Types of Wood Used for Fences

There are various kinds of woods used for manufacturing fences. You can choose from different sources to select the one most suited to your requirement, depending upon your budget and your desire for privacy.

Cedar
One great advantage of cedar is that it retains its condition even with reasonably low care and maintenance. In addition to being durable and resistant, it also has a pleasant scent and natural insect-repelling properties. However, a large downside of choosing cedar is that it is more expensive than its counterparts.

Spruce
Spruce wood is an economical alternative as compared to other types of woods. It starts out with a light grey-brown tone and darkens with age. It gives a great finish with paint and is thus one of the most popular woods for fences.

Allweather Wood®
Specially treated and derived through sustainable practices, Allweather Wood® is durable and resistant to wear and tear caused by the elements. Depending on the preservative, it can even be fire retardant, thus giving you extra security and safety.

• Having a wooden fence provides security to your home by acting as a deterrent to miscreants. It is also ideal for ensuring pets and small children's safety as it can stop them from venturing outside.

Wooden Fences Have Residential and Commercial Uses

Wooden fences can be used for both residential and commercial properties to provide privacy and improve the look of your property. With a wooden fence on your property, you can create a safe retreat for your children and your pets. Wooden fences have the lowest environmental impact in comparison to other types of fencing materials such as plastic or metal. Pressure-treated wooden fences last long as they do not rot or decay easily. By using metal posts, the lifespan of a wooden fence increases greatly.
