Fence Building in Moncton, NB
Governed by two things most homeowners do not think about until the project starts: the frost line, and the property line.
Fence building in Moncton is governed by two things most homeowners do not think about until the project starts: the frost line, and the property line. Valhalla Construction builds fences across Moncton, Dieppe, and Riverview, set to the same frost-footing standard used on every post-supported structure we build.
Posts set below the frost line
A fence post that is not set below New Brunswick's frost depth — roughly 1.2 metres in this region — will heave over a few winters as the ground freezes and thaws around it, leaving gates that stop closing square and panels that lean. It is the same principle that governs deck footings, and it applies just as much to a six-foot privacy fence as it does to a full deck structure.
Material choice changes the maintenance, not the framing
Wood, vinyl, and chain-link fences differ mostly in maintenance and appearance rather than in how they go into the ground. Wood needs the most upkeep and offers the most flexibility in height and style; vinyl holds up with the least maintenance; chain-link is the most economical option for marking a boundary without blocking the view.
Property lines and local setback rules
A fence sits on the property line by agreement or on a legal survey, not by estimate, and most municipalities including Moncton have setback and height rules that vary depending on whether the fence faces a street, a neighbour, or a pool. Getting the line and the height right before building avoids a fence that has to come back down.
Built with the same crew that frames everything else
A fence is a smaller job than a deck or an addition, but it gets built by the same carpenters who frame our decks, additions, and garages — which means the same attention to plumb posts, level rails, and square gates that a much larger structure gets.
