Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about fence installation in Winnipeg
Fence installation typically ranges from $10,000 – $45,000. Price varies depending on project size, fence type, length, materials, and site conditions. We provide free detailed quotes for all projects.
Most standard residential fences (6 feet and under) don’t require a permit in Winnipeg. However, special cases such as corner lots or fences near sidewalks may need approval. We’ll help you determine permit requirements for your specific situation.
Fence posts must be at least 3 feet (91 cm) deep to ensure they’re below the frost line. We typically dig 4 feet deep for added stability, especially for privacy fences that catch more wind. All posts are set in concrete for maximum durability.
A typical backyard fence (150-200 linear feet) usually takes 2-3 days to complete. This includes post setting, allowing concrete to cure, and installing panels or boards. Larger or more complex projects may take longer.
Vinyl and pressure-treated wood are the most popular choices. Vinyl requires zero maintenance but has a higher upfront cost. Pressure-treated wood is economical and performs well with regular maintenance (staining every 2-3 years).
Yes! We provide complete old fence removal services. This can be included in your installation quote or quoted separately. We properly dispose of all materials and ensure the site is ready for your new fence.
In residential areas, backyard fences can typically be up to 6 feet tall, while front yard fences are limited to 4 feet. Corner lot properties may have additional restrictions. We ensure all installations comply with City of Winnipeg bylaws.
Vinyl fences require no maintenance. Wood fences benefit from cleaning and staining every 2-3 years. Check posts annually for stability after freeze-thaw cycles. Clear snow away from fence bases to prevent moisture damage.
