Privacy Fences in Windsor

Privacy Fences for Windsor homes

Windsor's mix of century homes, post-war bungalows and newer subdivisions means fences that run along alleys, narrow side yards and corner lots. Windsor lots are often narrow, with houses close together and rear alleys behind them, so a privacy fence makes a big difference. The city allows taller fences in side and rear yards, and taller still where a yard backs onto an alley or public walkway, while front yards and corner sightlines are kept low. We plan each section's height around those rules.

What's included

Full-height privacy fences in wood, vinyl and composite, built to block the view, cut the noise and stand up to wind. Depending on your property, the work can include:

• Height planning
• Material choice
• Privacy level
• Wind-ready posts
• Grade handling
• Gates and access
• Site visit.
• Written quote.
• Posts and frame.
• Infill and gates.

Local conditions in Windsor

Privacy is the top request in Windsor, where houses sit close together. Pool enclosures often use the house or a garage as one side, and commercial properties in the city's industrial areas need fencing that handles trucks and security within the city's non-residential height and setback rules.

Questions to ask before you hire

Whoever you hire for privacy fences in Windsor, get clear answers to these before signing:

• What height is allowed in each part of my yard?
• How will you handle wind on my lot?
• Which side will face the neighbours?
• How will the fence handle drainage at the bottom?

By-laws, permits and locates

Windsor's fence by-law allows fences up to 2.2 metres in side and rear yards, 1.2 metres in front yards, and up to 2.5 metres along an alley or public walkway, with a 0.9 metre limit inside the sight triangle at corner lots (open chain link or metal pickets can be taller there). Pool enclosures fall under a separate by-law and need a permit. Rules change, so we confirm current requirements for your address during planning, and utility locates are always requested before digging.
