Cedar Fencing
The gold standard for wood fencing in Colorado. Naturally beautiful and versatile, cedar's natural oils make it highly resistant to decay and insect damage — our go-to choice for residential privacy.

Limitations
- • More expensive than basic pine
- • Requires staining every few years for maximum lifespan

Colorado Climate Performance
Colorado's intense sun dries wood out quickly. Cedar handles the dry climate far better than treated pine, shrinking and twisting less — regular sealing keeps it from warping and splitting.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you use pre-built panels?
No, we stick-build our cedar fences on site to ensure they perfectly follow the contour of your yard.
Will the cedar fade?
Yes, without stain, cedar will weather to a silver-gray. We recommend staining to preserve the color.
Does cedar need to be treated immediately?
We recommend waiting a few weeks for the wood to dry out completely before applying the first coat of stain.
Are metal posts better for cedar fences?
Yes! Using galvanized steel posts (like PostMaster) with cedar pickets drastically increases the lifespan of the fence by eliminating wood rot at the ground level.
Can cedar be painted?
Yes, but staining is generally preferred as it penetrates the wood. Paint can peel and requires more prep work to reapply.
