Preliminary Steps For Your Ottawa Fence
As you get ready to build your Ottawa fence, you’ll first want to establish what functionality you need. Privacy. Fence in the dog and/or kids. Keep animals out. Landscaping.
Combine that with the measurements you need for your fence and head into The Fence and Deck Store’s Ottawa showroom to establish a budget for your do-it-yourself Ottawa fence.
But before you even come into our showroom to discus options, you need to check on your limitations. Many homeowners associations or neighborhoods have limits on how high a fence can be or the materials you use. Your city planning department may also have rules you need to adhere to for your Ottawa fence. Restrictions on setbacks and height vary. Often a privacy fence between properties can’t be taller than 6 feet. Fences in the front may be limited to restrictions even stricter. The point is, find out what you can do so you know what you need in the way of materials.
And while you are checking with the city and neighborhood regulations, take a moment to tell your neighbors with lots that connect to yours about your plans for a new Ottawa fence. It is not required, but it is the polite thing to do.
Another key in budgeting how much you will need in materials. You have your preferences as to where the fence should go – but hire a surveyor if you are building on your property’s boundaries. It’s less expensive than tearing it down and moving it after the fact.
Materials
Once you have checked all those preliminary steps, the fun part starts – choosing what your Ottawa fence will look like and the materials to be used. There will be a big variance of cost between materials, so know what you want to spend and let it guide you in your decision.
