What the 2023 Okanagan Wildfires Taught Us About Fencing: A Kelowna and West Kelowna Property Guide
The 2023 McDougall Creek wildfire destroyed more than 300 structures in West Kelowna and produced research that changed how BC FireSmart approaches fencing regulations. The finding was direct: flammable materials within 10 metres of structures, including wood fences, were linked to whether a structure survived. Fencing management was named as a priority for non-combustible zone creation. This post covers what that research means for Okanagan property owners replacing fencing in 2026, which BarrierBoss FireSmart systems meet BC Zone 1 requirements, what grant funding is available in West Kelowna, and what properties outside the interface zone actually need. Manufactured in West Kelowna. BARRIERDIRECT delivery throughout the Okanagan.

Metal Fencing in Canada: The Complete 2026 Buyer's Guide for Every Province
Canada is one of the hardest countries on the planet to buy a fence for. Okanagan wildfires, Vancouver salt air, Calgary freeze-thaw cycles, and Atlantic coastal storms each destroy conventional fencing in their own distinct way. This guide covers every BarrierBoss metal fencing system available in Canada in 2026, leads with a province-by-province buying guide so you find the right product for your specific region, and breaks down why the 30-year ownership numbers make wood replacement look like a very expensive hobby. Flat $50 delivery to all provinces and territories. No import tariffs. Canadian-made from West Kelowna, BC.
Let customers speak for us
Excellent quality hog panels. The delivery, however, took over 3 weeks to leave the warehouse after I was told it would leave in the next couple of days when I was placing the order. Communication from the company was poor and the tracking took the driver right past Vancouver and then all over Vancouver Island before returning to Vancouver to drop off my order. My client was extremely upset with me as a result of the delay. If you're planning well ahead of time and delivery lead-time or communication isn't a concern for you, the product itself is quite good.
Looks really nice and sturdy, I haven’t used it yet as it is for a fence that will be built in the spring.
Very happy with the product - we bought fence panels and posts. Fence looks really good. Lauren was so helpful with our order.
I love the colour & look.
Really great fence panels! Beautiful cedar wood and the metal mesh is very strong and looks great.
Exceptional quality, very well made, very sturdy and beautiful!
Nice finishing touch on the posts.
We are extremely happy with our new privacy fences
The wire use for this fencing is thick and sturdy. Also, the fencing material is well coated to stand up to the elements. Not only is the fencing material well made, but the support you get from the customer service department is outstanding. They promptly answer emails, and they keep you informed about the delivery. Barrier Boss is an outstanding company!
Great product and service
Barrier Boss products are well made. Our initial order for 3 x standard panels took forever (as they warned us) but when we ordered the remaining custom panels, it was super quick. It was great to deal with Leo. I liked thst they bring their pets to work :-)
Super pleased with product and delivery staff!
Can use for many purposes and very secure and strong! Love it!!!
free Delivery even in a remote location. Every piece of treated wood was great quality better than the local lumberyard. Metal was in great condition and customer service couldn’t have been better. Definitely use again and recommend to others
Excellent product! Outstanding Delivery!
