Naybur Contracting installs fences across Vancouver — cedar, composite, vinyl, and aluminum. Vancouver's narrow city lots and side-yard easements drive different fence approaches than the suburban municipalities. Most Vancouver fence projects land between $6,000 and $22,000, one to two weeks. Free site visit.
What it costs in Vancouver
Ranges reflect typical Naybur pricing in Vancouver for 2026. Final quote depends on spec, finishes, and site conditions — we provide a fixed-price quote after a free in-home consultation.
Vancouver permits
Vancouver does not require a permit for a fence on a single detached or duplex lot at four feet or less along the front yard perimeter, or six feet or less along the sides and rear. A standard six-foot back-yard fence needs no permit at all. It is only a front-yard fence above the limit that goes to the Director of Planning for a development permit. Two details that catch people: the by-law figure is 1.2 m, which is 3 ft 11 in rather than a full four feet, and a fence on or within 1 m of a shared boundary retaining wall has its allowance cut by half the wall's height. Vancouver also counts arbours, archways, gates, pergolas, screens and trellises as fences. A wall that retains soil is a separate matter from a fence and is permitted separately — we flag that before we quote. Source: City of Vancouver, Building a fence or wall, read 2026-10-07.
Material choices
Cedar is the Vancouver default — beautiful, naturally rot-resistant, ages to silver-grey. Annual sealing extends to 20+ years.
Composite fencing (Trex, Fortress) is maintenance-free, 25+ years, more expensive upfront.
Aluminum for modern look — slim picket, see-through option, premium hardware.
Vinyl is the budget option — fine but less premium-looking than cedar or composite.
