Manotick: Stability
for Riverfront Living
The Challenge: Moisture and Soil Grip
Manotick is the jewel of the Rideau, but its proximity to the water brings a unique set of soil conditions, from sandy loam to high water tables.
Properties near the river or in the Long Island area often deal with "softer" ground.
The Risk: Unlike clay or rock, sandy soil offers less "friction" to hold a concrete footing in place. High water tables can also cause wood posts to rot prematurely from the bottom up.
The FMS Standard: We recommend oversized, bell-bottom concrete footings to provide the necessary "ballast" to keep your fence anchored in the river valley soil.
Top Fencing Picks for Manotick
TITAN WPC (Wood Plastic Composite)
Manotick homes demand a natural, high-end look that complements the lush landscape.
-
The Advantage: Our Titan WPC gives you the organic look of cedar or ipe but is completely impervious to the moisture levels found near the Rideau River. It won't rot, mold, or twist.
-
The Tech: The tongue and groove design ensures that your boards stay perfectly aligned, providing 100% privacy for your backyard retreat.
TITAN PVC Privacy Fences
For a clean, classic "estate" look, our premium white or tan PVC is a Manotick favourite.
The Design: Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) and ASA co-extrusion ensure your fence stays crisp and vibrant despite the heavy sun exposure common on large, open waterfront lots. PVC boards are also available in the aluminum Hybrid style.
