Vancouver Island Fencing’s wood fences are constructed with quality western red cedar, pressure treated wood, or a combination of both. A number of homeowners choose a wood fence constructed completely of red cedar because they appreciate the true beauty of the cedar. Cedar fences, a traditional, timeless mainstay here on Vancouver Island is well known for it’s strength and durability. Cedar, with its natural oils, resists warping, cupping, and shrinking, even under the extremes of the heat of the summer or the long fall rainy season. Along with helping the wood maintain it’s integrity, the natural oils have long been known to deter insect damage.
Cedar can be stained to maintain the beautiful natural hues or may be allowed to age to a silvery grey tone that blends well with the natural forested look that many yards from Victoria to Campbell River enjoy.
Pressure treated wood is usually the choice for a number of components of the fence where it is subject to extreme weather or insect abuse. Examples of these are the posts themselves. Pressure treated wood excels in any below ground applications and in the lower “kicks” on the bottom where they may come in contact with the ground.
The design possibilities of a wood fence are endless. Whether you want a level top rail on a gently sloping ground. or a stepped top rail accommodating the grade change or a top rail that follows the slope of the ground, all are possible when designing your fence. The choice of visibility through the fence ranges from simple picket style fence to one where your yard is completely hidden from the outside view. From simple containment fences designed to keep your pets in and other pets out, to fences that make a stylish statement complimenting your home, Vancouver Island Fencing will work with you exploring all the possibilities to help you get the fence that best suits your needs.
All fences over time will come to the point where repair is required. Wood fences are relatively easy and economical to repair. The cost of a wood fence varies widely depending on the height, choice of wood, design and it’s intended function.
