With ongoing changes in global trade and the cost of importing materials rising, homeowners in Winnipeg are starting to ask: Will tariffs affect the cost of my new fence?
The short answer? It depends on where your materials are coming from.
How Tariffs Impact Fence Pricing
Tariffs are taxes or duties placed on imported goods. When tariffs go up, it becomes more expensive to bring certain products—like lumber, steel, or fasteners—into Canada.
That increase often gets passed down the supply chain, eventually landing in the homeowner's quote.
If a fencing contractor sources materials from outside Canada, there's a good chance those price hikes will show up in your estimate.
But here's the good news.
