Frequently Asked Questions

How much does fence installation cost in Metro Vancouver?

Fence installation costs vary by material. Chain-link runs $20-$45 per linear foot. Wood fencing costs $30-$65 per linear foot. Cedar fencing costs $40-$80 per linear foot. Vinyl/PVC runs $35-$70 per linear foot. Aluminum and metal fencing costs $45-$90 per linear foot. Privacy fences cost $35-$75 per linear foot. Custom and decorative fencing runs $60-$150 per linear foot.

Do I need a permit to build a fence in Vancouver?

In most cases, standard residential fences do not require a building permit in Metro Vancouver, provided they meet municipal height limits -- typically 1.2 metres in front yards and 1.8 metres in rear and side yards. Corner lots may have additional sightline restrictions. Fences exceeding standard heights may require a variance. Check with your local municipality before construction.

What is the best fence material for Vancouver's climate?

Western Red Cedar is the top wood choice for Metro Vancouver -- naturally rot-resistant and locally sourced. Vinyl/PVC is completely maintenance-free and will not rot or warp. Aluminum is corrosion-proof for ornamental and pool fencing. For any wood fence, proper concrete post footings below the frost line and periodic staining every 2-3 years are essential for longevity in Vancouver's wet climate.

How long does a fence last in Metro Vancouver?

Fence lifespan depends on material and maintenance. Pressure-treated wood lasts 10-15 years. Western Red Cedar lasts 15-25 years. Vinyl/PVC lasts 20-30 years. Aluminum lasts 30+ years. Chain-link (galvanized) lasts 15-25 years. Vancouver's heavy rainfall accelerates wood deterioration compared to drier regions. Concrete post footings and keeping the bottom rail above grade are the most effective ways to extend fence life.
