Cedar or treated pine
Cedar has natural oils that fight rot and insects, and it weathers to a gray that a lot of people like on purpose. Treated pine is the budget answer; it is chemically treated to do a similar job and it will serve you well, it just does not have the same grain or the same lifespan. We will recommend the one that suits your yard and your timeline.
Board on board and shadow box
If you want privacy with no gaps as the boards dry and shrink, board on board overlaps them so there is nothing to open up. Shadow box alternates the boards front and back, which looks finished from both sides and lets some air through. That last part matters more than people expect on a windy, open lot.
Other styles we build
Solid privacy for a full screen, dog-ear or scalloped picket where you want a boundary without a wall, and ranch rail with wire mesh backing for acreage and animals. Examples of each are in the gallery.
Staining
New wood needs to dry before it takes stain, usually a few months depending on the weather. If you plan to stain, plan for the wait. A fence stained too early does not hold the finish.
Why people choose it
- Cedar resists rot and insects on its own, with no chemical treatment
- Treated pine costs less and still gives you a solid privacy fence
- Built on site, so the runs and gates fit the yard you actually have
- Board on board, shadow box, solid privacy, picket, scalloped picket and ranch rail
- Takes stain or sealer well if you want to control the color
