PrimeAlux supplies six vinyl fence styles to Calgary, in white, brown and grey woodgrain.
Every style comes in white, brown and grey woodgrain, and all of it is Canadian-made. You order the materials from PrimeAlux, and the Calgary contractor or installer building your fence works from your order. Buyers also call this product PVC fencing, because vinyl is PVC. The main vinyl fence page describes each style.

Calgary allows a fence up to 1.2 m in the front portion of a lot and up to 2.0 m everywhere else.
Under Land Use Bylaw 1P2007, the 1.2 m limit applies from the front of the house to the front property line. Behind that line the limit is 2.0 m.
A gate may reach 2.5 m at its highest point, provided it is not more than 2.5 m long.
The City says most fences do not need a building permit. A fence that goes past the bylaw limits needs a development permit, and a fence inside a corner visibility triangle is held to 0.75 m (2 ft 6 in).
For the full rules, including how height is measured, read our Calgary fence height guide. Confirm the current rules with the City before you order.

Match the style to the part of the lot, since the front portion and the rest of the lot have different height limits.
In the front portion, where 1.2 m is the limit, picket and ranch rail are the natural choices. Along the back and sides, a privacy or semi-privacy fence can go up to 2.0 m. If your lot sits on a corner, ask the City for the dimensions of the visibility triangle before you place any fence near the intersection.
Write down the length of every run and the width of every gate opening. Add the colour, and note which runs are in the front portion of the lot.
