What Type of Wood Should I Use For My Fence?

Jackson Fence uses western red cedar for our wood fences because it’s the gold standard for fence pickets and rails. It’s resistant to rot, decay, and insect damage thanks to the oils found naturally in the wood It’s also dimensionally stable, meaning it won’t warp, twist, or cup like cheaper spruce or pine. Cedar takes stain beautifully or ages into a classic silver-gray patina if you prefer a weathered look. It costs more upfront, but you’re not replacing it in five years like cheaper pine or spruce.
