Most decks fail because
of what's below.

Manitoba's frost line sits 4 to 5 feet deep. A deck with footings that don't reach below it will heave every spring, pulling away from the house, cracking boards, and eventually becoming a safety hazard. Most failed decks we see were built by contractors who cut corners on footing depth.

Champion MB drills every footing to the correct depth, uses proper concrete tube forms, and installs post bases that allow for drainage. The result is a deck that stays level, stays attached, and stays beautiful for 20+ years.

What We Build

Decks, fences & more.

/ 01

Pressure-Treated Wood Decks

Engineered for Manitoba's freeze-thaw cycles. #1 grade pressure-treated lumber with proper post footings set below the frost line — typically 4 to 5 feet deep — so your deck never heaves, shifts, or separates from the house.

/ 02

Composite & PVC Decking

Low-maintenance composite boards from Trex, TimberTech, and Fiberon that won't rot, splinter, or fade. Ideal for Manitoba homeowners who want a beautiful deck without annual staining or sealing.

/ 03

Multi-Level & Wraparound Decks

Custom multi-level designs that follow your home's architecture and yard grade. We handle all framing, ledger attachment, and structural engineering so the finished deck is as solid as the house it's attached to.

/ 04

Cable & Glass Railing Systems

Modern cable railing with black powder-coated steel posts preserves your view while meeting Manitoba building code height and load requirements. Glass panel railings available for a sleek, unobstructed look.

/ 05

Built-In Benches & Planters

Integrated bench seating, planter boxes, and storage benches built from matching materials. These details elevate a deck from a platform to an outdoor living room — and they're engineered to last.

/ 06

Deck Lighting & Electrical

Recessed step lighting, post cap lights, and under-rail LED strips wired to a weatherproof exterior outlet. We coordinate with a licensed electrician so your deck is fully functional after dark.

/ 01

Cedar Privacy Fences

Western red cedar is the gold standard for Manitoba fences — naturally rot-resistant, dimensionally stable, and beautiful. Board-on-board, dog-ear, and flat-top styles with posts set in concrete below the frost line.

/ 02

Pressure-Treated Pine Fences

Cost-effective and durable alternative to cedar. Ideal for large perimeter fencing where budget matters. Properly installed with galvanized hardware for long-term corrosion resistance.

/ 03

Vinyl & Composite Fencing

Zero-maintenance vinyl and composite fencing that never needs painting, staining, or sealing. Privacy, picket, and ranch rail styles. Engineered for Manitoba's UV exposure and temperature extremes.

/ 04

Decorative & Ornamental Fences

Aluminum and steel ornamental fencing for front yards, gardens, and property boundaries. Powder-coated finishes resist rust and UV fade. Custom heights and post spacing to match your home's architectural style.

/ 05

Gates & Hardware

Custom-built gates with heavy-duty hinges, self-closing mechanisms, and lockable latches. Single and double-swing, sliding, and arched gate styles. We build gates that actually stay square over time.

/ 06

Fence Repairs & Replacements

Post replacement, board replacement, and full section rebuilds. We assess whether your existing fence can be repaired cost-effectively or whether a full replacement makes more sense — and we give you an honest answer.

How It Works

Our Build Process.

01

Site Assessment & Design

We visit your property to assess the grade, soil conditions, existing structures, and your vision. We check setback requirements with your municipality and design a structure that maximizes your outdoor space.

02

Permit & Material Sourcing

Decks over a certain height and size require a building permit in most Manitoba municipalities. We handle all permit applications, drawings, and approvals before a single board is cut. Materials are sourced from trusted local suppliers.

03

Foundation & Framing

Footings are drilled and poured below the frost line. Posts, beams, and joists are installed to code with proper spacing, hardware, and ledger attachment. The structure is inspected before decking begins.

04

Decking, Railing & Finishing

Boards are laid with proper spacing for drainage and expansion. Railing systems are installed to code height and load requirements. We complete all trim, fascia, and finishing details before final inspection and handover.

Common Questions

Deck & Fence FAQs.

Most municipalities in Manitoba require a building permit for decks that are attached to the house, over 24 inches above grade, or over a certain square footage (typically 108 sq ft). We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service — you don't need to deal with the city yourself.
In Manitoba, deck footings must be set below the frost line, which is typically 4 to 5 feet deep depending on your municipality. Footings that are too shallow will heave in spring and can cause the entire deck to shift, separate from the house, or become unsafe. We never cut corners on footing depth.
Composite decking (Trex, TimberTech) is the best long-term choice for Manitoba. It handles freeze-thaw cycles without warping, doesn't require annual staining, and looks great for decades. Pressure-treated wood is a solid budget option if you're willing to stain it every 2–3 years. We don't recommend untreated wood or low-grade composite for Manitoba's climate.
A basic pressure-treated deck typically starts around $8,000–$15,000 for a standard size. Composite decking, multi-level designs, cable railing, and built-in features add to the cost. A detailed written quote is provided before any work begins — no surprises.
A standard single-level deck typically takes 3–7 days from start to finish once materials are on site. Multi-level decks, large projects, or those requiring significant permit review may take longer. We give you a realistic timeline upfront and stick to it.
Cedar and vinyl fences consistently outperform other materials in Manitoba's climate. Cedar is naturally rot-resistant and handles temperature swings well. Vinyl never rots, warps, or needs painting. Both will last 20–30+ years with proper installation. The most important factor is post installation — posts set in concrete below the frost line will never heave.
