Ballpark for fencing a corner lot backyard in Hunt Club?

For a corner-lot backyard in Hunt Club, start with the published per-foot ranges, then the corner layout rules. Published Ontario installer pricing for 2025–26 runs roughly $30 to $65 per linear foot for pressure-treated wood, $45 to $85 for cedar, $45 to $90 for vinyl, and $55 to $95 or more for composite. A pedestrian gate adds about $500 to $1,500 on top of the fence price, and a driveway gate about $800 to $2,200. If there is an old fence to pull out, add roughly $5 to $15 per linear foot, more where posts are set in concrete.

The things that move the number around in a quote: the material and style you choose, the total length of the run, the number and size of gates, whether old fencing needs to come out, and what the ground is like where the posts go. Ask each installer to break those out as separate line items so you can compare quotes directly.

On a corner lot, two sight-triangle rules apply and they are different. The Fence By-law, as published on ottawa.ca, says no fence over 75 cm within a triangle formed by measuring 3 m along each lot line from the corner, and the same 75 cm limit within a triangle measured 2 m along the lot line and the driveway edge where your driveway meets the street. Separately, Ottawa's Zoning By-laws (2026-50 and 2008-250) say no solid obstruction over 0.75 m within a triangle measured 6 m along each street lot line from the corner; a see-through fence is not counted as an obstruction under that rule, though any chain link on a residential lot must still be vinyl or powder coated under the Fence By-law. Confirm the exact layout of both triangles with the City before the fence is laid out.

The finished side of the fence must face the street and neighbouring properties.

A fair written quote for this job should spell out the material, the height, the total linear footage, each gate as its own line, removal and disposal of any existing fence, and the post method.

Ask the installer to mark both triangles on the layout that comes with the quote, so you can see which runs are kept low near the corner.
