Cedar fences are popular for a reason!
If you are thinking of getting a fence for any reason, you have to consider a cedar fence. At Mid-Atlantic Deck & Fence, you can find a variety of great fence materials, including wood, vinyl, composite, aluminum, and steel. Among the wood fences, you have pressure-treated pine, cedar, and exotic hardwoods like Ipe and Mahogany. What’s there to know about cedar fences?
What’s Great about Cedar Fences?
Natural Preservation
Cedarwood has a special natural property to it: an oil that repels some of our most formidable insect foes. This natural oil in cedar lumber repels cockroaches, termites, ants, ticks, and fleas. It doesn’t repel all insects, but concerning the ones it does, you can be sure that your new cedar fence will do its part to prevent fence rotting. Over time, the oils will fade, but their presence gives you a head start in fence preservation.
Natural Beauty
Cedar fences are beautiful whether they are new or old. You can keep them looking new with good maintenance. Cleaning, sanding, staining, and sealing the fence will help maintain its original color. If the sealer you use is clear, though, the UV rays will eventually turn it gray. Some people prefer the gray, weathered look, but you can preserve it with a colored stain if you wish.
Popular and in High Demand
Cedar fencing is Mid-Atlantic Deck & Fence’s most popular fence material! Cedar is a middle-of-the-road lumber that does not sacrifice in quality or affordability. It doesn’t have the preservative chemical treatment of pressure-treated pine, and it is not as hard to drill through as exotic hardwoods. It does its job well and is great for the Mid-Atlantic region.
Relatively Low Maintenance
It’s normal for people to let their fence be with no maintenance at all, but it will certainly help it last for longer if you do, even years longer. That being said, cedar fences are relatively low maintenance. You are likely to need to make repairs only after quite a few years.
How Much Do Cedar Fences Cost?
In 2024, a cedar fence could cost $7-$12 per linear foot. In February, Mid-Atlantic Deck & Fence is having a sale; cedar fences are the same price as pressure-treated pine for a limited time!
