Privacy is a top priority for homeowners across Midland, Penetanguishene, and the surrounding townships. Our custom privacy fences use board-on-board, tongue-and-groove, and solid-panel designs in Western red cedar and pressure-treated lumber to create a complete visual barrier. We design fence heights, setbacks, and styles that comply with local municipal bylaws while maximizing your usable outdoor space. A privacy fence pairs perfectly with a custom deck, patio, or pool area for a secluded backyard retreat.

Fences in our region face punishing conditions -- ground heave from freeze-thaw cycles, heavy wet snow pushing against panels, and constant moisture from Georgian Bay. We set fence posts below the frost line and use properly graded gravel backfill to prevent heaving. All structural connections use corrosion-resistant fasteners, and we select wood species and treatments rated for ground contact in our soil conditions. The result is a fence that stays straight, plumb, and secure through Simcoe County winters.
Western red cedar is our most popular fencing material in the Georgian Bay area for its natural rot resistance, warm appearance, and ability to accept stains or weather to an attractive silver-grey. We also build fences in pressure-treated lumber for budget-conscious projects and offer premium options with custom cap rails, lattice toppers, and decorative post caps. Our custom carpentry team can incorporate matching gates, arbour entries, and integrated landscape lighting for a finished, cohesive look.
Beyond privacy, we build decorative fences, split-rail boundaries, and property-line fences that define your outdoor spaces while maintaining open sightlines. For waterfront properties on Georgian Bay, decorative fencing can frame garden areas, separate planting zones, or create transitions between the manicured landscape and the natural shoreline. We coordinate fence designs with your broader landscape design to ensure every element works together.

At Forty Five Scapes, we design and build custom wood fences for residential and cottage properties across Midland, Penetanguishene, Tiny Township, Tay Township, and the Georgian Bay waterfront. Whether you need privacy for your backyard, security around a pool, a decorative boundary for your garden, or a windbreak on an exposed lakefront lot, our team delivers fencing that is built to last in Simcoe County's demanding climate.
Every fence project begins with a site assessment that evaluates property lines, grade changes, soil conditions, and your specific goals for the fence. We handle all aspects of the project, from design and material selection through to installation and finishing.
We offer a comprehensive range of fence styles to suit every property and purpose:
We primarily build fences in two materials, each selected for its performance in Simcoe County:
All posts are set below the frost line with gravel drainage to prevent heaving. We use stainless steel or hot-dipped galvanized fasteners throughout to prevent corrosion from Georgian Bay moisture.
A fence is only as good as its gates and details. Our custom carpentry team builds matching gates with heavy-duty hardware, self-closing hinges for pool compliance, and adjustable latches. We also create arbour entries, lattice toppers, decorative post caps, and integrated planter boxes that elevate a standard fence into a landscape feature.
We frequently install fences as part of a larger landscape project. Fences integrate naturally with patio installations, deck builds, foundation plantings, and landscape lighting to create a private, cohesive outdoor living space. On waterfront properties, fences coordinate with retaining walls, stone walkways, and shoreline restoration work.
Our design-build process ensures your fence is planned alongside every other landscape element for a unified property transformation.
