Community❓Common Questions
A 100-foot pressure-treated wood fence typically costs between $4,500 and $8,000, depending on the height, post size (e.g., 4x4 vs 6x6), and terrain.
You generally do not need a permit for a backyard fence under 2 meters (6.5 feet) or a front yard fence under 1.2 meters (4 feet). If your design exceeds these heights, a City of Calgary permit is required, which can cost between $200 and $500.
Chain-link fencing is the most budget-friendly option, typically costing between $25 and $45 per linear foot fully installed, though it offers limited privacy compared to wood or vinyl.
Labor typically accounts for 40% to 50% of the total fence installation budget in Calgary, with professional contractors charging an average of $30 to $50 per hour.
