Built to Survive the Winter

In Quebec, the ground moves. Freeze-thaw cycles can push standard fence posts out of alignment in just a few seasons.

At Les Clôtures Duratech, we specialize in Frost Fencing installation designed specifically for the South Shore and Montérégie climate. We don't just dig holes; we install deep, concrete-anchored posts that resist frost heave, ensuring your property line stays straight and secure for decades.

Where to Use Frost Fencing

Residential Boundaries

The most cost-effective way to secure your backyard and mark property lines.

Pool Enclosures

Meets all safety regulations for pool access control while maintaining visibility.

Pet & Children Safety

Durable mesh that keeps loved ones in and intruders out.

Commercial Perimeters

High-security options for businesses requiring robust, long-lasting barriers.

Why "Frost" Fencing is the Quebec Standard

Deep-Post Installation

We drill deep to bypass the active frost layer, anchoring your fence in stable ground.

Maintenance-Free

Galvanized or vinyl-coated mesh (available in black, green, white, or galvanized) resists rust and corrosion.

Privacy Options

Easily upgradable with frost fence privacy slats (Lattes). This allows you to block sightlines and increase privacy without replacing the entire fence structure.

Versatile Terrain

Can be installed on uneven terrain, slopes, rocky soil, and waterfront lots where other fences fail.

Is Frost Fencing Right for You?

Yes, if:

  • You want the best ROI (Return on Investment) - low upfront cost with maximum lifespan.
  • You live in an area with clay or wet soil (common in South Shore) that is prone to heavy shifting in winter.
  • You need a fence that blends in (especially black frost fence) rather than blocking the view.
  • You need a pool fence that creates a safe barrier without making the yard feel small.

Our Installation Process

We value transparency and durability. Here is how we manage your project:
1.
Request a Quote: Submit your details online or call us.
2.
Site Measurement: Our specialist visits your property to take precise measurements and plan the layout.
3.
Safety First (Info-Excavation): We submit the necessary documents to Info-Excavation to locate underground lines. You (the client) simply need to obtain the permit from your municipality.
4.
Drilling & Concrete: We drill the post holes and pour the concrete.
5.
Curing Phase: We allow the concrete to cure for 14 days. This ensures the posts are solid before we apply tension.
6.
Installation: We return to install the mesh and components.
7.
Final Walkthrough: We review the work with you to ensure total satisfaction.

What Our Clients Say

“Post drilling and the concrete work were done as planned. The curing period was explained, and the installation resumed after that.”
“Communication was consistent throughout. Questions were answered quickly, and any changes were confirmed before moving forward.”

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

In Quebec, the terms are often used interchangeably. However, a true "Frost" installation refers to the heavy-duty method tailored for our climate - using specific post depths and concrete anchoring to prevent frost heave. We use a premium "Frost" brand or equivalent high-grade mesh.
How much does Frost fencing cost in South Shore Montreal?
Price depends on linear footage, the number of gates, and the height (usually 4', 5', or 6'). Frost fencing is generally more affordable than wood or ornamental steel. Contact us for a precise price per foot.
Can I add privacy later?
Absolutely. One of the biggest advantages of this system is that you can add Privacy Slats (Lattes) immediately or years later. They slide vertically into the mesh to provide near-total privacy.
Why do you wait 14 days to install the mesh?
If we stretch the wire mesh before the concrete is fully cured, the tension can pull the posts out of alignment. Waiting 14 days guarantees a straight fence that lasts.
Do you handle the permits?
We handle the safety side by submitting documents to Info-Excavation. However, you must obtain the necessary construction permit from your municipality to ensure your fence installation is legal and compliant.
What materials are used for frost fencing?
We use frost-resistant metal fencing systems built to withstand freeze-thaw cycles. These are available in various styles, including the popular black frost fence option.
How long does frost fence installation take?
The timeline depends on site conditions and the frost fence installation schedule. The posts are installed with concrete and typically need 14 days to cure before final installation. A site visit is used to assess conditions and provide a realistic timeline.
