Fence Installation in Kawartha Lakes
Town Lots, Cottages and Waterfront
We build fences across Kawartha Lakes: town lots in Lindsay, cottage properties around Bobcaygeon and Fenelon Falls, and waterfront lots where the shoreline brings its own rules. We confirm your height limit with the city before we price the job.

A privacy fence on a Lindsay street, a pool enclosure at a Bobcaygeon cottage and a property-line run on a rural lot are three different projects. The city's fence by-law sets the heights, and it is not published as a simple table, so we check your limit with the Building & Septic Division rather than assume.
Near the water, Kawartha Conservation may need to approve the work as well. We sort that out before the first post goes in, and every post goes in below the frost line.
Our Fence Services in Kawartha Lakes
Installation, replacement and repair: the whole job, from the permit to the clean-up.
Privacy screens
Where a taller fence isn't allowed, a screen on the deck often is. We build them to match the deck.
Staining and sealing
Let new treated wood dry a season, then stain. It holds colour and checks far less.
Privacy fence installation
Solid pressure-treated or cedar privacy fences at the height your lot allows, posts set in concrete below the frost line.

Kawartha Lakes Fence Rules and Permits
Kawartha Lakes regulates fences under its own by-law but does not publish a simple height table online, so we confirm your limit rather than quote a number we cannot stand behind.
- Fence heights
- Set by the City of Kawartha Lakes Fence By-law. We confirm the limit for your property with the Building & Septic Division (705-324-9411) before quoting.
- Pools
- Pools and their enclosures fall under Pool By-law 2005-314 and need a permit from the Building & Septic Division.
- Shoreline lots
- Close to the water, Kawartha Conservation can regulate what goes up.
- Town and rural
- A fence on a Lindsay street and a line fence on a rural lot are different jobs, and can be treated differently.
- Before digging
- Call Ontario One Call on 1-800-400-2255 for locates. It is free, it is the law, and a fence line or footing is exactly where buried services turn up.
If we cannot confirm a figure with the city, we say so. We will not guess at your height limit.
