Climate Considerations in Minnesota

Harsh winters (-20°F+): Limited building season; materials must handle extreme cold. Heavy snowfall (40-100"+): Fence durability critical; roof snow load important. Ice dams: Major roofing concern; proper ventilation essential. Freeze-thaw cycles: Driveway heaving; fence post depth matters. Short summer: Compressed scheduling; May-September optimal. Recommended fence materials: Vinyl handles freeze-thaw excellently (no rot, no expansion); Cedar naturally weather-resistant; Chain link with vinyl coating prevents rust.
