🪵 What Is a Wood Fence?

A wood fence is a classic structure built primarily from timber materials, used to enclose or divide an area for privacy, security, or aesthetic appeal. Popular for its natural beauty and versatility, a wood fence complements nearly any landscape and property style. All Fencing and Repair specializes in professional wood fence installation across South Florida.

🔑 Key Features of Wood Fences

📌 Materials

Most wood fences are constructed from cedar, pine, redwood, or cypress. These species are chosen for their strength, beauty, and resistance to decay and insect damage. Choosing the right material is essential for a durable wood fence.

📐 Styles

Wood fences are available in a variety of styles to suit functional and visual preferences:

  • Picket Fence: Vertical wooden boards (pickets) spaced evenly along horizontal rails. Ideal for front yards and traditional curb appeal.
  • Privacy Fence: Built with tightly spaced vertical boards to block visibility, creating a secure, enclosed space.
  • Post-and-Rail Fence: Horizontal rails connected between posts, commonly used for large residential or agricultural properties.

🧰 Maintenance

To extend the life of your wood fence, schedule regular maintenance such as staining, painting, and sealing. These steps protect against moisture, UV damage, and mildew. The American Wood Council recommends annual inspections and cleaning. Our fence repair services help ensure your investment remains strong and beautiful.

⏳ Durability

Wood fence lifespan varies based on the type of wood and ongoing care. Cedar and redwood naturally resist decay better than pine. In humid climates like South Florida, professional installation and sealing are essential for long-term durability. Contact us to discuss what wood fence option is best for your property.

💲 Cost Considerations

Compared to ornamental fences or PVC fencing, a wood fence is often a cost-effective solution. However, pricing depends on the style, height, type of wood, and complexity of installation. We offer free estimates and affordable financing options.
