Wood Materials We Offer

We offer a range of wood materials for your fences. Choosing the right type of wood is important, as it impacts both the look and lifespan of your fence. Here’s a look at the wood types we recommend and what makes each one a great choice.

Cedar is a top choice because it naturally resists rot and bugs. It has a nice reddish color that adds warmth to your yard. Cedar is strong and can last a long time when properly maintained. Plus, it has a pleasant smell that some people really like.

Pine is another good option, especially if you’re looking for something more affordable. It’s often treated to resist rot and insects, which makes it a dependable choice for fencing. Pine has a lighter color, and you can stain or paint it to match your style. While it’s not as naturally resistant as cedar, treated pine holds up well.

Redwood is a premium choice for those who want something really special. It’s naturally resistant to rot and insects, and it has a rich color that gets even better with time. Redwood is strong and long-lasting, making it a great investment. It’s more expensive, but many people think its beauty and durability are worth the cost.

Pressure-treated wood is made to be extra durable. It’s treated with chemicals to resist rot, insects, and weather. While it doesn’t have the same natural beauty as cedar or redwood, it’s a solid choice if you need a fence that will last, especially in tough weather.

Fence Styles and Designs

When it comes to different styles and design features, we offer a variety that can enhance the look of your fence. Here are some of the most popular designs we provide, each with its own unique appeal.

Side-by-Side Fence

Side-by-Side Fence is one of the most common and straightforward fencing styles. In this design, the vertical boards are placed side by side with no gaps, providing a solid and continuous barrier. This style is perfect for privacy, as it effectively blocks the view from outside, making it an ideal choice for backyard enclosures.

Horizontal Fence Design

A horizontal Fence offers a modern twist on traditional fencing. Instead of vertical boards, the wood is arranged horizontally, creating a sleek look. This style is growing in popularity for both residential and commercial properties. It’s an excellent choice if you want a fence that stands out and makes a statement.

Good Neighbor

Good neighbor style fence is designed to look good from both sides. In this style, the exposed side of the rails is alternated between your side and your neighbor’s side. This way, both you and your neighbor have an equally attractive view. It’s a great option if you want to share the visual appeal of the fence while maintaining privacy and fairness.

Rot Board Feature

A fence with rot board adds an extra layer of protection to your fence. A rot board, also called a kick board, is installed at the bottom of the fence, where it’s most likely to come into contact with moisture. This helps prevent early onset of rotting, extending the life of your wood fence. It’s a smart addition, especially in the Gulf Coast region with wet conditions and high humidity.

Top Cap Feature

A top cap is a stylish upgrade that enhances the overall look of your fence. The top cap is a horizontal board that runs along the top of the fence, adding a finished and polished appearance. It also provides extra stability, helping to protect the fence from warping or splitting over time.
