Lower fence limits and corner lots
Markham's backyard fence limit is 1.8 m, lower than the 2 m many people expect from other cities. Corner lots have their own options for the rear fence, using open lattice or a lower solid panel.
A detached rear-yard deck smaller than 10 square metres doesn't need a permit, but most decks built off the house do. We confirm which applies before quoting.
