The Short Answer on Price
Temporary fence in Hamilton is priced on three things: how much fence, for how long, and how far we're driving. For standard chain-link panels, most jobs land in these ranges:
- Chain-link panels: about $2.50–$5 per linear foot per month
- Delivery, install & pickup: a flat trip charge, roughly $150–$350 depending on size and distance
- Typical residential-lot build: about $250–$500 per month all in
- Larger commercial / development sites: quoted per project — the per-foot rate drops as the run gets longer
Those are honest Hamilton ballparks to plan around. The free quote gives you an exact number for your site — we'd rather you have a real figure than a guess.
What Drives the Number
Two identical-length fences can price differently. Here's what moves it:
- Linear footage: the biggest single factor. Walk the perimeter, or give us the lot dimensions and we'll work it out.
- Rental length: monthly rates get cheaper per foot the longer you keep it; a one-weekend job is priced differently than a six-month build.
- Distance from our yard: a downtown or Mountain site costs less to service than a run out to Flamborough or Binbrook.
- Panel type & footing: weighted feet are standard; driven posts cost more but hold better on exposed, windy sites.
- Add-ons: privacy or wind screen, pedestrian and vehicle gates, and anti-climb configurations each add to the rate.
- Solid hoarding vs chain-link: site hoarding is a different, higher-cost product than open mesh — see the hoarding page.
Pricing by Job Type in Hamilton
Rough guides for the work we quote most often around the city:
- Single residential lot (teardown / build): ~$250–$500/month all in — Mountain infill, Westdale, Ancaster and Dundas additions.
- Commercial / ICI site: quoted per project on footage and term — north-end and Nikola Tesla corridor warehouse builds.
- Development / subdivision phase: per project, best per-foot rate — Binbrook, Waterdown, Elfrida, Glanbrook.
- Short-term / emergency jobs: priced around the two trips plus a short-term rate — often the trip charge dominates.
- Solid hoarding & permit lines: quoted per project; see hoarding & the Hamilton permit.
How to Get an Accurate Quote Fast
Send us three things and we'll price it, usually same day: the site address, the rough linear footage, and your start and end dates. If it's on a sidewalk or road allowance downtown, mention it — that usually means hoarding and a City permit, which changes the spec.
