Fences in Peterborough, Ontario
Fence installation in Peterborough.
Peterborough is home base and where most of our fences stand. From the West End to East City and out past Lansdowne, the posts go in below frost and the materials are picked for freeze-thaw.
The mix here runs from post-war bungalows in the West End and brick semis in Ashburnham to new builds past Lansdowne and farm edges toward the Otonabee. Clay soil and deep frost are normal, which is why shallow-set posts heave by the second winter. We auger below frost and put concrete around every structural post.
Privacy fences and pool enclosures are the jobs we get called for most in town. Corner lots near schools and parks get extra care over height and sight lines, and we confirm your exact bylaw before quoting so the fence passes first time.
Peterborough generally allows backyard fences of about 6 feet, with lower limits in front yards and clear sight triangles on corners. Pool enclosures need self-closing, self-latching gates. We verify your lot at the free estimate.

Peterborough fence questions
How much does a fence cost in Peterborough?
Most residential runs land between $65 and $140 per foot installed, depending on material, height, gates and access. Chain link is the cheapest, cedar privacy sits in the middle, and vinyl and ornamental iron cost more up front. We give per-foot pricing in writing on site.
Do I need a permit for a fence in Peterborough?
Most residential fences don’t need a building permit, but height limits, pool enclosure rules and corner-lot sight lines still apply. We check the current fence bylaw for your address before we build.
How deep do the posts need to go?
Below the frost line, which is typically around 4 feet in the Peterborough area, and deeper in exposed or wet ground. It’s the biggest difference between a fence that lasts 20 years and one that leans after two winters.
