Construction Guides

The Municipality of Trent Lakes has put together construction guides to help you with your construction projects. View each of our guides for more information.  Please visit our Building Permit for information on how to apply for a permit using Cloudpermit

Deck Design Guide

Are you looking to add a deck to your property? Our Deck Design Guide provides definitions, sample drawings, construction details, and guard information to help you get started. All decks and porches must meet the Zoning requirements for your property and depending on the size and type of deck, you may need to apply for a building permit. 

Trailer Park Design Guide

We have revised our Trailer Park Design Guide for the 2022 season.  We have updated footing requirements and stair run length.   The Municipality is also reviewing lot coverage, the maximum allowable lot coverage per site is 24 %, please indicate this on your site plan when applying for a permit.

If you are applying for an add-a-room permit, the minimum footing size that will be accepted will be 2 x 24"x24"x 3.5" footing with the appropriate sized saddle & post.  The footing type can either be a pre-cast cottage pad, or a poured footing.  Please check with your local park if you are able to pour concrete on your site.
