Fence Installation on the North Island
Fence Installation on the North Island, BC
Island Fencing installs fences across the North Island — cedar, chain link, metal panel, framed wire, farm, and custom fencing for homes, acreage, and commercial sites. Whether it’s a new fence or replacing one that’s reached end of life, we handle it start to finish.
Fencing on the North Island
The North Island is the stretch of Central and North Vancouver Island north of Campbell River, reached by Highway 19 as it runs up through the forest toward the top of the Island. It takes in Sayward, Woss, Port McNeill, Port Alice, Telegraph Cove, and Port Hardy — plus the islands of Sointula and Alert Bay, a short run off Port McNeill — smaller communities, more spread out, with a lot of rural and coastal property and far fewer fencing contractors than the towns to the south. We’re based in Campbell River, which puts us at the doorstep of the North Island, and we make the trip up the highway routinely. A North Island fence is built the same way any of ours is — the difference is the planning around getting there, which we sort out up front.

A few things about fencing on the North Island
Fencing the North Island means working with the distance. The communities are spread out along Highway 19 and the side roads off it, so the travel is planned into the job from the start — that’s part of the up-front quote, with no surprises later. A lot of North Island property is rural acreage, and the coastal communities get real exposure to wind and salt air, both of which the build is set up for. Bylaws differ from one community to the next, and confirming the rules for your property is part of what we do at the quote. Old-fence removal and disposal is available on a replacement and quoted as a separate line. Every fence is quoted on the property — length, height, gates, slope, ground conditions, access, and travel all move the number.
Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Which North Island communities do you serve?
We install fences across the North Island — including Sayward, Woss, Port McNeill, Port Alice, Telegraph Cove, Port Hardy, and the islands of Sointula and Alert Bay. Cedar, chain link, metal panel, framed wire, farm, and custom fencing, for residential, commercial, and acreage properties. If you’re on the North Island and not sure whether we reach you, ask when you call.
Are you based on the North Island?
We’re based in Campbell River, at the doorstep of the North Island, and we make the trip up Highway 19 routinely. Being the closest established fencing contractor to a lot of these communities is exactly why we cover the area.
How does the cost work for a North Island fence?
Every fence is quoted on the property — there’s no flat per-foot price. The number depends on total length, height, gates, ground and digging conditions, removal of an old fence, and access. For the North Island, travel is part of the quote too — it’s worked out up front and built into the estimate, so there are no surprises later.
Can you fence rural and coastal North Island property?
Yes. Most North Island property is rural acreage or coastal, and that’s normal ground for us. Rural land means farm fencing, framed wire fencing, and longer runs; coastal exposure means posts and hardware set up for wind and salt air. We account for all of it at the on-site quote.
Is it worth bringing a Campbell River contractor up the Island?
Campbell River is the doorstep of the North Island, so the trip up Highway 19 is a routine one for us — not a special arrangement. You get an established contractor with 25 years on Central and North Vancouver Island, and the travel is quoted up front and built into the estimate.
