A fence is the first thing people see when they approach your property. A pergola changes how you experience your own backyard. These aren't background features — they set the tone for everything around them. We design and build custom fencing, pergolas, gazebos, and outdoor structures using cedar, aluminum, steel, composite, and mixed materials. Every project starts with your vision, gets refined through our design process, and is built by a crew that understands joinery, material behavior, and the reality of BC weather. We don't install off-the-shelf panels and call it done. We build structures that match your home's architecture, solve your privacy or grade challenges, and hold up through years of rain, wind, and sun without sagging, warping, or fading. If you can draw it — on paper, on a napkin, on your phone — we can build it.
Western red cedar is the gold standard for fencing in BC — naturally rot-resistant, dimensionally stable, and ages beautifully. We build privacy fences, semi-privacy, horizontal slat, board-on-board, and mixed-material designs. Every post is set in concrete, every rail is level, and every board is hand-selected for grain and quality.
Powder-coated aluminum and steel fencing that will never rust, peel, or require repainting. Modern, clean lines with zero maintenance. Ideal for front yards, pool enclosures, and properties where visibility matters as much as security.
Shade structures, rain covers, attached or freestanding — designed for how you actually use your outdoor space. Cedar, pressure-treated, or steel framing with optional polycarbonate or fabric canopy. We handle footings, posts, beams, and finishing so the structure is solid, permitted, and beautiful from day one.
Decorative privacy screens, vine supports, and garden dividers built to last. Custom dimensions, cedar or composite materials, and designs that add depth and texture to fences, decks, and garden spaces without closing them off entirely.
Gates, arbours, planters, benches, mixed-material feature walls — if you can describe it, we can build it. We combine wood, metal, stone, and composite to create one-of-a-kind structures that don't exist in any catalog. This is where RainCity's craft shows most.
Design-build under one roof. We don't hand off your project to a subcontracted install crew — the team that designs your fence is the team that builds it.
Material expertise for BC conditions. We know which cedar grades resist splitting, which coatings hold up in coastal moisture, and which fasteners won't streak rust down your new panels.
Permit navigation included. If your pergola or fence requires a building permit, we handle the application and ensure the build meets municipal code.
Every fence is plumb, level, and square. No exceptions. We check with laser levels and string lines because your eye will notice what a bubble level misses.
Western red cedar is the most popular choice for the Lower Mainland — it's naturally resistant to rot and insects, handles moisture well, and weathers to a beautiful silver-grey if left unstained. For zero-maintenance, powder-coated aluminum is excellent. We'll walk your property and recommend the best material based on your exposure, soil, and style preferences.
In most Lower Mainland municipalities, pergolas over 10 square metres (about 108 sq ft) or attached to your home require a building permit. Detached pergolas under that size are often exempt, but setback rules still apply. We check your local bylaws during the consultation and handle permit applications when required — no surprises mid-build.
A typical residential fence (50 to 80 linear feet) takes 2 to 4 days from post setting to final cap. Larger properties or complex designs with gates, mixed materials, or grade changes may take up to a week. Posts need 24 to 48 hours for concrete to cure before we hang rails and boards, so we plan around that in our scheduling.
We design and install custom fencing, pergolas, and outdoor structures across Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey, New Westminster, and 11 more Lower Mainland cities. From Vancouver to Surrey to Burnaby — and everywhere between.
