Fence installation in Ottawa.Built right.

There is no single Ottawa fence price, because the cost of a project is set by the material, the total length, the height, the number of gates, how easily equipment can reach the yard, the ground conditions, and whether an existing fence has to come out first.

Rideau Fence & Gate measures the actual property and issues a written quote for it, rather than publishing a per-foot rate that would be wrong for most yards. Send your project details through the estimator and we will confirm the scope with you.

Wood, vinyl, chain link and aluminum all stand up to Ottawa winters when the complete system — posts, footings, hardware and fasteners — is specified for the site rather than just the panel style.

The right choice comes down to how much privacy you want, how much maintenance you are willing to take on, the look you are after, and what the ground and grade on your property will support. We compare the suitable systems with you before anything is ordered.

Fence posts in the Ottawa area are set below the local frost line, so that freeze-thaw movement over the winter cannot lift them out of alignment.

The exact depth and footing method depend on the fence system, its height, and the soil, drainage and grade on your property. We confirm the approach during the on-site review and write it into the project scope.

Fences in Ottawa are governed by the City of Ottawa's fence by-law, which sets maximum heights and treats front yards differently from rear and side yards; pool enclosures are regulated separately and carry their own requirements.

We confirm the current rules for your property and yard type as part of the review, so the fence you approve is a fence that is allowed to be built. If a pool is involved, tell us at the estimate stage.

Yes. Tear-out, removal, disposal and cleanup of an existing fence can be written into the project scope alongside the new installation.

Describe what is there now in the estimator — material, rough length and condition — and it will be included in the written quote rather than added as a surprise later.

Yes. Walk gates and driveway gates can be planned into a fence project from the start, and repair requests are reviewed individually to confirm whether a repair or a replacement makes more sense.

Gate openings are sized for how the space is actually used, and the posts and hardware are specified to carry the gate over the long term rather than to match the fence line alone.

Rideau Fence & Gate installs and repairs fences and gates across Ottawa and the surrounding communities, including Nepean, Barrhaven, Kanata, Stittsville, Orléans, Manotick, Gloucester, Riverside South, Greely, Osgoode, Carp.

If you are not sure whether your street is covered, send your postal code with your request and we will confirm before going any further.

Send your name, phone number and postal code through the form on this page, or call 613-518-4000, and we will contact you to confirm the project and arrange the next step.

The longer project planner lets you add the material, approximate length, height, gate count and the condition of any existing fence, which means fewer questions before a written quote can be prepared.
