Horizontal Board-on-board

  • Max Privacy: With your fence being board-on-board, no one can see through your fence, giving your backyard space maximal privacy.

Horizontal Side-by-side

Types Of Wood We Build With

Choosing the right type of wood to use in your fence is an important decision. The type of wood you select will determine how much time and money you’ll have to put into long-term maintenance, as well as the lifespan of your fence. We primarily build our wood fences from Western Red Cedar, but we do provide pine as a more budget-friendly option.

Western Red Cedar

  • Strength: Cedar is a stronger and more stable wood than pine, so it is less likely to warp or twist over time.
  • Insect resistant: Cedar is naturally resistant to insects, while pine is more prone to insect damage.
  • Appearance: Cedar has a more attractive appearance than pine, with a warm, reddish-brown color and a fine, straight grain. Pine has a more yellowish color and a coarser, more uneven grain.

  • Appearance: Pine can still look very high quality with the right stain.
  • Durability: You can expect to get 20 years from a pine fence.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of wood fence lasts the longest?

Quality construction is key to a long-lasting fence, but when it comes to material durability, cedar stands out. Widely favored in Texas, cedar wood offers natural resistance to decay and pests like termites, thanks to its inherent oils. Additionally, cedar remains stable, resisting warping or shrinking despite Texas's variable temperatures. You can expect 20 years out of a properly maintained cedar fence.

Is pine or cedar better for a fence?

Cedar is typically considered the more resilient and enduring choice between the two woods. It withstands the elements without requiring special treatments and has a minimal tendency to warp or shrink. Conversely, pine is more prone to issues like warping, buckling, and shrinking.

How long does it take to build a wood fence?

For typical yard dimensions, constructing a wooden fence with Texas Select Fencing usually takes 1-2 days. For more expansive areas, the installation might extend to 3 days. However, our team at Texas Select Fencing often streamlines this duration. Still, the exact time frame can differ based on the project's intricacy, weather conditions, and site accessibility.

How long does fence wood take to dry?

Generally, we recommend waiting about 1-2 months before applying any stain. This time allows the wood to adjust to our local conditions and attain an optimal moisture level for staining and sealing. Staining too soon can jeopardize the wood's integrity, potentially leading to mold growth and rot.

How much does it cost to install a wood fence?

We cater to a variety of budgetary needs, with options spanning from $27 to $68 per foot. Your final cost hinges on factors like fence length, height, and chosen materials. For a precise quote tailored to your preferences, please complete the form below!
