Why Scarborough Homeowners Choose Our Pool Fences
Scarborough homeowners trust Aluminum Solutions for durable, maintenance-free railings. From the Bluffs to Agincourt, our products stand up to the elements and enhance curb appeal.
Scarborough's housing is dominated by 1950s–80s postwar bungalows, sidesplits, and backsplits — most with original wood porch railings and concrete steps that are now rotting, settling, or non-code-compliant. The replacement opportunity here is enormous. Multi-generational homes are common, particularly across Agincourt and Wexford, which drives demand for accessibility-conscious railing details: continuous handrails on porch steps, lower glass infill that doesn't block sightlines from inside, and second-floor balcony guards for in-law suites. Bluffs-adjacent properties (Guildwood, the Bluffs proper) face genuine cliff-edge structural considerations and lake-effect wind exposure that's stronger than most clients expect.
Scarborough Building Code Notes
Scarborough falls under the City of Toronto Building Division and follows Toronto-wide bylaws. Permit requirements for like-for-like railing replacement are minimal, but any change in height, structural anchoring, or new pool fencing requires a permit. Toronto building inspectors are notably strict on the 1070mm (42") guard height when a deck or porch is more than 5'11" off grade — many older Scarborough porches with original 36" railings fail current code on replacement. Pool enclosure bylaws require 1.2m (48") fence height with self-closing/self-latching gates citywide.

Pool Fences in Scarborough — Common Questions
My Scarborough bungalow has original 1970s wood railings — do I need a permit to replace them?
If you're replacing like-for-like (same height, same structural attachment), no permit is typically required in Toronto. But almost every original 1970s railing in Scarborough is 36" tall, and current OBC requires 1070mm (42") on any deck or porch more than 5'11" off grade. If your existing railing fails that height test, you're doing a code upgrade that the inspector will want documented. We handle the height assessment and the inspector-ready paperwork during the quote.
Can you install an accessibility-friendly railing on my front porch?
Yes — this is one of our most common Scarborough requests. We install continuous handrails (graspable round profile, 38mm diameter) along stair runs, extend handrails 300mm past the top and bottom risers as code requires, and can match the aluminum profile to your existing railing system. For multi-generational homes, we often pair aluminum picket porch railings with a separate stair handrail for grip while keeping the visual line clean.
We're near the Bluffs — does erosion or setback affect what we can build?
Properties within the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) regulated area near the Bluffs may need TRCA review for any new structural railing close to the slope edge. Replacing existing railings in their current footprint typically doesn't trigger this. We can confirm your property's regulated-area status before quoting and prepare TRCA-acceptable engineering documentation when required.
