What Makes Cedar One of the Best Woods for Building a Fence?

If you’re considering wood fence installation, cedar offers several advantages that make it our preferred material for residential fencing.

Here’s a look at some reasons homeowners fall in love with cedar fencing:

• Natural resistance to decay and pests: Cedar contains natural oils that help slow moisture-related deterioration, making it well-suited to changing weather conditions. These natural compounds also make it less appealing to many wood-damaging insects.
• Dimensional stability: Cedar expands and contracts less than many other wood species as temperatures and humidity fluctuate. This stability helps minimize warping, twisting, and shrinking over time.
• Attractive grain and color: Warm reddish and honey-colored tones, combined with distinctive wood grain, give cedar fences a timeless appearance that complements many architectural styles. It can also be stained or allowed to weather naturally into a soft silver-gray finish.
• Long lifespan with maintenance: Regular cleaning and occasional staining or sealing help preserve cedar’s appearance and structural integrity. With proper care, a professionally installed cedar fence can remain beautiful and functional for many years.

Can a Cedar Fence Be Installed on a Sloped Yard?

Yes, a cedar fence can be installed on a sloped yard. The best installation method depends on how steep the grade is, the layout of your property, and the style of fence you prefer.

There are two common ways to install a wood fence on uneven ground. The first is a stepped installation, where each fence section remains level while the fence gradually steps down the slope. This option works well for steeper grades and creates a uniform appearance.

The other option is a racked installation, where the rails follow the angle of the slope, allowing the fence to closely match the ground. This approach reduces gaps beneath the fence and creates a smoother look on gentle inclines.

During the planning stage, we’ll also determine the proper depth for each fence post to help your cedar fence withstand shifting soil and changing weather conditions over time.
