Questions

Gates and fences FAQ

How long does a custom gate take?

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

Do I need a permit for a fence or gate?

Check with your city or district before you order. Vancouver, North Vancouver and West Vancouver have their own rules.

What should I measure?

Send the total fence length, the height you want and each gate width. Add photos of the yard and the posts or walls the gate will hang on.

Good to know

  • No Vancouver shop we checked posts prices for this. Send a request to compare quotes.
  • Bare steel outside rusts. Ask about powder coating or galvanizing.
