Pricing an Ornamental Aluminum Fence in Ottawa, Without a Published Range
Too wide a spread to quote
Published Ontario prices for ornamental aluminum varied about four times between pages, so we give no range. Gates have a published range.
Reviewed 2026-09-30 · how we set these ranges
The aluminum price pages we read disagreed too much to publish a range, so this page does what it can: it measures your run and prices the gates, which do have a published range. Every fence other than cedar, redwood or treated wood falls under the by-law's coating rule, so the finish belongs in the quote.

Fencing IQ answers behind these figures
Quick answers
Why is there no range?
The published Ontario pages we read differed by about four times for ornamental aluminum, so a single range would mislead.
Is wrought iron priced here?
We found only one published source for wrought iron, so there is no range for it either.
