Choosing the right fencing material can be difficult because there are so many options. Many Idaho residential and commercial customers opt for a cedar fence because the wood looks great, the cost is reasonable, and the aesthetic appeal is top-notch. The oils in a cedar fence deter insects, protect the wood, and provide a brilliant finish that lasts longer than other wood choices.
How Long Will My Cedar Fence Last?
Cedar fences are beautiful, and they can improve the curb appeal and value of your home. Natural cedar fences are lovely, but if you leave them unfinished, the finish will darken to a gray color over time. Many property owners in the Boise area love how aged cedar looks, but some people prefer staining the wood periodically to maintain a consistent color.
Regardless of your choice, your cedar fence will provide a neat but rustic appearance, which makes it perfect for backyards in the Boise area.
Long-Life Performance With Proper Maintenance
Cedar keeps its shape and size beautifully, so your fence should look great and last for many years if it’s maintained properly. Commercial or residential property owners in Boise or surrounding areas should plan on performing some type of maintenance roughly every 3-4 years.
A properly installed and maintained cedar fence will resist wear and tear from pests and the extreme hot, cold, and wet climate we sometimes experience here in the Treasure Valley. Although it can shrink slightly, cedar maintains its original integrity much better than other wood species. Although cedar costs more than some other types of wood, its resistance to insects and Idaho’s weather can actually save money over its extended lifespan.
