Wood Fence Styles

The most common wood type for fencing material in Edmonton is pressure-treated spruce. Cedar is another standard premium option. Please inquire if you have another wood type in mind.

Essentially you have the choice between 4×4, 4×6, or 6×6 posts. Rails can be 2×4 or 2×6 and there can be 2 or 3. Fence pickets may be spaced out, tightly butted together, or overlapped for complete privacy. The post tops may be cut into a pyramid, flat, or at a consistent angle all the way across. You may also opt for a decorative top covering. Spans between fence posts are typically 8′ wide, although with 6×6 posts 10′ spans is common.

The City of Edmonton allows for fence heights of up to 2.0m or 6’7″ in the side and rear yard, and 1.3m or 4’3″ in the front yard, you can read more about city fence bylaws here. Also, remember we are able to build any design requested and will advise you when a permit would be needed.

The following descriptions of different fence styles are just examples to give you an idea of what is potentially available.We are able to accommodate any desired style.
