Black horizontal-slat aluminum privacy fence

Aluminum Fencing · Toronto, Ontario

Aluminum Fencing in Toronto.

A rear laneway behind a Leaside or Forest Hill lot needs a gate that actually fits the laneway's width, which is rarely a standard measurement, more than it needs a particular finish.

In short

A wood fence post set above Toronto's frost line heaves out of the ground every winter regardless of how well the panel above it was built, and that same freeze-thaw cycling is what splits the wood in the first place. Crateworks specs aluminum posts set to depth, matched to whatever gate a narrow city lot or a rear laneway actually needs.

Built for Toronto’s climate

Toronto's frost line is the detail most fence failures trace back to. A post set above it gets pushed and heaved by freeze-thaw cycling every winter, regardless of material, so depth is the first spec to get right, and confirm the exact requirement with your municipality since it varies across the GTA. Above ground, material choice decides the next several years. Wood splits and rots at the base as it swings between a humid summer and a frozen winter through the year. Wrought iron rusts outward from the weld points. Composite and WPC hold up better than wood but can turn brittle and crack in a hard freeze, and vinyl does the same, cracking instead of flexing once temperatures drop hard. Pool enclosures also carry their own barrier requirements, height, gap spacing, self-closing gate hardware, set by your municipality, confirm locally before finalizing a layout.

Why it suits Toronto

Sourcing the whole run direct is what puts a laneway-width sliding gate, a front pedestrian gate, and a self-closing pool gate on one order, cut to the exact clearances a GTA lot actually has rather than a standard width, so the property gates to match instead of a stock gate forced into a narrow opening.

Common questions

It outlasts all of them. Wood splits and rots through Toronto's humid-summer, frozen-winter swing, iron rusts at the welds, composite and WPC turn brittle in a hard freeze, and vinyl cracks the same way. Powder-coated aluminum does none of it and holds its color without a repaint cycle.
It's the first thing we spec. A post set above the frost line gets heaved by freeze-thaw cycling every GTA winter regardless of material, so depth is set to your site and confirmed against your municipality's requirement, not a standard footing.
Height, gap spacing, and self-closing gate hardware requirements are set by your GTA municipality. Confirm the specifics locally before we finalize your layout.
Usually a different width, at minimum. Toronto rear laneways rarely run a standard clearance, so we size a sliding gate to the actual lane rather than a stock dimension, and match its finish to the front pedestrian gate on the same order.
