What a 100-Foot Wood Privacy Fence Costs in Ottawa
$3,000 to $7,500 for 100 feet
A 6-foot wood privacy fence, in two Ontario installer price pages, 2025–26. An example, not a promise: gates and removal are extra.
Reviewed 2026-09-30 · how we set these ranges
Two Ontario installer price pages use a 100-foot run as a whole-fence example, and put a 6-foot wood privacy fence at roughly $3,000 to $7,500. A 6-foot fence is within the 213 cm limit for side and rear yards. The drawing below starts at 100 feet and uses the per-foot ranges for the material you pick, so its band will not match the two-page example exactly; change the sides to your own.

How tall can a backyard fence be?
In side and rear yards the limit is 213 cm, about 7 feet, so a 6-foot fence fits. In a front yard the limit is 1 m.
