Fence supply, rental and installation in Quebec City
Quebec City — Canada's only walled city north of Mexico — anchors Vieux-Québec UNESCO walls, the Citadelle, and the Parliament Hill grounds. With a population of 549,459 and roughly 4,500 housing starts per year, the fencing market spans residential privacy backyards in Sainte-Foy university quarter, commercial perimeters, and pool enclosures across the metro. Local installs face 160 cm frost depth and 303 cm average annual snowfall in climate zone Zone 7A — posts here are spec'd to footings below the local frost line, and snow-load gates use heavier hinges. Permit fees run $100-400, with labour at $55-85/hr. Fenced.ca ships supply, rental, and installation crews into Quebec City from the nearest dispatch point with 24-hour quote turnaround.
