No rust, no rot

Aluminum does not absorb moisture, so freeze-thaw cycles do not crack or warp it. There is no wood to rot and no steel to rust.

Low upkeep

Slats need only an occasional rinse to stay clean. The PrimeAlux limited warranty asks for documented cleaning twice per year, following the PrimeAlux cleaning instructions.

Finish

Panels carry a UV-resistant 3-layer and powder coating, so there is nothing to paint or stain.

Recycled content

PrimeAlux panels contain up to 70% recycled aluminum content.

Markham: Fence Rules, Weather and Delivery

These points come from the City of Markham and Environment and Climate Change Canada. Rules change, so confirm with the City before you order.

Fence height depends on the yard

Fence By-law 277-97 sets 1.2 m (4 ft) in the front yard, 1.8 m (6 ft) in an interior side yard, 1.2 m (4 ft) in the exterior side yard of a corner lot, and 1.8 m (6 ft) in the rear yard. Gates may go up to 30 cm over those limits, an archway forming part of an entrance may reach 2.4 m, and decorative caps on structural posts may add up to 15 cm.

Rear yard: solid panel or open lattice

The 1.8 m (6 ft) rear-yard limit comes with a construction rule. A rear-yard fence may have up to 1.8 m of open lattice work, or up to 1.52 m (5 ft) of solid panel measured from the ground, with up to 0.3 m (1 ft) of open lattice work at the top. Because open and solid designs are treated differently, ask the City how it would classify the panel style you plan to use.

The posted by-law text dates from 2012

The City’s fences page still names By-law 277-97 as its fence by-law, but the text posted with it is a consolidation made for convenience only, up to May 29, 2012. Confirm the current wording with the City before you order. Neither the page nor the by-law text states whether an ordinary fence needs a permit, so ask. A swimming pool enclosure permit is required before work begins: the page cites a 1.2 m (4 ft) fence where the water can exceed 0.6 m (24 in) in depth, under Swimming Pools By-law 2015-96.

Cornell Centre on the eastern edge

Cornell Centre sits on the eastern edge of the City’s urban area and covers about 244 hectares. The City envisions it as a residential and mixed-use key development area, and its engagement page, last updated May 19, 2026, says a secondary plan update is in progress. Confirm with the City which rules apply to a lot in a newly planned area.

Aluminum Fence in Markham: FAQ

How tall can a fence be in Markham?

Under Fence By-law 277-97 the limit is 1.2 m (4 ft) in the front yard and in the exterior side yard of a corner lot, and 1.8 m (6 ft) in an interior side yard and the rear yard. In a rear yard, a solid panel is limited to 1.52 m (5 ft) with 0.3 m (1 ft) of open lattice work on top, while open lattice work may reach 1.8 m. An owner can apply to the City for an exemption from the height limits. The by-law text we read is a 2012 consolidation, so confirm the current wording with the City.

Do I need a permit for a fence in Markham?

The City’s fences page and By-law 277-97 do not state a permit requirement for an ordinary fence, and we could not verify whether one exists, so confirm with the City. A swimming pool enclosure does need a permit before work begins. PrimeAlux does not install fences.

How much maintenance does an aluminum fence need?

Slats need only an occasional rinse to stay clean. There is no painting, staining or sanding. The warranty does ask for documented cleaning twice per year, following the PrimeAlux cleaning instructions.

What does the PrimeAlux warranty cover?

The PrimeAlux limited warranty lists 20 years for aluminum metal, 15 years for coated aluminum fence and 10 years for powder coated aluminum extrusion profile, and requires the fence system to be cleaned twice per year following PrimeAlux cleaning instructions. Our warranty and care guide explains what the documents say.

Has the fence been tested?

Each test report names what was tested, and the results apply to those specimens only. The ASTM E84 fire report covers the PrimeAlux Privacy Slat fence system: flame spread index 0 and smoke developed index 50. The ASTM E90 acoustic report covers the PrimeAlux Horizontal Privacy Plus 6'W x 6'H: STC 22 and OITC 19.

Do you ship across Canada, and can I visit?

PrimeAlux was established in 2019 and serves all of Canada and the US. Delivery options, dates and fees are confirmed by our sales team. The showroom is at 2222 South Sheridan Way, Unit 116, Mississauga, ON, open Monday to Friday, 10 AM to 5 PM.
