Cedar Cost Per Foot
A cedar fence is a more affordable option when taking on a new project. It performs great and it costs price per ft similar to vinyl, another low maintenance material like composite.
Wood fencing is also highly customizable when it comes to design. Vertical, horizontal, total privacy, semi-privacy, simplistic, decorative or anything you might desire.
Cedar fences are also more easily repairable as damaged boards and timber can be replaced individually.
Built to Last
Premium pickets with 2 3/8 inch round galvanized posts set in concrete make for the strongest cedar fence. If you are spending the money on a new fence choose metal posts.
Typically steel posts only slightly raise the cost per linear foot on a new fence. With metal posts you will not have to worry about posts rotting off in the ground, versus wood posts will start to fail within 10 years.
Cedar fencing is lightweight and possesses high weather resistance and decay properties. It is less susceptible to moisture, fungi growth and insect infestation.
Cedar can withstand long periods of baking sun, heavy rain, snow, hail and strong winds.
Looks Great
Cedar fence has naturally stunning wood with deep, tonal properties that accentuate the richly textured wood grains and exposed heartwood. When new it contains a light colored hue with a tinge of red, gradually turning to gray as it ages over the years.
If you prefer to avoid the “graying”, cedar is porous and resin free so it holds a variety of finishes from clear sealers to rich darker stains.
