Cedar
Cedar privacy
Board-on-board cedar for full privacy and a warm, natural line. Silvers gracefully or holds a stain.
Materials
Four ways to fence a yard.
Cedar, ornamental steel, vinyl and chain link. Here is where each one belongs, and what it costs to own.
Pick by outcome
Privacy, lifespan and budget rarely point the same way.
Cedar gives you full privacy and the warmest look for the money, and it is forgiving to repair one panel at a time. Ornamental steel trades privacy for a lifetime of curb appeal and is the usual answer for front yards and pool codes. Vinyl is the low-maintenance middle: full privacy that rinses clean and never needs a stain. Chain link is the honest budget answer where security and pets matter more than looks.
The table below is the short version. Bring us your property line and we will tell you which one actually fits your yard, your HOA and your patience for maintenance.
