Choosing the Right Wood for Your Fence
Not all wood is created equal. Different species offer different benefits in terms of durability, appearance, and cost. We help you select the wood that matches your needs and budget.
Cedar Fencing
Cedar is a premium choice for wood fencing. It naturally resists rot, decay, and insect damage thanks to oils in the wood. Cedar starts out with a beautiful reddish tone that weathers to an attractive silver-gray if left untreated. It accepts stain beautifully if you want to maintain the original color or go with something different.
The upfront cost is higher than pine, but cedar's natural durability means lower maintenance costs over time. It's an investment that pays off in longevity and appearance. Many of our Hurricane clients choose cedar for its balance of beauty and performance.
Pressure-Treated Pine
Pressure-treated pine offers excellent value and durability. The treatment process forces preservatives deep into the wood, protecting against rot, decay, and termites. This makes treated pine suitable for ground contact and the demanding conditions fences face.
Treated pine takes paint and stain well once it dries after installation. The wood has a clean, uniform appearance that works with any architectural style. For budget-conscious homeowners who want a quality wood fence, treated pine delivers outstanding results.
Redwood Fencing
Redwood represents the premium end of wood fencing. Like cedar, it naturally resists decay and insects. The rich, warm tones are instantly recognizable and highly valued. Redwood is stable, meaning it's less likely to warp or twist as it ages.
While redwood costs more than other options, its exceptional durability and stunning appearance make it a favorite for upscale properties. If you want a statement fence that truly stands out, redwood is worth considering.
Popular Wood Fence Styles
Wood's versatility allows for countless design options. Here are the most popular styles we install for Hurricane homeowners, though we can build virtually any custom design you envision.
Privacy Fences
Privacy fences feature boards placed tightly together with no gaps, creating a solid barrier. Typical heights range from 6 to 8 feet. These fences block views into your yard while reducing noise from nearby streets or neighbors. They're perfect for backyards where you want to create your own private outdoor space.
Picket Fences
The classic picket fence defines American homes. Vertical boards spaced evenly apart create an open, welcoming appearance. Heights typically range from 3 to 4 feet, making them ideal for front yards and decorative boundaries. Picket tops can be flat, pointed, rounded, or custom-shaped to your preference.
Shadowbox Fences
Shadowbox fences alternate boards on either side of the rails, creating visual interest and partial privacy. They look good from both sides and allow some airflow while still providing screening. This style works well for side yards and boundaries where you want privacy without creating a solid wall.
Horizontal Slat Fences
Modern homes often pair well with horizontal slat designs. Boards run horizontally rather than vertically, creating clean lines and contemporary appeal. Spacing between slats can be adjusted for more or less privacy. This style has become increasingly popular in Hurricane as more modern architecture appears in the area.
Beyond these common styles, we create custom designs that incorporate multiple elements or unique features. Decorative tops, lattice sections, and mixed materials are all options. We can also match existing fencing or architectural details on your home. If you need ideas beyond the standard options, we have experience with custom fence installations that deliver exactly what you envision.
