Are Wood Fences Right for You?

Pros:

  • Design Flexibility – One key benefit of wood fences is their incredible design flexibility. Our team has the right experience to design and build wood fences in just about any style or design you can imagine, and we can make sure your fence fits harmoniously with the rest of your home’s architecture.
  • Privacy – Wood fences are also one of the best options when it comes to privacy, as they can provide complete coverage. If you are concerned about nosy neighbors looking into your space, we recommend using a wood fence to block their view.

Cons:

  • High Maintenance – A potential drawback of wood fencing is its relatively high maintenance requirements. Compared to fences made of other materials, wood fences need to be worked on more often. For example, they need to be periodically re-sealed or repainted to protect them from the elements.
  • Weathering – Another drawback of wood fences is the way they are affected by changes in temperature and humidity. Over time, wood fences can warp, causing fence posts to pull away from each other, and they can start to rot away.
