In 2026, a permit is generally not required for standard residential fences under 2.2m (7.2 ft) in rear/side yards or 0.9m (3 ft) in front yards. However, if your project exceeds these limits or involves a pool enclosure, permit fees typically range from $150 to $400 CAD.
For 2026, pressure-treated wood installation averages $45 to $70 per linear foot, while premium Western Red Cedar ranges from $55 to $85 per linear foot, including labor and materials.
Oshawa's climate requires fence posts to be set at least 4 feet (1.2m) deep to prevent winter heaving. This excavation and concrete work typically accounts for 15-20% of the total labor cost, or roughly $12 to $18 per post.
Chain-link remains the most cost-effective option at $15 to $40 per linear foot. A standard 150-foot backyard enclosure using chain-link typically costs between $2,500 and $4,500 CAD.
