Fencing in Courtenay
Courtenay is the largest community and only city in the Comox Valley, home to roughly 28,000 people, and the commercial and population centre of the region. It sits on the Strait of Georgia where the Puntledge and Tsolum rivers meet to form the Courtenay River, on a low coastal plain with the mountains rising inland. For fencing, Courtenay is mostly city work — established neighbourhoods, residential lots, and a steady amount of fence replacement as older fences reach end of life. We’ve fenced this city for 25 years, and the bulk of what we do here is straightforward, well-priced cedar and chain link for homeowners.

A few things about fencing in Courtenay
A lot of Courtenay fencing is replacement work — the city’s established neighbourhoods have fences that have reached the end of their service life and need rebuilding. Replacement is straightforward: old-fence removal and disposal is available and quoted as a separate line, never bundled into the fence price. Fence height and placement in the city are governed by City of Courtenay bylaws, and confirming the right height for a front yard, corner lot, or back yard is part of what we do at the quote. Every fence is quoted on the property — length, height, gates, slope, ground conditions, and access all move the number.
Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Do you install fences across all of Courtenay?
Yes — we work the whole city. Cedar, chain link, metal panel, framed wire, farm, and custom fencing, for residential, commercial, and property-line jobs throughout Courtenay. If you’re not sure your property is in range, ask when you call.
How much does a fence cost in Courtenay?
Every fence in Courtenay is quoted on the property — there’s no flat per-foot price. The number depends on total length, height, the number and width of gates, ground and digging conditions, removal of an old fence, and access to the work area. We come to the site, measure, and give you a real number for your property.
Do you replace old fences in Courtenay?
Yes — replacement is a large part of what we do here, since many of Courtenay’s established neighbourhoods have fences at end of life. We remove and dispose of the old fence and build the new one. Removal is quoted as a separate line on the estimate, not bundled into the fence price.
Are there fence height rules in Courtenay?
Yes. Fence height and placement are set by City of Courtenay bylaws, and the limits can differ for front yards, back yards, and corner lots. We confirm the rules that apply to your specific property when we quote, so the fence is built right the first time.
How long does a cedar fence last in Courtenay?
A properly built cedar fence on Central and North Vancouver Island lasts 15 to 25 years. Lifespan comes down to the posts more than the boards — treated posts set in concrete are what carry it. Courtenay’s wet winters are normal coastal conditions, and a fence built properly for them holds up well.
