Custom Fence Installation in Thunder Bay
When you need fence installation in Thunder Bay, you need someone who understands what the ground does here every winter. At Fence Deck Sheds, we set every post to the right depth for our freeze-thaw cycle, use pressure-treated lumber rated for northern Ontario, and build every fence to stand straight for decades — not just the first two summers. Whether you want a wood privacy fence for the backyard, a chain link fence around a commercial property, or a custom cedar fence at the front of the house, we quote it, build it, and stand behind it.

Fence Permit Rules in Thunder Bay — What You Need to Know
Height limit: Fences over 2 metres (approximately 6.5 feet) in height require a building permit from the City of Thunder Bay.
Corner-lot rules: Visibility triangle restrictions apply at intersections — your fence cannot obstruct sightlines for drivers. We check this before we quote.
Boundary fences:A fence on the shared property line may require a written agreement with your neighbour under Ontario's Line Fences Act. We walk you through this if it applies.
What we do: We tell you exactly what your project needs, assist with permit applications, and build to the City of Thunder Bay fence by-law in every case. No surprises after the fact.
