Residential Wood Fences

Western Red Cedar – Eastern White Cedar – Pressure Treated Pine

A popular materials used for fencing is wood, which offers versatility in fencing that is unmatched by any other material. To ensure a long life for your wood fence, we recommend choosing a rot resistant wood or a pressure treated option.

For rot resistance, red western cedar is a distinct species of cedar that is ideal for fencing, since its wood is exceptionally lightweight, of soft texture and close, even straight grain. It is very easily worked, and can be finished to a smooth, silky surface with little effort. The wood holds stains, paints and enamels excellently, and has superior gluing qualities.

If you are looking at pressure treated lumber, generally southern yellow pine is the choice for homeowner use. Pressure treated woods are preserved to resist damage caused by moisture and termites.
