The by-law does not regulate where you should put the fence, be it on or near your property line. It also does not regulate how costs for the fence are determined by neighboring property owners.

Can fence posts shift in winter?

The freezing and thawing during the winter can cause the soil beneath your fence to expand and contract in winter. Experienced fence installers in Ottawa will ensure that the fence posts are installed past the frost line, which will reduce the likelihood of your fence structure being compromised due to the shifting of posts.

Can fences and their posts rot in winter?

During the cooler winter months, fences are exposed to increased moisture. This effect can put the wood fibers under strain, which may increase the likelihood of mildew and rot. To minimize the chance of fences and posts being exposed to mold, be sure to remove organic matter and leaves from fence boards.
