There is nothing like a traditional wood fence. In recent decades, pressure-treated pine has made headway as the most affordable wood fence material, but some disapprove of its chemical infusions. What about cedar? There are many reasons to love cedar fences, and if you have your heart set on one, Freedom Fence & Deck can be your cedar fence contractor in Bel Air, Maryland.

The Unique Benefits of Cedar Fences

Cedar fences are the mid-range of quality for wood fence materials. The three main options are pressure-treated pine, cedar, and exotic hardwood like Ipe. What is there to love about cedar fences?

First, it has a beautiful color and scent. It has a reddish or orangish-brown color and a smell worthy of big business for large candle manufacturers. Like fir or pine, it has a unique scent of its own. The most common descriptors of cedarwood’s smell are camphorous and balsamic.

This scent has a practical source. Cedarwood’s natural oils are preservative, repelling insects and deterring mold growth. Cedar is resistant to rotting and will last for several decades at least with proper maintenance. 

Ultimately, cedar is a budget-friendly option if you want a fence that is midrange in cost and relatively low-maintenance. It is a softwood, so you will need to take care that it doesn’t get too many dents and scratches. On the whole, it is one of the most popular types of wood fences.
