Premium Fencing Materials We Install

Custom cedar fencing on both sides of a walkway leading to the backyard, finished with grey pavers.

Cedar Fencing

This is the most popular choice for British Columbia homes. Since cedar is naturally rich in oils that resist rot and insect damage, it is perfect for our wet weather. Moreover, it offers a natural beauty that can be stained or painted to match your home’s aesthetic.

Black composite fence in West Vancouver.

Composite Fencing

This material provides a durable, low-maintenance alternative for Lower Mainland homes. Because it combines recycled wood and plastic, it effectively resists warping and rot. Consequently, these fences never require staining and remain stable throughout the wet BC seasons.

Black aluminum fence in North Vancouver featuring horizontal slit design details.

Metal Fencing (Aluminum & Steel)

This style is ideal for maximum security and modern Vancouver designs. Because our metal options feature specialized powder coatings, they are completely resistant to rust and corrosion.

White vinyl fence in Port Moody with a large decorative rock feature.

Vinyl Fencing

This material is clean, modern, and practically maintenance-free. Specifically, vinyl is immune to pests and moisture. Therefore, it is an excellent choice for privacy fences that stay looking brand new year after year.

Step 1: Property Evaluation & Design

We assess your yard, discuss your privacy/security needs, and help you select the best material. We also review grade changes and property lines to ensure a seamless build.

Step 2: Post Hole Digging & Setting

The secret to a fence that never leans is the foundation. We dig deep post holes and set heavy-duty posts in concrete, ensuring they are perfectly plumb and level, even on sloped Vancouver properties.

Step 3: Framework & Panel Installation

Once the posts are securely cured, we build the rails and attach your chosen fencing material (cedar pickets, composite boards, vinyl panels, or metal) with precision alignment and heavy-duty, rust-proof fasteners.

Step 4: Cleanup & Final Inspection

We clear away all dirt and debris from the excavation, hang and adjust your gates for smooth operation, and walk through the final project with you to ensure absolute satisfaction.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fencing in Greater Vancouver

For absolutely zero rot and minimal maintenance, Composite and Vinyl are the top performers in wet climates. If you prefer natural wood, Cedar is the most reliable wood option in BC, as it contains natural tannins that resist moisture decay.

In most Lower Mainland municipalities, you do not need a building permit for a fence as long as it adheres to height restrictions. Typically, fences can be up to 4 feet high in the front yard and up to 6 feet (1.8 meters) high in the backyard. We always recommend checking your specific city bylaws, and we build to comply with all local codes.

To prevent a fence from blowing over in strong winter windstorms or shifting due to soil changes, posts in the Lower Mainland should generally be buried at least 2 to 3 feet deep and anchored in concrete.

Absolutely. Many properties in Burnaby and the North Shore have significant elevation changes. We specialize in both “stepped” fencing (where the top of the fence looks like stairs) and “racked” fencing (where the fence follows the angle of the ground). During your consultation, we’ll determine which method provides the best look and most security for your specific slope.

Yes! A fence is only as good as its gate. We build and install custom-matched single-swing, double-swing, and sliding gates equipped with heavy-duty hinges and secure latches to ensure they won’t sag over time.
