When it comes to enhancing your home in Winnipeg, few investments strike the perfect balance of beauty, durability, and value like a wood fence.

At A+ Fences, we specialize in crafting custom wood fences tailored to Manitoba’s unique climate and your personal style.


Here’s why a wood fence is the ideal choice for Winnipeg homeowners—and how our expertise ensures your fence stands strong for years to come.


1. Built to Last: How Wood Fences Withstand Manitoba’s Harsh Winters

Winnipeg winters can be harsh and unforgiving. Whether you’ve lived in Winnipeg for a couple of years or for your entire life, you probably know what I’m talking about. From heavy snowfall to freezing temperatures, your fence needs to endure it all.

Here’s why Wood is up to the task:

  • Material Matters: High-quality wood fences naturally resist moisture, rot, and insect damage, making them ideal for Manitoba’s climate.

  • Frost-Proof Installation: Improperly set posts can shift due to frost heave. A+ Fences uses deep-post installation techniques (below the frost line & filled with gravel) to ensure stability and durability in Winnipeg summers & winters.

  • Sturdy & Secure Perimeter: Wood fences provide a robust barrier against intruders and wildlife. This helps ensure the perimeter to your home is secure and gives you peace of mind.


2. Custom Designs to Match Your Winnipeg Home’s Personality

A wood fence isn’t just functional—it’s an extension of your home’s character.

At A+ Fences, we specialize in custom wood fence designs that reflect your taste:

  • Fence Build Styles: Do you prefer a horizontal build or a vertical build? We are able to create high-quality fences that match your vision & enhance your home’s visual appeal.

  • Sliding Gates: Perfect for narrow yards in neighbourhoods like St. James or River Heights, our sliding gates save space without sacrificing style.


3. Cost vs. Value: Why Wood Outshines Vinyl & Chain-Link

While vinyl and chain-link fences may seem budget-friendly upfront, wood offers unmatched long-term value:

  • Affordable Upfront Cost: Wood fences are typically 30–50% cheaper than vinyl, with more design flexibility.

  • Durability Pays Off: A well-maintained wood fence lasts 15–20+ years. Compare that to vinyl, which can crack in extreme cold, or chain-link, which rusts and lacks privacy.

  • Boost Property Value: Realtors agree—wood fences enhance resale value by adding curb appeal and defining outdoor living spaces.
