Spruce and Pine Fencing Dallas-Fort Worth, Arlington, Texas | Western Red Cedar Fence/Gate Builder/Contractor

We have found most people think of Spruce/Pine as a less expensive option when erecting a fence. You may be surprised to know the cost of maintaining Spruce/Pine greatly out-ways that of Western Red Cedar.

A Spruce/Pine fence does not have the dimensional stability of a true Western Red Cedar. This over the life of the fence leads to increased amounts of time and money spent maintaining the stained/painted finish of your fence.

Although all wood species will shrink over time Spruce Pine has been known to shrink dramatically as it ages creating gaps in-between the pickets of your fence. This will decrease your privacy and also cause your fence to look aged.

Spruce/Pine fence has roughly ½ the shelf life of a Western Red Cedar fence.

If that isn't enough to sway your decision - Untreated Spruce/Pine attracts wood borers, insects and termites. With all this in mind we hope you will seriously consider building a Western Red Cedar fence
