In 2026, a standard pressure-treated wood fence in Edmonton typically costs between $50 and $80 per linear foot, depending on the post size (e.g., 4x4 vs 6x6) and design complexity.
Chain link fencing is the most budget-friendly option, averaging $25 to $35 per linear foot installed. It is highly durable against Edmonton's harsh winters.
You generally do not need a permit if your fence is under 1.2 meters (4 feet) in the front yard or 1.85 meters (6.1 feet) in the rear yard. Fences exceeding these heights require a development permit from the City of Edmonton.
Contractors in Edmonton typically charge an additional $3 to $10 per linear foot for the demolition and disposal of an existing fence.
