days in the shop. That is shop time only, so ask about the full timeline.

Does the Burnaby rule apply in New Westminster?

No. Each city sets its own fence rules. Check with New Westminster before you order.

Good to know
