Wood Fences:
Wood fences are a popular choice for
homeowners across the country. They are built of some
of the most attractive fencing materials on the market.
We offer many design choices. Wood fences have
a long life when properly maintained, and they
are very cost effective when compared to other fence types.
Why Choose Wood Over Other Materials?
The answer to this question varies from homeowner
to homeowner, but there are a few universals that
boost wood's popularity when it comes to wood fences.
First and foremost, there's something about the
look of wood fences that draws people to this fencing
product. It's natural, warm, inviting, and doesn't
clash with its surroundings the same way that more
fabricated materials do. From a more practical perspective,
wood is one of the more cost effective materials
on the market, and is quite a bit cheaper per linear
foot than steel, iron, vinyl, and aluminum fencing
materials.
Which Wood Is Best for Fencing?
In some respects, the answer to this question depends
on what style of fence you're planning to install
and how you're hoping to treat your wood. If you're
looking to build a post and rail or picket fence,
and plan to paint it, the type of wood you choose
isn't as big of a concern. Pine or fir will do,
and will save you money over options. If you're
like most homeowners, however, you're planning to
treat your fence with a stain or let it weather
naturally. In that case, you can't beat cedar when
it comes to wood fences.
Which Is Better ? Red or White Cedar?
Red cedar is generally considered the optimal material for wood fences, since it's a little bit tougher when it comes to installation than eastern white cedar. However, both have natural oils that resist rot and weather damage, making them ideal for outdoor use; and some fencing installers will recommend you stick to whichever is more native to your area (i.e. red cedar in the west and white cedar in the east). If you're on a budget you might want to look into pressure treated lumber when building your new fence, though don't expect it to hold up as well as cedar when it comes to weather. You're bound to experience more cracking and splitting if you choose to go this route. Regardless of the type of wood you choose, it's a good idea to treat your wood fencing on a regular basis to increase their longevity and resistance to weather.
Gates:
Gates are without a doubt the most striking feature of your new fence. Each style of fence we carry has its own unique gate tailored to match.
