Custom Wood Fences for Midland & Georgian Bay Properties

A custom wood fence from Forty Five Scapes provides privacy, security, and a defined property boundary that enhances your Midland, Penetanguishene, or Georgian Bay landscape. Built with premium materials and engineered for Simcoe County's freeze-thaw cycles and heavy snow, our fences are designed to perform and look beautiful for years.

Privacy Fences for Residential Properties

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.

Built for Simcoe County Freeze-Thaw Cycles

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.

Cedar and Premium Wood Options

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.

Decorative and Property-Line Fencing

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.

Professional Fence Building Across Georgian Bay

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.

Fence Styles We Build

We offer a comprehensive range of fence styles to suit every property and purpose:

  • Board-on-board privacy fences -- Full privacy with no gaps, ideal for backyard enclosures and pool areas
  • Tongue-and-groove fences -- A premium privacy option with a clean, seamless appearance
  • Shadow-box fences -- Alternating board placement that provides privacy while allowing airflow, popular on Georgian Bay waterfront properties
  • Horizontal slat fences -- A modern design with clean lines that complement contemporary homes in Midland and Penetanguishene
  • Picket fences -- Classic decorative fencing for front yards and garden boundaries
  • Split-rail fences -- Rustic property-line markers for cottage and rural properties in Tiny and Tay Townships

Materials Built for Our Climate

We primarily build fences in two materials, each selected for its performance in Simcoe County:

  • Western red cedar -- Naturally rot-resistant, dimensionally stable, and beautiful. Cedar fences in our region last 15-20+ years with proper maintenance and complement other cedar features like cedar decks and pergolas.
  • Pressure-treated lumber -- Cost-effective and durable, ideal for utility fences, property-line boundaries, and projects where the fence will be painted or stained to match other structures.

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.

Custom Gates, Arbours, and Features

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.

Fencing as Part of Your Landscape

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.
