Frequently Asked Questions
About Wood Fences

How long do wood fences last in coastal climates?

With proper maintenance, a wood fence in Wilmington can last 10-15 years. Our pressure-treated pine fences typically last 15-20 years, while cedar fences can last 15-30 years with proper care. Regular maintenance and prompt repairs are key to maximizing lifespan in our coastal climate.

What's the best wood type for Wilmington's weather?

For Wilmington's coastal climate, we recommend either pressure-treated pine or cedar. Pressure-treated pine is cost-effective and resistant to moisture and insects. Cedar naturally resists decay and insects, and it weathers beautifully in coastal environments. Both options, when properly maintained, perform well in our salt air and high humidity conditions.

How often should I stain or seal my wood fence?

In Wilmington's coastal climate, we recommend sealing or staining your wood fence every 2-3 years. However, you should inspect your fence annually and may need to reapply sealant more frequently in areas with direct sun exposure or high moisture. Using a high-quality, marine-grade sealant can provide better protection against our coastal elements.

Can wood fences be installed on sloped terrain?

Yes, wood fences can be installed on sloped terrain using several methods:

  • Stepped fencing: The fence follows the slope in a series of steps
  • Racked fencing: The fence rails are installed at an angle to follow the slope
  • Custom-cut panels: We can create panels that precisely follow your property's contours

Our team will assess your property and recommend the best approach for your specific terrain.

Are wood fences environmentally friendly?

Wood fences can be an environmentally friendly option, especially when sourced responsibly. We use lumber from sustainable forests and offer options like cedar, which is naturally resistant to decay without chemical treatments. Wood fences are also biodegradable at the end of their life cycle. However, the pressure-treating process does involve chemicals, so if environmental impact is a primary concern, we can discuss the most eco-friendly options for your property.
