Wood Fences
Wood fences are a perennial favorite because they provide a natural, long lasting and low maintenance addition to any landscape or yard. Wood fencing is used to create an attractive ornamental border around a property, hide property from view, or to provide security, especially for around swimming pools.
What are wood fences made from?
Add-A-Link Fence offers wood fences made from various species, including:
Spruce – Spruce fences are typically white and can also be referred to as whitewood or hardwood. Spruce fences are available in any style and size. They are an affordable, and relatively durable option for any fence project. When well cared for–including sealing and resealing the wood to protect it from the elements, spruce fences can last between 7-15 years. Spruce fences are typically whitish in color and darken over the years to a rustic gray color.
Cedar – Cedar fences are made from white cedar or red cedar. Cedar fences are available in any style and size. Cedar wood contains natural oils that make it insect- and decay-resistant. Cedar fences are less likely to warp or crack in comparison to other types of wood. Cedar is a low-maintenance option for fencing and can be left in its natural state without staining. However, cedar can be stained, painted, or sealed with a clear sealant to extend its life and protect it against the elements. The lifespan of a cedar fence can range from 15 to 20 years and up. As it ages, cedar turns a shade of silvery gray.
Pressure-Treated Pine – Pressure-treated fences are made from yellow pine species or mixed pine species. Pressure-treated fences are infused under pressure with a water-based solution of micronized copper azole. After treatment, the wood has a greenish/yellow coloring, which fades to grayish over time. Pressure-treated fences are low maintenance and can resist decay and insect damage for 15-20 years.
