Reviewed 2026-09-30 · how we set these ranges
Composite's published range runs from about $55 to $95 or more per linear foot. Composite is not one of the materials the Fence By-law excuses from its coating rule, so the maker's finish and care instructions belong in the quote. Draw your run below to see what the range comes to for your yard.

Quick answers
How long does a composite fence last?
We found no Canadian government or association lifespan data for fence materials. Ask for any lifespan claim in writing, from the maker.
Is a composite privacy screen a fence?
A freestanding screen at grade is a fence under Ottawa's by-law, so the same height limits and finished-side rule apply.
