Through exploring various types of wood, training, and skillful installation, we ensure that your property reflects your taste and stands the test of time.
Choosing the Right Wood for Your Fence
Using cedar for a wood fence in the Pacific Northwest offers several advantages, given the region’s unique climate and environmental conditions:
- Natural Resistance to Decay and Pests: Cedar contains natural oils that act as repellents against termites, wood-boring insects, and fungi. This makes it an excellent choice for the damp conditions prevalent in the Pacific Northwest, where moisture can often lead to rot in other types of wood.
- Durability: Cedar is a robust and long-lasting wood, capable of withstanding the region’s frequent rain and occasional strong winds. When properly maintained, a cedar fence can last for decades.
- Aesthetic Appeal: Cedar boasts a rich, reddish hue and a fine grain, making it one of the most visually appealing woods. Over time, it ages gracefully to a silvery-gray patina, adding character to the landscape.
- Sustainability: The Pacific Northwest is home to abundant cedar forests. Using locally-sourced cedar reduces transportation costs and environmental impact and supports sustainable forestry practices in the region.
- Insulating Properties: Cedar’s cellular structure creates natural insulation, which can help dampen sound, making it ideal for privacy fences in urban and suburban settings.
- Adaptability: Cedar is easy to work with, allowing for various fence designs, from traditional pickets to intricate lattice patterns.
The Grading System of Cedar Fence Boards
We take the mystery out of the cedar fence board grading system. A glance at the number 1 grade indicates high-quality lumber, fewer knots, and fewer imperfections compared to the number 2 grade or lower. We recommend the tight knot cedar for its striking balance between durability and aesthetics.
Wood or Metal Fence Post
When “The Best Fence Company” launched three decades ago, 4 x 4 wood posts ruled the roost in fencing. Fast forward to today, and the scene has changed dramatically. While wood posts may serve you well for 10 to 15 years, metal fence posts are the game-changers, lasting a lifetime.
Comparing Clear Cedar Fencing Without Knots to Other Options
Clear cedar fencing—with no knots—is more than just a choice; it’s a statement that aligns with modern designs. But it’s not just about looks. We help you balance your budget and maintenance needs with your desired aesthetics. Whether you opt for insect-resistant cedar, affordable pine, or robust oak, you’re in good hands. Clear would mean that there are basically no knots. Many styles are available, like Flat tops, Dog ears, Top caps, Picture frames, and Lattice tops.

Pre-Construction Planning Process
Planning is key to successful wood fence installation. We navigate the red tape for you, obtaining all necessary permits and marking utility lines to avoid disruptions.
Acquiring Necessary Permits from Local Authorities: We handle the paperwork, so you don’t have to. We submit detailed plans to local authorities and secure the needed permissions, even where neighbor or homeowner association approval is required.
Marking Utility Lines Before Digging Post Holes: Safety comes first. We call a professional locator to mark the position of any buried utilities on your property. The colored flags or paint give a clear guide, avoiding any nasty surprises during installation.
Factors Affecting the Overall Cost of Wood Fence Installation
While we’re committed to affordable fencing solutions, certain factors can influence the final cost.
- Fence Height: Taller fences require more material and labor, which can increase the overall cost.
- Gates: Adding gates to your fence project can increase material costs and labor time.
- Terrain Conditions: Uneven or sloped terrain may require additional work, such as leveling or retaining walls, which can add to the total expense.
- Removal Obstacles: Removing enormous obstacles like trees, rocks, or existing structures can add additional
