About Us
Your Local, Hands-On Fencing Crew
We do one thing, install fences built for Manitoba’s climate – and we do it with our own hands.
Our Story
Who We Are
Shorty’s Fencing is a Winnipeg-based fence installation company. We do one thing: install fences. No landscaping, no decking, no siding — fencing only. That focus means our crew is experienced, our processes are tight, and our quotes are honest.
We work directly with homeowners across Winnipeg and surrounding communities. Every project is handled by our own team — no subcontracting, no job site hand-offs. When we quote your project, you’re getting the people who will actually show up and do the work.
We’re a small operation and we plan to keep it that way. Smaller means accountable. Smaller means the owner is reachable. Smaller means we don’t take on more work than we can do well.
Our Approach
How We Work
A few core principles drive every decision we make on your project.
01
Posts Below the Frost Line
Manitoba’s freeze-thaw cycles are the number one cause of fence failure. We set posts below the frost line without concrete under standard conditions. Concrete absorbs moisture, freezes, and can push posts upward. Our method is better for Winnipeg’s soil — and the fence stands straighter, longer.
02
Simple, Proven Fence Types
We install chain link, wood, welded wire, and ornamental metal — the four fence types that consistently perform in our climate. We don’t chase trends or install products we don’t believe in. If something isn’t right for Winnipeg, we won’t carry it. Straightforward advice on what will actually work on your lot.
03
No Upselling
We quote what you need, not what generates the most margin. If a standard chain link fence serves your purpose, that’s what we’ll recommend — not an ornamental upgrade you don’t need. Our goal is a fence that fits your lot, your budget, and your use case. We’d rather earn repeat business and referrals than squeeze a single job.
Our Own Crew
No subcontracting. Every job is handled by our own Winnipeg team, start to finish.
1-Year Warranty
All workmanship backed by our one-year warranty. If something’s wrong with the installation, we’ll fix it.
