FAQ: Fence Installation in Montreal
How long does fence installation take?
A standard backyard fence (150 linear feet) takes 2-4 days. Larger properties or complex terrain may take 5-7 days. Concrete curing adds 24-48 hours before panels can be installed.
Do I need a permit for a fence in Montreal?
Most boroughs require a permit for fences over 4ft. Pool fences always require permits. Nael Construction handles all permitting — you don’t need to visit city hall.
What’s the best fence material for Montreal winters?
Vinyl and aluminum perform best in Montreal’s climate — they don’t rot, warp, or rust. Wood requires staining every 2-3 years but offers the most natural look. Chain link is the most economical and handles snow load well.
Who owns the fence between properties?
In Montreal, fences on the property line are typically shared responsibility. We recommend discussing with your neighbour before installation. We can install the fence slightly inside your property line to avoid disputes.
