Is Tower Fence still family-owned?
That’s right – Tower Fence has remained Vancouver Island family-owned for nearly 50 years. Everything got started when Denis Madsen opened up a residential chain link and wooden fence company in 1976. His sons now contribute to the company’s growth and look forward to carrying on the business.
What type of fences do you build?
Tower Fence’s fence type catalogue has evolved over time, but we still do plenty of chain-link and wooden fences. These days, we also build concrete fences, beautiful ornamental fences, and custom fence projects. We even do modular lockers and mesh storage!

What makes Tower Fence different?
As the largest fence company on Vancouver Island, Tower Fence is able to service the entire island from Victoria to Port Hardy. We build all kinds of fencing (concrete, wood, ornamental, chain-link) on any kind of property. Plus, we’ve been family-owned since day 1.
How long do fences last?
The lifespan of your fence will depend mostly on the style and construction of fence. Metal fences are often the longest lasting fences, while wood tends to have a shorter lifespan. The key to extending the life of any fence is regular maintenance and cleaning.
When's the best time of year to install a fence?
The warmer months during Spring and Summer are the first choice for most homeowners and property owners, but that’s when availability can be a challenge. Installing a fence during the winter is the best way to avoid that rush. But Tower Fence is happy to install year-round.
Can you build mesh storage lockers?
Yes, Tower Fence can manufacture and install modular storage lockers made of welded wire mesh. This kind of storage system is commonly used in multi-family apartments and office buildings, as it’s an economical way to secure personal belongings. We use 10-gauge wire mesh with 2″ x 2″ openings, welded into a 1 1/4″ angle iron frame. And because they’re made in-house, we have the ability to offer completely custom sizes.
What is recreational fencing?
Recreational fencing is a category used to describe our specialized fencing for sports fields, courts, and other recreational spaces. We’ve built numerous baseball diamond backstops, dug out fences, and multi-use sport court fences over the years. Everything is custom – we can build custom fencing of all shapes and sizes.
