Your Local Fence Company in Zimmerman, MN
Zimmerman sits northwest of the Twin Cities at the junction of U.S. Highway 169 and Sherburne County Road 4. The city pairs a small-town setting with access to outdoor recreation around Lake Fremont and the Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge. Venture Fence installs residential and commercial fence projects for Zimmerman property owners who need privacy, security, safer yards, or clearer property lines. From our Rogers shop, our locally owned team builds with Minnesota winters in mind, including posts driven 4 feet deep to help resist seasonal frost movement.
Residential and Commercial Fencing in Zimmerman

Residential Fence Installation
Zimmerman homeowners use fencing to create backyards, play spaces, areas for pets, and boundaries between lots. We install vinyl, ornamental steel, chain link, and custom gates that fit both in-town properties and open settings. Because Minnesota freeze-thaw cycles can move shallow posts, our crews drive posts 4 feet deep to build a straighter, more stable fence from the ground up.

Commercial Fence Installation
Businesses and property managers around the busy Highway 169 corridor need fencing that reliably controls access and keeps active working areas organized. Venture Fence designs and installs security fencing, commercial chain link, commercial gates, and screened dumpster enclosures. We coordinate the layout, materials, gates, and installation details so the finished system supports daily operations and presents a clean, professional boundary.
Fence Types We Install in Zimmerman

Ornamental Steel Fencing
Ornamental steel fencing defines a yard without closing the view. Its clean lines work well near front yards, backyard pools, and homes that need security with a lighter, open appearance.

Vinyl Fencing
Vinyl fencing provides full privacy with very little ongoing routine upkeep in Minnesota. It does not need painting, and its solid panels help screen backyards from roads and neighboring properties.

Chain Link Fencing
Chain link fencing is a practical, budget-friendly choice for pets, family play areas, and larger yards. Black vinyl-coated options recede visually while providing a durable boundary that keeps sightlines open.

Commercial Chain Link
Commercial chain link protects storage areas, equipment, and busy work sites. Heavier materials and properly sized access points create a secure, dependable perimeter system that supports frequent, demanding daily use.

Entry Gates
We build residential and commercial gates around the way each property entrance is used. Every custom gate is fabricated to follow the grade, swing cleanly, and latch reliably for years.

Dumpster Enclosures
Dumpster enclosures screen waste areas and improve the look of commercial properties. We coordinate the enclosure and gate so collection access stays practical and the site stays clean and orderly.
Why Zimmerman Trusts Venture Fence
Locally Owned
We're a small, owner-operated company focused on keeping things simple, with easy communication, a personal approach and no runaround.
Integrity in Every Job
From the first conversation to the final installation, we stand behind our work. Our team is committed to doing the job right and treating every property with respect.
Why Zimmerman Chooses Venture Fence
A dependable fence starts with clear answers, sound materials, and an installation plan made for the property. Zimmerman customers choose Venture Fence because our team is nearby, our process stays straightforward, and our work is built for Minnesota ground.
A Nearby Local Crew
Our Rogers shop is approximately 21 miles from Zimmerman, about a 24-minute drive by the fastest route when audited. That practical proximity helps us efficiently serve Sherburne County properties with a local crew that understands the region and its seasons.
Posts Set for Frost Country
Minnesota frost can lift a post that is not set deeply enough. Our crews drive posts 4 feet into the ground to help limit seasonal movement and give each Zimmerman fence a stronger, more stable foundation through repeated freezing and thawing.
Guidance Without Pressure
We clearly explain the practical differences between materials, layouts, gates, long-term costs, and maintenance before the project begins. You receive a clear, useful recommendation based on your property, priorities, and goals, without unnecessary upgrades, vague promises, or a high-pressure sales process.
Workmanship We Stand Behind
Your installation is protected by Venture Fence's 10-year workmanship warranty. As a small, owner-operated company, we depend on doing consistently careful work and responding quickly and directly when customers need us. Accountability remains part of the job after the final site cleanup.
Local Fence Regulations in Zimmerman
Zimmerman's official city fencing bulletin addresses fence height, corner visibility, setbacks, and required screening. The document remains available through the city's website, but it was created in 2013. Property conditions, recorded easements, state building rules, and later code changes may add requirements, so confirm the current city requirements with Zimmerman City Hall or Metro West Inspections before finalizing a layout.

Height Limits and City Review
The official city bulletin states that fences generally may not exceed 4 feet in the front yard area or 8 feet in side and rear yard areas, measured from the average point between the highest and lowest grade. Zimmerman's public permit page provides a general building-permit application process but does not publish a fence-specific permit threshold. Confirm directly whether your planned fence needs city review or a permit before any work begins.

Lot Lines and Corner Visibility
Fences are generally required to be set back at least 1 foot from a lot line. The bulletin allows placement on the lot line when the abutting property owners give mutual consent. A fence, screen, or structure that blocks a driver's view cannot be placed within 25 feet of a corner formed by intersecting street or railroad rights-of-way, measured from the intersecting property lines. Confirm visible property pins and recorded easements before choosing the final installation line.

Materials and Required Screening
Where city code requires specific screening, the official bulletin identifies two accepted approaches: a properly planted green belt with enough overall width and planting density to effectively screen the area, or a fence made of masonry, brick, wood, or steel that is compatible in appearance with nearby structures. The bulletin does not provide a complete material list for every residential fence. Ask the city about vinyl, chain link, ornamental, pool, or special-use requirements for your lot.

Zimmerman Fence FAQs
Do I need a permit to install a fence in Zimmerman?
Zimmerman's building-permit page does not identify a fence-permit threshold, so do not assume a permit is or is not required. The published fencing bulletin still applies. Before setting posts, confirm requirements with Zimmerman City Hall or Metro West Inspections for a pool, corner lot, easement, or special property use.
How tall can my fence be in Zimmerman?
The bulletin states that fences may not exceed 4 feet in a front yard or 8 feet in side and rear yards. Height is measured from the average point between the highest and lowest grade. Because the bulletin was created in 2013, confirm limits and the measurement method for the property before construction.
How close can a Zimmerman fence be to a lot line or street corner?
The city bulletin requires a 1-foot setback from lot lines, but it allows placement on the lot line with mutual consent from neighbors. View-obstructing fences, screens, and structures must stay at least 25 feet from a corner formed by intersecting street or railroad rights-of-way. Confirm property pins, easements, and corner visibility before installation.
