Whether you want to create a secluded backyard retreat or enhance your property’s curb appeal, custom fencing and decking options provide endless possibilities. In this blog, we’ll explore innovative designs, materials, and tips to help you craft the perfect outdoor space, keeping Winnipeg’s harsh winters and seasonal changes in mind.

Choosing the Right Fence for Privacy and Style

1. Wooden Privacy Fences

A classic and versatile choice, wood adds natural beauty but requires weather-resistant options like cedar or pressure-treated lumber. Popular styles include:

Board-on-Board: Overlapping boards ensure full privacy with a decorative touch.
Lattice-Topped: Solid panels combined with a lattice for partial visibility and elegance.
Horizontal Slat: A sleek, modern design that maintains privacy.

2. Metal and Composite Fences

Durable and low maintenance, these fences withstand Winnipeg’s extreme temperatures:

Aluminum & Wrought Iron: Rust-resistant (when treated) with a stylish, open feel.
Vinyl & Composite: Mimic wood while resisting harsh winters and humidity with minimal upkeep.

3. Living Fences for Natural Privacy

Greenery provides an eco-friendly privacy screen but requires winter-hardy plants:

Hedges & Shrubs: Cedar, lilac, and columnar spruces thrive in Winnipeg’s climate.
Bamboo: Requires winterization, as it struggles in extreme cold.
Adjustable louvered privacy screens: They are designed to provide adjustable shading, ventilation, and privacy while allowing you to control sunlight and airflow.
