Explore Wood Fence Types and Styles

Cedar and redwood are excellent choices for wood fences because they naturally resist rot and insects. Pressure-treated pine is another popular option, offering affordability and protection against decay. Selecting high-quality wood combined with regular maintenance, such as sealing and cleaning, can significantly extend the lifespan and durability of your fence, keeping it strong and beautiful for years.

A properly maintained wood fence typically lasts 15 to 25 years. Its lifespan depends on factors such as the type of wood, local climate conditions, and how well it is cared for. Consistent staining or sealing, along with prompt repairs, helps protect the fence from damage and ensures it remains sturdy and attractive for many years.

Staining enhances and preserves the natural wood grain while providing moderate protection against the elements. Painting offers a solid, uniform color and typically delivers stronger resistance to weather conditions. Both staining and painting require regular reapplication to maintain their appearance and protect the wood from moisture, UV rays, and other environmental damage over time.

 Installation costs for wood fences depend on size, wood type, and design complexity. Typically, prices range from $15 to $35 per linear foot. Additional fees may arise from site preparation, permits, and finishing treatments.

Yes, wood fences can be installed on slopes using either stepped or racked methods. Stepped fences feature posts set at varying heights to create a stair-step effect, while racked fences smoothly follow the slope’s angle. Professional installers ensure the fence maintains proper alignment and strong structural integrity on uneven or sloped terrain.
