Every post is set below frost depth in concrete. This is the difference between a fence that stands straight in year ten and one that starts leaning in year three.
Post spacing, depth and concrete volume are set for Red River clay, not a generic spec. Clay moves sideways as well as up, and the post schedule accounts for both.
We confirm the property line and the allowable height for your yard at the site visit. City of Winnipeg limits differ between front and rear yards, and getting it wrong means taking it down.
Winnipeg yards are rarely flat. We step or rack the fence to follow grade cleanly instead of leaving gaps at the bottom or a wandering top rail.
Tyler is on every project. The person who walked your line and set your post depth is on site while the fence goes up.
Our warranty covers the build: post setting, framing, fastening and alignment. Wood is a natural material that weathers and moves, and we explain exactly what that means before you buy.
The post schedule is the engineering. Holes bored below frost depth, posts set plumb in concrete with the right volume for the load, and spacing tightened where a solid panel catches more wind. Corners and gate posts are treated differently because they carry far more.
Cedar is the premium choice. It sits straighter over time, weathers to a silver grey if you leave it, and takes stain well if you do not. Pressure treated costs less and performs honestly, provided it is fastened properly and given time to dry before any finish goes on.
You call or submit a form with your project scope and location. Tyler or a team member responds within one business day with questions and preliminary guidance. If it sounds like a fit, we move to a site visit.
Tyler walks the line with you, confirms the property boundary, checks grade changes and access, and reviews allowable height for your yard. Style, wood, gate locations and finish are discussed in person with samples available.
A detailed line-item proposal covers labour, posts, lumber, hardware and gates, with a layout showing the run and gate positions. Once approved, we lock in a confirmed start date and order materials.
Utility locates are called before anything is dug. Holes are bored below frost depth, posts set plumb in concrete, and the line strung and checked end to end before anything is fastened to them.
Rails and boards go on to the strung line, gates are hung and adjusted to swing true, and offcuts and spoil are cleared off site. Tyler walks the finished fence with you, explains the warranty and how the wood will behave over its first year.
