Elevate your home with a perimeter that combines prestige and power. Ornamental fencing delivers a perfect union of sophisticated charm and ironclad security, offering a high-end look without the burden of rust. It’s the ultimate “timeless” solution for a stately, maintenance-free property line.
We offer a wide selection of ornamental fencing styles and custom solutions designed to complement the unique architectural aesthetic of any Ottawa home.
At Commence Fence, we prioritize clarity and craftsmanship through every stage of your project. Our straightforward, five-step process is designed to provide Ottawa homeowners with a stress-free experience and a high-quality result that lasts for decades.
We start with a call to understand your needs and discuss a fence solution, along with a preliminary price range. If it makes sense, we schedule an on-site visit to measure, assess the property, and confirm details. After that, we send a quote by email including materials, specifications, and measurements.
Once you approve your quote and provide a deposit, we start preparing your project — including arranging all utility locates. Your project is then added to our production schedule, and your installation is typically booked within 2–6 weeks, depending on the time of year.
We use traditional cemented post installation for ornamental fences, setting each post securely in concrete for maximum strength and long-term stability. This proven method is ideal for ornamental systems and ensures a clean, precise finish built to last through Ottawa’s seasons.
After your project is completed and a thorough cleanup is done, we complete a final walkthrough with you to ensure every detail meets our standards for craftsmanship — and your expectations. Our goal is to deliver a finished project that not only meets your needs, but truly exceeds them.

Iron fencing offers a perfect balance of strength, security, and timeless elegance. It provides excellent durability, resists weather and corrosion with a protective coating, and requires minimal maintenance. Iron fences enhance curb appeal while maintaining visibility, making them ideal for both residential and commercial properties that need long-lasting security without sacrificing style.
We install the three most popular iron fence styles in the Ottawa region: Buxton, Caldwell, and Richmond. These styles are available in 4 ft, 5 ft, and 6 ft heights, allowing you to choose the look and level of security that best fits your property.
Iron fences can be installed year-round. At Commence Fence, we use a No-Dig Fence System with PostMaster steel posts driven 4–5 feet deep, well below Ontario’s frost line. This means no messy digging, no concrete, and reliable installation in any season—providing unmatched strength and long-term stability
With proper installation and a quality powder-coated finish, iron fences and railings typically last 30 years or more.
Our pickets are made from square steel tubing, which is the industry standard for modern iron fencing. Square tube pickets offer the best balance of strength, weight, and cost. Solid pickets add significant unnecessary weight, making panels much heavier, harder to install, and more expensive to ship, while also greatly increasing the overall cost—often several times more. From a structural standpoint, properly engineered hollow square tubing can be as strong as, or stronger than, solid metal in real-world applications, making it the most practical and reliable choice for iron fences and railings.
Yes. Our fence materials are designed to meet the needs of both residential and commercial projects. We offer durable, code-compliant options that provide long-lasting performance, security, and a professional appearance, whether the project is a private home, multi-unit property, or commercial site.
Iron fencing is significantly more secure than materials like wood or vinyl due to its strength, build quality, and durability. Our residential iron fences provide an excellent balance of security and ornamental appeal, while our commercial and industrial iron fencing is specifically designed for enhanced security. For added protection, you can choose taller fence heights and a variety of secure gate options to further increase safety on your property.
On Average we instal iron fences in 2-3 days, while larger projects may take up to 1 week.
You can build a fence on the property line in Ottawa only if your neighbour agrees to share ownership and costs. If they don’t consent, the fence must be built fully on your property – ideally with a small setback (about 2 inches) to avoid any encroachment issues. Building on the line means shared responsibility and joint decisions about material, style, colour, and height. Building inside your line keeps full control – and ongoing costs – entirely yours. Always confirm local bylaws and property surveys before building
