Why Cedar?

Cedar is a beautiful lumber; its warm color and aromatic scent make it a lovely fence material. This lumber comes in different grades; a lower grade is cheaper, and the wood has more knots and imperfections. Although the consensus is that pressure-treated pine is cheaper than cedar and composite is more expensive, it might not actually be the case. It all depends on the grade. That being said, the cost of a cedar fence is quite close to that of a composite fence, which is plastic and wood combined.

Costs aside, cedar naturally resists insects and mold. It is a beautiful wood that naturally withstands rot. If you are looking for a quality wood fence, cedar is a great middle-of-the-road option compared to pressure-treated pine and exotic hardwood like Ipe.

Designing Your Cedar Fence

Your cedar fence could be the same style all around the property, but you could also mix it up and tailor it to your needs. What fence styles might you use? Popular fence styles include:

• Picket fence
• Privacy fence
• Split-rail fence
• Post-and-rail fence
• Lattice fence

Your choice of fence design will depend on how much privacy and security you need on each side. If security is your priority, then it would help to have one fence style all around the property, such as a privacy or picket fence. If you want to vary your visibility and privacy on different sides, you might combine a privacy fence with a post-and-rail fence.

Each fence type has even more ornamental variations. Freedom Fence & Deck can show you what is possible.

Maintaining Your Cedar Fence

A cedar fence might naturally resist rot, but they do need more maintenance than a composite, vinyl, or aluminum fence. Expect to seal it every few years and make repairs over the decades to keep it in great condition.
