A standard fence install does not include concrete. We discovered less disturbance to the ground and less mess in regards to hauling tailings. And because concrete is still porous – posts that are in low-lying areas or high traffic are subject to frost jacking due to the water settling and the pressure causes the concrete plugs to heave.

In standard conditions, we install posts 48” into the ground, deep enough to go below the frost line.

• A building permit is not required to build a standard residential fence. However, there are restrictions to heights and additions to your fence that must comply with the building code and applicable zoning requirements such as:
  • Height restrictions for residential property - 6’0” (2.0 m) for rear and side yards, and 4’0” (1.2 m) for front yards.
  • Barbed wire and electric fences are not permitted in residential areas.
• A fence may be erected along and up to a property line but within property limits – where shared by adjoining neighbours, a fence may be built right on the property line.
• Property lines can be accurately located by a qualified Land Surveyor

• As a homeowner and commercial property owner, you will need to contact the various utility companies for an underground locate. They will indicate by stakes, paint and/or drawings where the various cables, gas lines, etc. are located. In Manitoba, there is a service Click Before You Dig MB that acts as a utility notification service for all the utility companies that are members. This is a free service and required before every installation. Website: http://clickbeforeyoudigmb.com/ or Call: 1-800-940-3447 
• Customer-owned utility lines need to be identified as well. Click Before You Dig MB will only locate publicly owned underground utilities that are registered with their service. Any utilities that are not registered such as sprinkler systems, water and sewer service, or lines connecting buildings on property will need to be located. Wallace and Wallace can provide this service to you as an additional charge on your work order or you can choose to contact a private locator on your behalf.
