Overview
Choose the details behind a cedar fence
Cedar brings a warm wood appearance to a privacy fence and naturally resists decay and insects. The look and upkeep of the finished fence depend on more than the species: picket layout, posts, gates and finish all matter.
Overlapping boards help cover the seams between pickets. Side-by-side boards offer a simpler look but can develop visible gaps as the wood dries. For another profile, horizontal boards change the direction of the lines and require their own framing plan.
Ask about cedar picket grade and thickness, wood or steel posts, a board along the bottom, and any cap or trim you want. Stain is a separate choice: it can help slow weathering and maintain color, or you can let the cedar weather naturally.

Planning in Fort Worth
Cedar care in North Texas
Sun and moisture gradually change the color of exposed cedar. An unstained fence will weather toward gray; a suitable stain can help retain color and slow weathering.
How often to reapply a finish depends on the product, exposure and condition of the wood. Follow the product instructions and inspect the fence periodically.

Answers to help you plan cedar fences in Fort Worth.
More fence questionsHow long will a cedar fence last?
There is no single lifespan for every fence. Installation details, drainage, posts, exposure and maintenance all influence how a cedar fence ages.
How does cedar compare with pressure-treated pine?
Cedar has natural resistance to decay and insects and a distinctive appearance. Pressure-treated pine is another wood option; compare the specific materials, design and maintenance requirements in your quote.
Does a cedar fence have to be stained?
No. Cedar can weather naturally, although a suitable stain can help preserve its color and slow weathering. The wood needs to be ready for the particular product before application.
What are cap and trim on a cedar fence?
A cap runs along the top of the pickets and trim frames the upper part of the fence. They add a finished look and can help protect exposed top edges.
What affects the price of a cedar fence in Fort Worth?
Length, height, picket layout, post type, gates, cap and trim, stain and old-fence removal all contribute to the total. A project-specific quote lets you compare your choices.
