Cedar should be your only choice when you consider its unbeatable quality, appearance, and longevity.  The natural oils in cedar help make the cedar fence panels resistant to decay and insect attack, increasing its durability and weather ability without the use of chemical treatments.  It is dimensionally stable, much more so than other wood types, so there is minimal shrinkage or warping.  Your cedar fence will stay straight and sturdy much longer than a spruce or pine fence.

Above all, cedar has a beauty all it's own with colors, grains and textures unmatched by any other fencing material.  Properly constructed and installed, a cedar fence will add prestige and value to your home for years to come.

 Board vs. Picket

• Cedar boards are flat on all four sides and planed smooth
• Standard cedar boards are typically 1" x 4"
• Board tops can be left flat or cut into a variety of different styles.  (see our wood fence styles page)

• Cedar pickets are flat on one side and curved on the face and planed smooth
• Standard cedar pickets typically measure 2 3/4"
• Pickets typically have pointed or gothic style top and are primarily used for stockade fence

 Doweled vs. Nail-on

• Doweled style fence typically features a backer rail that is molded to a 2" dowel at the ends.
• With Doweled style fencing, the weight of the fence panel is supported by the actual fence rails
• With Doweled style fencing the posts are visible between the panels on both sides of the fence

• Nail-on style fence typically features a square backer rail which is secured to the face of a post
• With Nail-on style fencing, the entire weight of the fence panel is supported by the fastener
• With Nail-on style fencing the posts are not visible from the "good" side
