New Development and Grading Considerations
In some Burlington neighbourhoods, fence installation may be affected by grading completion, builder-installed fencing, drainage, or shared property lines. During the quote, GTA Fencing Company reviews the property condition and recommends the right timing and installation approach.
Pool Fence and Division Fence Planning
Burlington fence projects may involve pool fencing, neighbour coordination, shared boundaries, and material choices. Pool-area projects should be planned carefully around gate placement, access, visibility, and municipal requirements.
Old Fence Removal and Disposal
In Burlington, storms and time take their toll, and many projects open with taking down a fence that has been damaged or worn down. Where removal is part of the quote, we clear the old panels and posts and prepare the line for a fresh install or partial replacement.

Burlington Fencing FAQs
Local bylaw details, permit requirements, and practical answers for Burlington homeowners.
Do I need a permit for a standard backyard fence in Burlington?
No, a standard backyard fence in Burlington is permit-exempt, and fence work is regulated by the City's fence by-law rather than a building permit process.
The City's rules state that a fence is permit-free if it follows the height and visibility limits: rear and side yard fences are 2.0 metres, and any fence within 3 metres of the front property line is 1.2 metres. A fence is required to be on private property and outside visibility triangles at intersections and driveways, where solid elements are limited to 1.0 metre for sightlines.
Are there any special fence regulations for homes near the Niagara Escarpment?
Yes, homes within the Niagara Escarpment's Area of Development Control are subject to the Niagara Escarpment Commission rules, and fencing is regulated as "development" with specific exemptions and permit requirements.
A fence is exempt from an NEC Development Permit if it meets Ontario Regulation 828/90's criteria, including a maximum fence height of 2.4 metres and compliance with listed exemption classes. A fence that is not exempt is required to obtain an NEC Development Permit before municipal approvals, and NEC review is required to ensure landscape and environmental compatibility. Municipal fence by-laws remain applicable, but NEC rules are required precedence within the Area of Development Control.
What are the rules for swimming pool enclosures in Burlington?
Yes, Burlington requires a Pool Enclosure Permit for any pool 600 mm or deeper, and a compliant enclosure is required before filling the pool.
A pool enclosure is required to surround private pools and is required to include self-closing, self-latching gates with latches on the inside near the top; thumb latches are prohibited.
Fence heights are required to meet material-specific minimums and a maximum of 2.0 m; common minimums are 1.2 m for wood, 1.5 m for wrought iron, and 1.2 m for chain link with 1.5 inch mesh (1.82 m minimum if 2 inch mesh).
The permit application is required to include a survey, a site plan, fees, and tree protection documents where applicable; zoning and forestry reviews are required.
