Trusted Fence Company in Shorewood, MN
Shorewood sits on some of the most desirable land around Lake Minnetonka, and fence projects here come with their own demands: clean lakeshore sightlines, careful work around mature trees, and yards that slope toward the water. That’s why homeowners here look for a professional fence company that works with the terrain, not around it. We’re Compass Fence Co., a family-run crew based in Lino Lakes that installs chain link, vinyl privacy, and ornamental steel fences across the Twin Cities metro and Shorewood neighborhoods.

Lake Minnetonka properties rarely sit flat. We’ve installed fences on grades that drop five feet over a single panel run, around oak roots, and along setback lines where every inch matters.
At Compass Fence Co., we walk the fence line with you at the estimate, mark slope changes, and build the layout to fit. Step-paneling, racked sections, and adjusted post heights all get talked through before any post hole gets dug.
Three Fence Types We Bring to Every Job
Our product line covers chain link in galvanized or black-coated finishes, six-foot and eight-foot vinyl privacy panels, and ornamental steel for properties that want a cleaner street look.
Our crew sources all materials to recognized industry standards, including ASTM F668 for chain link mesh and ASTM F964 for rigid vinyl. The same in-house team installs all three. The crew quoting your job is the same one hanging your panels.
Posts Set for Hennepin County Soil
The Frost Line and Why Post Depth Matters Here
Shorewood soil shifts between thaw and freeze, and a fence with shallow posts will lean inside two winters. We set every post below the local frost line, which falls between 42 and 48 inches depending on the soil. Before any digging, we contact Gopher State One Call to mark utilities. Hardware gets picked for freeze-thaw resistance so gates stay square and latches keep working.

Every post is set below the local frost line so it won’t lean after a winter or two.

Freeze-Thaw Hardware

Backed by a 10-Year Labor Warranty
10-Year Labor Warranty, No Subcontractors
Every Shorewood install comes with a 10-year labor warranty stacked on the manufacturer’s warranty. The labor coverage applies to post setting, panel and rail attachment, gate alignment, and hardware installation across all three of our fence types. If something we built falls out of true inside that window because of how it was installed, we come back to fix it.

Shorewood sits along the south shore of Lake Minnetonka, surrounded by quiet streets, mature trees, and small lakes. The community is known for its strong schools, parks like Freeman Park and Badger Park, and easy access to downtown Minneapolis and the western suburbs. Yards here range from compact in-town lots to large lakefront properties, and almost every one benefits from a fence built around the terrain.
