The Town of Creston does not have a specific bylaw that regulates the construction of fences, but recommends consideration of the following in your design.

• A fence must be entirely on or over your own private property.
• A fence must be constructed to withstand snow and wind loads, as well as everyday wear and tear.
• The following recommended heights should be given consideration:
  • Front...................................................4’ maximum

PLEASE NOTE:  If your property is a corner lot, Section 3.5.2 of the Town of Creston's Zoning Bylaw No. 1958, 2022 stipulates as follows:

3.5.2    Except in the Commercial - Downtown Core (CDC) Zone, no Fence, wall or Structure, other than a permitted Principal building or Accessory building shall be erected to a greater height than 1.1 metres so as to obstruct vision clearance in the area bounded by:

ii. The intersecting lot lines at a lane corner and a line joining points along said lot lines 3.0 metres from their point of intersection. A lane intersection shall include the intersection of a lane with any other lane or with a public street.
