Frequently Asked Questions about Fencing in Oakville
What types of fences are best suited for properties near Lake Ontario?
Aluminum, vinyl, and composite fences are best suited for Lake Ontario properties because salt-laden air, moisture, and wind require corrosion-resistant, low-maintenance, and wind-permeable designs.
Aluminum is rust-resistant and requires powder-coated or marine-grade finishes for long life in humid, salt-affected air.
Vinyl/PVC is moisture- and salt-resistant and requires minimal maintenance for privacy or picket styles.
Composite is rot-free and UV-stable and requires less upkeep than wood in damp, windy conditions.
Does the Town of Oakville have specific by-laws for heritage properties?
Yes, the Town of Oakville has specific by-laws for heritage properties under the Ontario Heritage Act that require heritage permits for most alterations and regulate demolition.
Heritage permits are required before making changes to designated properties that affect heritage attributes, including new construction, alterations to exterior elements like windows and doors, demolition, paint color changes, and hard landscaping modifications. Heritage permits are free and most are processed within established timeframes.
Are there height restrictions for fences in Oakville's front yards?
Yes, Oakville's front-yard fence height is 1.5 metres, and any portion above 1.0 metre is required to be commercially available open lattice.
The visibility triangle at corners and driveways is restricted to 0.91 metres for any fence or hedge to protect sightlines.
Rear and side yard fences are 2.0 metres, with up to 2.2 metres allowed if the top 0.36 metres is open lattice; front yards do not use this higher limit.
Gates, archways, and decorative caps have limited height allowances above these limits as specified in the by-law.
