In Windsor, a permit is required if the fence exceeds 2.2 meters (approx. 7.2 feet) in height for side or rear yards, or 1.2 meters (approx. 4 feet) in the front yard. The 2026 minimum permit fee is $250 plus a $70 zoning certificate fee.
To prevent shifting during freeze-thaw cycles, posts in Windsor must be set at least 4 feet (1.2 meters) deep to reach below the local frost line. This excavation typically adds $10–$25 per post to labor costs.
Chain link remains the most affordable option in 2026, costing between $15 and $25 per linear foot installed. Pressure-treated wood is the next tier at $27 to $45 per linear foot.
Booking in late summer or early fall can result in a 5% to 10% discount as peak spring demand tapers off. Spring 2026 quotes are currently at a premium due to high seasonal volume.
