Fence installation in Pickering and Ajax

Pickering and Ajax are neighbouring Durham Region municipalities on Lake Ontario, each with its own fence rules. Property Fence installs fences from Frenchman's Bay and the Ajax waterfront to rural Claremont.

What we account for in Pickering and Ajax

  • Lake Ontario waterfront
  • Frenchman's Bay area
  • Rural Claremont properties
  • Pool enclosures

Neighbourhoods we serve

We serve both communities including Pickering Waterfront, Ajax Waterfront, Amberlea's established area, Central West Ajax, and rural Claremont properties.

Local considerations

Waterfront lots take more wind, and properties near creek valleys and the shoreline can fall in a conservation-regulated area. Rural Claremont properties often need longer runs and farm-style gates.
