Fences are more than just boundaries; they provide privacy, security, and complement the aesthetic of a property. We focus on traditional wooden structures using Cedar. Cedar fencing is an ideal choice for the Pacific Northwest due to its durability and natural beauty. Its ability to thrive in moisture-rich conditions, coupled with its aesthetic and eco-friendly qualities is why it’s a popular choice for homeowners looking for both form and function.

Benefits of Using Cedar

1. Natural Resistance to Moisture and Decay

- High Moisture Tolerance: The PNW is known for its rainy climate. Cedar naturally resists moisture absorption, reducing the risk of warping, cracking, or swelling, which can be common in other wood types.
- Decay-Resistant: Cedar contains natural oils and compounds, such as thujaplicins, that prevent rot and decay, making it ideal for damp environments.

2. Durability and Longevity

- Weather Resistant: Cedar can withstand the varying weather conditions of the PNW, from heavy rains to occasional heatwaves.
- Pest Resistant: Its natural oils also repel insects like termites, which can damage other types of wood.

3. Aesthetic Appeal

- Beautiful Appearance: Cedar boasts a warm, natural color and tight grain patterns that blend beautifully with the lush greenery of the PNW.
- Aging Gracefully: Over time, cedar weathers into a lovely silvery-gray patina, adding a rustic charm without compromising its structural integrity.

Sustainability

- Eco-Friendly: Cedar is a renewable resource. When harvested responsibly, it has a smaller environmental footprint compared to synthetic materials.
- Biodegradable: Unlike vinyl or metal, cedar fencing decomposes naturally, making it a greener choice.

Versatility in Design

- Customizable: Cedar can be easily shaped and stained to match various architectural styles and personal preferences.
- Lightweight: Its relative lightness compared to other hardwoods makes installation more manageable.

Low Maintenance

- Natural Preservatives: While periodic sealing or staining can enhance its longevity, cedar doesn’t require chemical treatments to resist decay or pests.
- Minimal Upkeep: Its natural resilience means less frequent repairs or replacements, saving time and money in the long run.
