GTA Fencing Company proudly serves homeowners and businesses across Markham.

Fence Repair, Gates, and Post Replacement
When we compare materials and access options for Markham, we explain where a synthetic fence system such as vinyl, a perimeter fence with security upgrades, or an electric gate operator makes sense for the property.
Local Fence Planning in Markham
Markham covers established neighbourhoods, new subdivisions, corner lots, shared property lines and sloped yards, and the right fence changes across them. We start from your street — Unionville's heritage frontages and Cornell's new builds rarely want the same fence — and where an existing run has failed, we quote removal and replacement rather than patching it.

Drainage, Slope, and Lot Layout
If your yard has a slope, a drainage swale or a low corner where water collects, that decides the post plan. We set footings and follow the grade so water does not pool against the posts. Get this wrong and the fence is loose again within a few winters.
Why Choose GTA Fencing Company in Markham?
The right fence for a Markham property depends on which Markham you are in — Unionville's heritage frontages, Cornell's new-build streets, and Angus Glen's golf-community lots all call for a different recommendation. We start from your street, not a citywide default.
Historic and New-Development Awareness
We plan fences that suit both established neighborhoods and newer communities instead of using the same recommendation everywhere.
Residential Installation with Commercial Support
We support homeowner installations across Markham first, with repair work and commercial perimeter projects available where the site calls for them.
Neighborhood-Level Service Coverage
Unionville, Cornell, Angus Glen, Berczy Village, Thornhill, and surrounding communities all have different lot conditions and visual expectations.
Height Limits and Drainage Planning
Markham holds front-yard and exterior side-yard fences to 1.2 metres and interior side or rear yards to 1.8 metres, and fences cannot block drainage features — they have to follow the property grade. If your yard has a slope or a low corner where water collects, we set footings to that grade so the fence is not loose again after the first few winters.

Markham Fence Installation FAQs
Common questions about fencing in Markham and the surrounding area.
Yes, you can build a fence in your front yard in Markham, but there are restrictions. Residential front-yard fences are typically permitted up to 1.2 metres (4 feet) in height. On corner lots, the exterior side yard is also limited to this height, while interior side and rear yards may allow fences up to 1.8 metres (6 feet).
In residential zones:
- Front yard and exterior side yard fences: maximum height 1.2 metres (4 feet)
- Interior side and rear yard fences: maximum height 1.8 metres (6 feet)
Fences must not block drainage features and should follow the property grade.
Yes. Markham's corporate campuses, technology business parks, and institutional sites often need commercial-grade fencing, gates, and access control, and we install all three. We work with property managers and facility teams on perimeter, security, and access-controlled gate projects, with site visits and written proposals.
