Backyard projects in Ingersoll
Ingersoll's older streets have deep, narrow backyards behind century and mid-century homes. Those yards suit a ground-level deck off the back door, a long privacy fence down each side and a shed at the back of the lot.
Parts of town sit low near the Thames River. If your yard is in or near the floodplain, a deck, shed or fence there may also need sign-off from the Upper Thames River Conservation Authority, as well as the Town. A local contractor will know where that applies.
Permits in Ingersoll
Building permits in Ingersoll are issued by the Town of Ingersoll. A deck more than about 24 inches off the ground, a shed over 15 square metres and a roofed structure usually need one. Fences usually don't, but they must follow the fence by-law, and pool fences have their own rules. Read more in our permit guide.
