All You Need To Know About Wood Fence Materials
Wood fences are a popular choice for homeowners
looking to put up a decorative barrier. Wood
fencing has been around for centuries and is
still going strong today! The wood used in
fences can be either new or reclaimed, with the
most popular types being cedar, redwood, and
pine. Different varieties of woods provide
different properties that may be more ideal for
your needs.

1. Western Red Cedar

• Since this is one of the softest woods available
  to use as fencing, it is also among the most
  flexible types as well. Western red cedar is easy
  to work with, making it an affordable option for
  those looking for a stable yet affordable wood.
  It has small grains, is relatively
  decay-resistant, and is easy to paint over if
  desired. Western red cedar can be used in a
  variety of climates, including humid ones that
  experience warm summers and cold winters.

2. Douglas Fir
This type of wood fence is commonly used in
construction projects due to its strength,
durability, weight-bearing capacity, moisture
resistance, and resistance to decay from insects.
Its smaller grain size gives it a more attractive
appearance on the fence as well. If you're
looking for a stronger option to protect your
property, then Douglas fir is the ideal choice.
It's also easy to work with and can be painted or
stained depending on your needs.

4. Southern Yellow Pine
If you're looking for a strong wood that is just
as resistant to decay as cedar but not quite as
soft or weak, then southern yellow pine may be
the type of wood you want to invest in. This type
of wood provides great protection against harsh
weather conditions, including extreme wind and
sunlight. It's also rot-resistant and easy to
work with, making it one of the most popular
types used in fences.

5. Western Hemlock

• Western hemlock is one of the hardest types of
  woods used for fencing, but it's also one of the
  least flexible types on the market today. It is
  one of the most expensive woods available to you,
  but it will provide you with a strong wood fence
  that will last for years. Western hemlock is very
  popular in areas where there are frequent winds,
  especially along the coast. It is also resistant
  to decay, naturally pest-resistant, and easy to
  paint over if needed.
