Types of Wood Fences
Wood fences come in a variety of styles, each designed to balance beauty, function, and cost.
Whether you’re looking for classic curb appeal or maximum privacy, Northwest Cedar offers wood fence installation options to suit every property.
Picket Fence
A picket fence delivers a timeless, welcoming look that frames your yard without blocking views. Known for its clean lines and charming style, it’s an excellent choice for front yards and decorative accents.
Picket fences can also be customized in height and spacing to achieve the perfect blend of openness and security.
Privacy Fence
A privacy fence creates a secure and secluded space for your backyard and property. Built with tightly placed boards, these fences provide maximum coverage to block noise and deter unwanted views. They’re ideal for families with children or pets who want extra safety.
Split Rail Fence
Split rail fencing has a rustic look and is one of the most affordable styles. It’s often used on large properties or rural land to mark boundaries without fully closing off the space. This makes it a great choice when you want charm and function without the cost of a solid privacy fence.
Shadowbox Fence
Also called board-on-board, a shadowbox fence features alternating pickets on each side of the rail. This design provides airflow and durability while maintaining privacy from every angle. It’s a versatile option for homeowners who want security and style.
Lattice Top Fence
A lattice top fence combines the strength of a privacy fence with decorative accents. The lattice design adds elegance and subtle openness while still maintaining security. This option is popular for homeowners who want a sophisticated yet durable finish.
Choosing the Right Wood for Your Fence
The type of natural wood fencing you choose will affect how your fence looks, how long it lasts, and how much upkeep it needs.
At Northwest Cedar, we work with the most reliable wood materials so you can find the right match for your style, budget, and property.
You can choose from any of the following wood types:
Cedar Fence
Cedar fences are one of the most popular choices because they naturally resist rot, warping, and insects. It’s a strong, low-maintenance wood that holds up well in different climates. With its rich color and durability, a cedar fence is built to last for years.
Redwood
Redwood is known for its deep, natural color and long-lasting strength. It’s less likely to shrink or warp, making it a premium option for homeowners who want beauty and performance. While it costs more than other woods, many choose redwood for its unique look and durability.
Pine
Pine is an affordable wood that can be pressure-treated for added protection against moisture and pests. It’s a flexible option often used in both picket and privacy fences. Because it’s budget-friendly, pine is a good choice for families who want a reliable fence without the higher price tag.
Spruce
Spruce has a clean, light appearance that works well for simple designs like picket or ranch-style fences. It’s usually one of the most economical options. While it doesn’t last as long as cedar or redwood, spruce delivers value and a natural look.
Pressure-Treated vs Natural Wood
Pressure-treated wood resists decay and pests, while natural wood showcases authentic character. The right choice depends on your budget and style preferences.
