Frequently Asked Questions
Fencing in Commercial Drive, Vancouver — FAQs
How much does a fence cost in Commercial Drive?+
Cedar privacy fences in Commercial Drive typically cost $50–$85 per linear foot fully built. A 100 ft fence averages $5,000–$8,500. Chain-link and basic cedar run $25–$45/ft.
How tall can my Vancouver fence be?+
Vancouver bylaws typically allow 1.2m (4 ft) in front yards and 1.8m (6 ft) in side/rear yards. Corner lots and special zones may have different rules — we verify before quoting.
How deep should fence posts be in Vancouver?+
We set posts 3 ft (36 inches) deep in concrete to clear the frost line and handle wet clay soils common in Commercial Drive. Shallower posts are the #1 cause of leaning fences here.
Cedar or pressure-treated for Vancouver?+
Cedar for panels (natural rot resistance, looks better), pressure-treated for posts (direct ground contact). This hybrid approach gives you 20+ years of service.
Can you replace just a section of my fence?+
Yes — section repairs, single post replacements, and gate rebuilds are all common services. We inspect the full line and quote only what actually needs work.
