Wood fence installation in King typically costs $20 to $40 per linear foot installed. Vinyl (PVC) fence ranges from $30 to $65 per linear foot. Chain-link fence is more economical at $15 to $25 per linear foot. Ornamental steel or aluminum fencing runs $40 to $100 or more per linear foot. Prices vary based on height, terrain, and the complexity of corners, gates, and post depth needed for King's frost line.
Many municipalities in King and across Canada require a permit for fences above a certain height, typically 1.8 metres (6 feet) for rear yards and 0.9 metres (3 feet) for front yards. There may also be setback requirements from property lines and sight-line restrictions near intersections. Your fence contractor should verify local bylaws before installation.
Vinyl (PVC) fencing is extremely popular in King because it does not rot, warp, or require painting, and handles freeze-thaw cycles well. Aluminum fencing is also durable and low-maintenance. Pressure-treated wood is a traditional choice that, with regular staining or sealing, can last 15 to 25 years. Cedar naturally resists rot and is a premium wood option.
A standard residential fence of 100 to 150 linear feet typically takes one to three days for a professional crew depending on the material and complexity. Post holes require frost-depth drilling in King's climate, which adds time. Gates and corners require more precise work. Most contractors can complete an average yard in two days.
Ask whether they handle permit applications as part of the project. Confirm that post holes will be dug to the proper frost depth for King's climate (typically 48 inches or more). Ask about the concrete mix used for posts, the warranty on materials and installation, and how they handle property line disputes if they arise during the project.
