Whether you wish to improve the curb appeal of the home or keep children and pets safe, wood fencing is a versatile structure to add to the property. Before you schedule an installation, one of the first tasks you must do is choose the right type of wood. If you’re not sure which option is right for you, the fence installation team at American Fence & Feed Company in Hinesville, Savannah and the entire Southeast Georgia, list a few of the most popular materials their clients use.

3 Types of Wood Fencing

1. Cedar

Cedar is durable, especially in unfavorable weather conditions. The natural acids and oils within the wood prevent insect infestations. It’s also rot-resistant, so you don’t have to worry about warping.

2. Redwood

Like cedar, redwood is a strong and durable wood fencing material. It also has oils that prevent it from rotting or warping and reduce the need for constant maintenance. You can leave the material in its natural state for a more rustic appearance or apply staining or paint for a polished and sleek look.

3. Pine

Pine is a common alternative to cedar and redwood because of its affordability. With the proper treatment, pine can last for a long time without decay. After a few years, it takes on a gorgeous golden color but can warp or crack with age.
