Questions

Gates and fences FAQ

How much does a wrought iron fence cost in Ottawa?

One Ottawa company lists a 5 ft iron fence at $75 a foot installed. Custom ornamental iron starts near $148 a foot before install at one Toronto shop.

How high can my fence be?

The City of Ottawa's guide gives 1 m in a front yard and 2.1 m in a back or side yard. Check the by-law for your lot.

What does a pool fence need?

At least 1.5 m high, no gap a 100 mm ball fits through, and self-closing, self-latching gates with the latch at least 1.35 m up. It needs a permit.

What does an automatic driveway gate cost?

One Toronto maker puts automated driveway gates at $5,000 to $15,000 and up, depending on size and opener.

Powder coat or paint?

Powder coat is usually tougher than regular paint, says one Ottawa ironworks.

Good to know

  • Book early. One Ottawa fence company is 5 to 8 weeks out by late June.
  • Supply-only prices don't include posts set in concrete. Ask.
  • Pool enclosures need a City of Ottawa permit, even if you already have a fence.
