Cedar Fencing Services in Northern Colorado

Cedarwood stands out as a premier fencing material due to its exceptional attributes: 

• Unparalleled Durability: Cedar's inherent resistance to rot, decay, and insect infestation is attributed to its unique chemical composition and high oil content. These natural oils act as a powerful preservative, protecting the wood from moisture damage and pest attacks. (Source: "Plant Resins: Chemistry, Evolution, Ecology, and Ethnobotany" by Jean H. Langenheim) 

• Minimal Maintenance: Cedar fences require minimal upkeep to retain their beauty and structural integrity. Occasional cleaning and re-application of a sealant (every 2-3 years) will help preserve its rich color and extend its lifespan. (Source: The Wood Database -https://www.wood-database.com/) 

• Timeless Beauty: The warm hues and distinctive grain patterns of cedar add a touch of natural elegance to any architectural style. Its color can range from a light, honeyed brown to a deep reddish-brown, gracefully weathering to a silvery gray over time if left untreated. 

• Environmental Responsibility: Cedar is a renewable resource harvested from sustainably managed forests. Choosing cedar for your fencing project supports responsible forestry practices and minimizes your environmental impact. (Source: Forest Stewardship Council -https://us.fsc.org/en-us)

Understanding Cedar Varieties and Grades 

• Cedar Species: We primarily work with Western Red Cedar (Thuja plicata), renowned for its durability, stability, and beautiful grain. It is a lightweight and versatile wood, exceptionally well-suited for fencing applications. We also offer Eastern Red Cedar (Juniperus virginiana), a more economical option with a distinctive aroma and reddish hue.

• Grading Cedar Lumber: Cedar is graded based on its appearance and the number of knots present.

• Clear Grades: These premium grades have a uniform grain with minimal knots, providing a polished and refined look. 

• Select Grades: Offering a balance of beauty and affordability, select grades may have a few knots and slight color variations. 

• Common Grades: These grades have more knots and character, making them a cost-effective choice for a more rustic aesthetic. 

How long does a cedar fence last?

• A well-maintained cedar fence can last 15-30 years or more depending on climate and environmental conditions.
