Why Choose a Wood Security Fence?

Wood fences offer a perfect blend of security and style for any property. They create a solid boundary that keeps unwanted guests out while adding a natural, warm look to your yard. Compared to other materials, wood is more affordable and can be customized to fit different styles, giving you flexibility to make it truly your own.

Another major benefit of wood fencing is its versatility. Whether you want a high privacy fence or a shorter decorative option, wood can be crafted into nearly any shape and size. Plus, wood is sustainable, which means you’re choosing an eco-friendly solution that’s safe for the environment. When properly treated, a wood fence can stand strong for years, maintaining its beauty and function.

Wood Material We Use

The choice of wood can make all the difference in durability, appearance, and maintenance needs. We work with top-quality materials to ensure your fence is sturdy and looks fantastic.

Cedar

Known for its natural resistance to decay and pests, cedar is an excellent choice for outdoor fencing. It weathers beautifully, taking on a silvery patina over time if untreated, and offers a distinct, pleasant scent that naturally deters bugs.

Pine

Treated pine is affordable and widely available, making it a popular option. It resists rot and insect damage, ensuring your fence stays strong even in tough weather conditions. Pine’s light color also allows for easy staining, so you can customize it to match your style.

Redwood

Redwood is highly durable and naturally resistant to rot and insects, ideal for outdoor exposure. Its rich color and smooth grain make it a premium choice, giving your fence a polished, high-end look with minimal maintenance.

Cypress

Cypress wood offers natural rot resistance and has a unique texture that adds character to your fence. It’s also resistant to warping, which helps it last longer in humid or rainy climates, making it a top choice for durability and visual appeal.

Wood Fence Styles

Privacy Fence

Privacy fences are tall, solid, and perfect for keeping your outdoor space secure and secluded. Built close together, the boards block out prying eyes and provide a safe haven for family and friends to gather.

Horizontal Privacy Fence

A modern twist on traditional privacy fencing, horizontal fences feature boards that run side-to-side instead of up and down. This style gives a contemporary look, often making small yards feel more spacious.

Shadowbox Fence

Shadowbox fencing has an alternating board pattern that allows air and light to pass through, while still offering privacy. It’s an ideal choice if you want a fence that looks great on both sides, creating a “good neighbor” vibe.

Board-on-Board Fence

This style overlaps boards to prevent gaps, ensuring complete privacy. It’s a durable, secure option that provides full coverage while adding a layer of dimension and visual interest to your yard.

Split Rail Fence

Known for its rustic charm, split rail fencing is often used for defining property boundaries without blocking the view. It’s low-cost and adds an open, inviting feel to any landscape, ideal for large properties or rural settings.
