Five sectors, one set of rules

Hull, Aylmer, Gatineau, Buckingham and Masson-Angers have been a single city since 2002. Whichever sector you live in, the same height, setback and permit rules apply.

The permit, backwards from what most people expect

No permit is required for an ordinary residential fence. The one exception is a fence enclosing a pool, which does require one. Most people believe the opposite.

Allowed heights

1.2 m in the front yard. 1.5 m in a side yard adjacent to a street. 2 m in a side yard not adjacent to a street and in the rear yard, for a building of 1 to 4 dwellings.

The setback that costs money when it is missed

The fence must sit at least 1 m from a sidewalk, or 1.5 m from a street curb where there is none, and entirely on your property. A fence set too close gets moved in full, not adjusted. That is why we measure before digging.

Quick questions about fences in Gatineau

Do I need a permit for a fence in Gatineau?
For an ordinary residential fence, no. The one exception is a fence enclosing a pool: that one needs a permit. Verified 3 August 2026.
How high can a fence be in Gatineau?
1.2 m in the front yard, 1.5 m in a side yard next to a street, and 2 m in a side yard away from the street and in the back yard. Verified 3 August 2026.
How far from the sidewalk does the fence have to sit?
At least 1 m from a sidewalk, or 1.5 m from the street curb where there is no sidewalk, entirely on your own property. Verified 3 August 2026.
What does a fence cost in Gatineau?
It comes down to the length, the material and the number of gates. The ground matters too, since a slope or rocky soil means more digging. That is exactly why the visit and the quote are free. We measure, we look at the site, and you get a firm written price instead of a range that means nothing.
What is the best time of year to install?
Spring through late fall, as long as the ground is not frozen. Spring is the busiest stretch, so asking early gives you more choice of dates. Fall is often the easiest time to get an installation booked quickly.
What does the 5 year warranty cover?
The installation itself: the posts, the alignment, the hardware and the workmanship, for 5 years, in writing. Impact damage, exceptional storms and changes made by someone else are not covered.
Do you offer financing?
Yes, financing is available. A fence is a project that lasts decades, so you do not have to pay for all of it at once. Ask us during the visit and we go through the terms with you before you decide anything.

Kevin & his team were very easy to work with and I'm very happy with the result of my new fence. I changed a few things to the original plan and there was no trouble or hassle in doing so. I'm already planning to hire them for another project!
