Mississauga winters require 1.2m (4ft) minimum frost-line below grade on every fence post. Quote per-post excavation and concrete-set or helical pile (CAD $140 to $420 per post) as separate line.

CAD $115 to $260 per linear foot for premium wrought iron or matched cedar privacy fencing. Old Port Credit (L5G) and Streetsville (L5M) HCD-area Victorian and Edwardian backyard clients pay premium for craftsmanship and original-era detail. Quote design fee separately (CAD $1,400 to $7,000); the design IP is yours. HCD-area properties need Mississauga Heritage Advisory Committee approval (8 to 16 weeks).
Per-metre installed rates: timber $80-180/m, Colorbond $130-250/m, aluminium slat $200-350/m, palisade $250-450/m. Glass pool fence runs $280-550/m. These are 1.8m heights; add 20-30% per extra 600mm of height.
Colorbond is steel sheet with baked-on colour, lasts 20-40 years, never needs painting, costs 40-60% more than timber. Timber lasts 12-25 years, needs oiling or staining every 3-5 years, costs less upfront. Colorbond wins on lifetime cost; timber wins on aesthetics and immediate budget.
For fencing over $2,000, get 2-3 quotes. Compare material grade, post setting method, height, gate spec, and warranty. The cheapest quote often skips concrete posts, uses sub-grade material, or omits gate hardware.
In most regions, boundary fences are joint property between neighbours; you both pay 50/50 for replacement. Get neighbour sign-off in writing BEFORE quoting work. Some regions have legislated fencing cost-sharing.
Yes for front-yard fences over 1.2m, pool fences (compliance certificate), and many security fences. The contractor should know your local rules and quote any approvals as line items.
