💬What People Actually Paid
Community❓Common Questions
In 2026, you do not need a permit if the fence is under 1.2m (4ft) in the front yard or 1.85m (6.1ft) in the side/rear yards. Fences exceeding these heights require a Development Permit, which typically costs between $50 and $200.
Due to Edmonton's freeze-thaw cycles, posts must be set at least 4 feet (1.2m) deep to reach below the frost line. Failure to do so often results in post-heaving within 1-2 seasons.
Chain link remains the most affordable option at $25 to $35 per linear foot installed. Pressure-treated wood is the mid-range standard at $45 to $55 per linear foot.
No. In Edmonton, there is no legal obligation for a neighbor to pay for a fence unless a prior written agreement exists. Most homeowners negotiate a 50/50 split, but the party wanting the fence is responsible for the full cost if the neighbor refuses.
