Fencing is not a specifically licensed trade in Quebec. No specific provincial licence is required. However, most municipalities require a permit for new fence installations, and fence height and setback bylaws vary by municipality. Swimming pool fencing has specific requirements under Quebec regulations (Regulation respecting safety in swimming pools). Pool enclosures must meet minimum height requirements and include self-closing, self-latching gates. Contractors performing fencing as part of larger construction projects may need an RBQ licence. Property surveys are recommended before fence installation.
