Fence Gates for $700 in Toronto
This homeowner from Toronto had fence gates installed by The Handy MacGyvers. A fence gate essentially acts as a ‘front door’ for your backyard. Without a gate, your backyard is open for anyone to walk in and out of. Having a fence gate installed adds an extra sense of security to your home. Plus, if you have young children or pets running around, you won’t need to worry about them running onto the street.
This family chose to go with wood fence gates. Wood is a very durable material and it can also be stained or painted any colour. Natural wood also matches almost anything on its own so it’s up to you if you wish to stain or paint it. Wood is also resistant to rot and will weather naturally which makes it longstanding.

This family decided to add an accented piece that matches the gate’s handles. The simple design can help to add curb appeal to your home’s property. Fence gates can typically be seen from the road, so adding an extra flair to the gate can help to draw attention to your home’s overall aesthetic.
Fencing for $10,000 in Toronto
Peel Fence Systems Inc completed multiple fencing projects for this homeowner in Toronto. This project included the installation of multiple fence gates, a property fence, a balcony fence, as well as a fence surrounding a pool. This homeowner decided to go with an aluminum material and with an open design with spaced pickets. Unlike the privacy gates above, this style of fencing is more open and decorative (as you can see from the photos). This style of fence is great for situations where you might need more visibility. In this case, they had this fence installed around their swimming pool. This is a common fencing project and helps to protect young children or pets from falling into the pool while not paying attention.
This fence material requires minimal maintenance and adds to your curb appeal with its decorative touch. Aluminum is a strong and durable material, allowing this fence to last a lifetime. It does however lack in privacy and security compared to a wooden fence.
