Here are a few reasons why homeowners select wooden boards for their fencing project.

One of the biggest reasons our clients turn to wood fencing is their affordability. After all, fencing is a big project, and it’s frugal to save money where you can.

When you compare the fencing costs, wooden fences are about one-third expensive less than their vinyl, aluminum, and composite counterparts.

One thing you will need to keep in mind is wooden fences will require regular maintenance to keep them in ship shape. This means you’ll need to paint, stain, and sand them regularly. This can be a bit time-consuming, but it’s a worthwhile endeavor for homeowners who don’t mind doing a little upkeep.

In addition to their affordability, wooden fences have a classic look to them. As such, they can add a lot of curb appeal to most homes in the St. Louis area.

They’re the most natural-looking fence you’re going to get because, well, they come from nature. The beauty that some customized wooden fences provide is incomparable, and it’s something that wins over the hearts of many homeowners who crave that natural aesthetic.

Fence styles are unique to individuals, so if a wooden fence installation will match your home perfectly, go for it!

You might not think it at first, but there are a lot of possibilities available to you when building a wooden fence. For the style of the boards, you can enlist a lot of different ideas to make something that fits perfectly.

A wooden picket fence is a traditional setup that never goes out of style. You can use it to set a clear, natural perimeter in your yard that comes up between 3-6ft. There isn’t much privacy associated with picket fences, other than keeping animals in and people out. For many homeowners, though, that’s exactly what they need.

A great lattice cedar fence is a beautiful sight to behold. The criss-cross nature of the thinned cedar allows you to see through the other side of the fence, but it certainly provides an added layer of protection and security to your yard as well.

Some yards are simply too exposed to the rest of the world to the point it can feel like your yard isn’t at all private. Enter a full privacy fence setup. Red cedar wood panels can extend up to 6ft out of the ground, giving your yard enhanced protection.
