Why Dunbar, Vancouver Homeowners Choose Us
Dunbar fences take a beating from Metro Vancouver weather, wet soil, and shifting grades. Dunbar is prime West Side family territory — homes typically 1930s–60s on generous lots with mature trees. Renovations here lean upscale: high-end kitchens, additions, laneway homes. We build fences that stay plumb — with proper post depth, gravel drainage, and pressure-treated or cedar materials matched to your property's exposure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Fencing in Dunbar, Vancouver — FAQs
How much does a fence cost in Dunbar?+
Cedar privacy fences in Dunbar 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 Dunbar. 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.
