Composite Fence Installation in Toronto and the GTA
Composite privacy fences that look like wood boards and never need staining. Posts set below the frost line, boards gapped to the maker's specs, and heights checked against your city's bylaw.
A privacy fence you never stain
Composite fence boards are made from wood fibre and plastic, much like composite decking. They come in wood-grain colours and keep that colour without paint, stain or sealer. Many systems slide the boards into grooved posts, so each section goes up as one solid wall of boards.
- No staining, sealing or painting
- Boards resist rot and insects
- Washes clean with a hose and mild soap
- A choice of wood-grain colours and finishes
- Same height rules as any other fence
We already build composite screen walls on decks, like this one in King City. A composite fence brings the same low-upkeep material to the property line. We go over the system and colours at the site visit.
Composite fence cost in the GTA
Installed prices before HST, from our fence cost guide. Checked October 2026. Gates, removing the old fence and tight access are extra. The final number comes from photos or a site visit.

What keeps a composite fence straight
Posts below the frost line
Posts go in concrete about 1.2 m (4 ft) deep so frost can't lift them. Where concrete runs right to the fence line, some systems bolt to the slab on a base plate.
Post spacing from the system
Each system sets its own distance between posts, often 1.8 to 2.4 m (6 to 8 ft). We lay out the line to that number so every board fits.
Room to move
Composite grows and shrinks with temperature. Boards get the end gap the manufacturer calls for, so they don't bind in summer heat.
Stronger gate posts
A gate puts the most load on its hinge post. That post gets the reinforcement the system calls for, so the gate keeps closing properly.
Is composite the right fence for you?
- You want full privacy and don't want to stain every few years
- You like the look of wood boards more than vinyl's smooth finish
- You plan to stay long enough for the upkeep savings to count
If budget comes first, a pressure-treated fence costs less up front. If you want the lowest price per foot with no upkeep, look at vinyl. Before any fence goes in, we book locates through Ontario One Call and check your property line against the survey.
