Wood Fences

Why Wood Fences Never Go Out of Style

There's something special about a wood fence. It's natural, warm, and fits any home style from traditional to modern. Wood has been the go-to fencing material for centuries, and for good reason. It gives you complete privacy, adds real curb appeal, and can be customized to match your exact vision.

In Poinciana, FL, homeowners choose wood fencing because it creates that backyard retreat feeling. Whether you want a tall privacy fence for your pool area or a decorative picket fence for your front yard, wood delivers. Plus, it's one of the most affordable fencing options that still looks high-end.

Popular Wood Fence Styles We Install

Wood fencing isn't one-size-fits-all. You've got options, and we'll help you choose the perfect style for your needs and budget. Here are the most popular types we install:

• Privacy fences: Solid boards with no gaps, usually 6 to 8 feet tall, perfect for backyards
• Picket fences: Classic style with spaced vertical boards, great for front yards
• Horizontal slat fences: Modern look with boards running side to side
• Shadow box fences: Boards alternating on both sides for a dimensional look
• Split rail fences: Rustic and open, ideal for larger properties
• Lattice top fences: Privacy fence with decorative lattice on top

Each style has its own advantages. Privacy fences are our most popular choice because they give you total seclusion. But if you want airflow or a more open feel, consider a picket or shadow box design. We'll show you samples and help you pick the right fit for your property.

Choosing the Right Wood Material

Not all wood is created equal. The type of wood you choose affects how long your fence lasts and how much maintenance it needs. Here's what we recommend:

Cedar is our top pick for Florida. It's naturally resistant to rot, insects, and decay. Cedar fences can last 15 to 20 years with basic maintenance. It's more expensive upfront but saves you money long-term.

Pressure-treated pine is the most budget-friendly option. It's chemically treated to resist rot and bugs. With proper care, it can last 15 years or more. This is great if you want quality without breaking the bank.

We source all our wood from trusted suppliers and check every board before installation. If you're also considering other materials, take a look at our vinyl fence options for a comparison.

Keeping Your Wood Fence Beautiful

Let's be honest. Wood fences need some care. But it's not complicated. A little maintenance goes a long way in Florida's climate. Here's what you should do:

Inspect your fence once or twice a year. Look for loose boards, popped nails, or signs of rot. Catch problems early and they're easy fixes. Clean your fence annually with a garden hose or pressure washer on low setting. Remove dirt, mildew, and debris.

Seal or stain your fence every 2 to 3 years to protect it from moisture and UV damage. We can recommend the best products for Florida's weather. If you ever need help, our fence repair team is just a phone call away.
