Wood Fences
Classic beauty and natural warmth for your property with expertly crafted wood fencing.
Why Choose Wood Fencing?
There's a reason wood has been the top choice for fences for centuries. It's versatile, beautiful, and works with any home style. Whether you want a classic picket fence, a privacy fence, or something completely custom, wood can do it all.
Wood fences offer warmth and character that other materials just can't match. Each board has its own natural grain and texture, creating a one-of-a-kind look for your property. You can paint or stain wood any color you want, and change it up whenever you feel like refreshing your home's appearance.
At FortiRail Kiryas Joel Fencing, we build wood fences that last. We use premium lumber, proper construction techniques, and the right hardware to ensure your fence stands strong for years. Our expert installation services mean your fence will be built right the first time.
Popular Wood Fence Styles
We offer a wide range of wood fence styles to match your needs and preferences:
- •Privacy fences: Tall boards with no gaps give you complete privacy and security. Perfect for backyards where you want to relax without neighbors watching.
- •Picket fences: The classic American fence style with spaced vertical boards. Great for front yards and adding curb appeal.
- •Horizontal board fences: Modern and sleek with boards running sideways. Creates a contemporary look that's trending right now.
- •Shadowbox fences: Boards alternate on both sides for a finished look from any angle. Offers privacy while allowing some airflow.
- •Split rail fences: Rustic and open with horizontal rails. Ideal for large properties and defining boundaries without blocking views.
Choosing the Right Wood
Not all wood is created equal. We work with several types of lumber, each with its own benefits. Cedar is naturally resistant to rot and insects, making it a popular premium choice. It weathers to a beautiful silver-gray if left untreated, or you can stain it to maintain its warm color.
Pressure-treated pine is the most budget-friendly option and works great when properly maintained. The treatment process protects against rot and insects. With regular staining or painting, pressure-treated fences can last 15 to 20 years or more.
Redwood offers excellent durability and natural beauty but comes at a higher price point. If you're comparing options, check out our vinyl fencing page and aluminum fencing options to see how different materials stack up for your specific needs.
Caring for Your Wood Fence
Let's talk maintenance:
Wood fences need some care to look their best and last as long as possible. The good news is that basic maintenance is simple and doesn't take much time.
Clean your fence once or twice a year with a garden hose or pressure washer on a low setting. This removes dirt, mold, and mildew before they can damage the wood. Check for loose boards or nails and tighten or replace them right away.
Stain or seal your fence every two to three years to protect against weather damage. This is the single most important thing you can do to extend your fence's life. If you notice any damaged sections, our fence repair services can fix them quickly before problems spread.
