Signs You Need To Invest in Fence Repairs

Fences are built to last, but wear and tear can take a toll over time. It's important to look for indicators that your fence may need repairs. Addressing these issues early can help prevent further damage and save you money in the long run.

Watch out for the following signs:

  • Loose or leaning posts: If your fence posts are leaning or appear unstable, it’s a sign that they may have weakened or become improperly anchored.
  • Warped or cracked boards: Damaged boards can affect the fence’s appearance and functionality, especially if they’re warped, cracked, or missing.
  • Rust or corrosion: Metal fences can rust over time, compromising their structural integrity. Regular maintenance is needed to prevent corrosion from spreading.
  • Visible gaps: Gaps between fence panels can indicate that your fence is shifting or settling. This can lead to reduced privacy and security.
  • Rot or mold: Wooden fences, in particular, are vulnerable to rot or mold if they have been exposed to moisture for prolonged periods.

What Are the Most Common Fence Styles?

Pressure-Treated Wood

Pressure-treated wood fencing is a go-to option for standard residential privacy. It’s affordable, easy to install, and widely available, making it ideal for quick, functional boundary setups.

Cedar or Pre-Stained Wood

Cedar and pre-stained wood fences are excellent choices for homeowners who want a natural look with longer-lasting performance. These materials resist rot and surface breakdown, holding up well against Calgary’s varied climate.

Horizontal or Stepped Board Fencing

These styles are ideal for properties facing strong winds or built on sloped terrain. The horizontal layout offers a contemporary look, while stepped panels adapt to uneven ground.

Chain Link (Galvanized or Vinyl-Coated)

Chain link fencing is a budget-conscious solution for defining property lines, enclosing pets, or securing back alleys. It’s durable, low-maintenance, and practical for residential use.

Ornamental Aluminum or Wrought Iron

For homeowners prioritizing curb appeal, ornamental aluminum and wrought iron fences offer an elegant, upscale aesthetic. These materials are incredibly durable, especially when powder-coated, and require little to no maintenance.

What Are the Best Maintenance-Free Fences?

If your goal is to install a fence that won’t require repainting, restaining, or resealing, the following materials rank highest in true zero-maintenance performance:

  • Ornamental aluminum fencing: Made from powder-coated aluminum that resists rust, fading, and chipping, it’s ideal for decorative applications, pool enclosures, and secure boundaries. It requires only an annual cleaning with mild detergent and water.
  • Vinyl (PVC) fencing: Built from moisture- and UV-resistant PVC, available in privacy, picket, and rail styles, it resists insect damage, cracking, and fading. It needs only occasional rinsing to stay clean.
  • Galvanized or vinyl-coated chain link: Constructed with rust-resistant steel or polymer coating for durability, it offers long-lasting perimeter protection with no upkeep. It’s commonly used for utility fencing, pet enclosures, and alleys.
  • Composite fencing systems: Composed of recycled wood fibres and plastic polymers to replicate the appearance of wood, it eliminates the need for sanding, staining, or sealing. It’s typically backed by 20+ year fade and performance warranties.

Which Fence Construction Materials Last the Longest?

When it comes to longevity, metal fencing stands out as the longest-lasting option, with a lifespan of 40 years or more when properly maintained. Clients love these fences because they’re highly resistant to weather, rot, insect damage, and more.

That said, you have other options. Vinyl fencing, for example, is low-maintenance and resistant to fading, while composite fences combine the look of wood with the durability of synthetic materials. Wood options like cedar and redwood, while not as long-lasting, provide a natural aesthetic and can offer great value. We’ll be sure to educate you on proper wood fence maintenance practices.

Which Materials Don’t Suffer From Fence Warping?

Warping usually happens due to moisture absorption and uneven drying, but some materials hold their shape much better. Powder-coated aluminum, wrought iron, high-quality vinyl, and steel-reinforced composites all stay stable in Calgary’s climate. If you prefer wood, Western Red Cedar resists moisture naturally and stays straight when sealed and spaced correctly during installation.

Do You Need a Permit To Build a Fence in Calgary?

In Calgary, fence permits are not typically required for standard residential fencing, provided your installation complies with the regulations outlined in the City of Calgary’s Land Use Bylaw 1P2007.

For most residential lots:

  • The maximum allowable height is 2.0 meters (6.5 feet) in the backyard and 1.2 meters (4 feet) in the front yard.
  • The fence must not obstruct driver sightlines at intersections or encroach on utility rights-of-way.
  • Additional restrictions may apply if your home is on a corner lot or borders a public space.

If your plans include fences that exceed height limits, are near retaining walls or pools, or fall within commercial or multi-residential zoning, it’s best to consult a development officer. While a permit might still not be required, you must adhere to height limits and setback distances to avoid penalties or the possibility of forced removal.
