Maintaining a cedar fence involves regular care to preserve its appearance and durability. To keep your cedar fence in optimal condition, inspect it yearly for any signs of damage such as cracks, rot, or insect infestation. Clean the fence with a gentle detergent and water to remove dirt and grime, and consider applying a sealant or stain every few years to protect the wood from weathering and UV damage. Additionally, trim back any vegetation that may be in contact with the fence to prevent moisture retention and minimize the risk of rot. Adhering to a consistent maintenance routine will help extend the lifespan of your cedar fence and keep it looking its best.

Best Wood For My Fence?

The bes way to build a wooden fence is by using metal as your posts that go into the ground. Every year we receive so many calls of peoples fences falling over from a wind storm and it's always because they had wood going into the ground. The moister collects at the base of the post and speeds up the rotting process dramatically. That is always the first place that gives with a wooden fence.
