Going back 400 years, the favorite fencing material in this country has always been wood. In 2017 alone, Americans put up 59,000 miles of it, enough to circle the globe twice, and then some. Why wood? It’s inexpensive and lightweight, to be sure, but so is chain link. The main reason is that a wood fence can easily be shaped to give your property character.
Why Choose a Wood Fence?
You can choose from dozens of wood fence types, including linear post and rail and crisscrossing lattice, wooden framed chain link fencing, as well as a myriad of picket patterns and post-cap designs.

Split rail fences and picket fencing are classic designs that have an old-world charm and have maintained their popularity. Those who are in need of farm or ranch fencing would benefit from a wood ranch rail style fence. Wood fences are very diverse and can have a rustic look and feel or be as modern as any other fence material. Any style you choose will be sure to add interest and security to your back or front yard.
There are many popular types of wood materials used for fencing. Some of the most popular being cedar fencing (which includes red cedar and white cedar), pinewood, oak, cypress, and redwood fencing. And you can stain the wood to make it pop out or recede from the landscape as either a vibrant or subtle frame for what’s behind it, and what you want it to represent.
Wood fence maintenance requires a bit more attention and time than other materials like wrought iron, but no more than a composite fence (like a Trex fence) would. Wood fences should be cleaned yearly and re-stained or resealed every 2-5 years. But the price tag on wood fences is very attractive to most homeowners who are considering replacing their residential fence. Wood is a moderate fencing cost compared to other fence materials like vinyl fencing, aluminum, and wrought iron fencing.
