Overview
What Is a Cedar Wood Fence?
A cedar wood fence uses Western red cedar lumber — nature's premier fencing wood — for board, picket, rail, and framing components. Cedar contains natural oils (thujaplicin) that resist rot, decay, and insect infestation without chemical treatment. This makes cedar the dominant choice for Houston privacy fences, where high humidity would accelerate decay in untreated wood species.
Cedar fence boards are available in smooth-sawn and rough-sawn textures. Smooth cedar accepts stain and paint beautifully and gives a clean, polished look. Rough-sawn cedar has a rustic, natural texture that many Houston homeowners prefer. Both grades perform equally well in terms of durability.
Materials & Construction
Mustang Fencing sources premium grade cedar fence boards — #2 or better, with limited knots and no large knotholes. All boards are kiln-dried to 19% moisture content or less to minimize shrinkage and warping after installation. Fence pickets are 5/8 or 3/4 inch thickness; rails are 2×4 pressure-treated pine for added stability.
All wood fencing installs include pressure-treated 4"x4" posts set in 36-inch concrete footings, galvanized hardware, and professional-grade installation. We offer optional staining, sealing, or painting to protect your investment and match your home's exterior color scheme.
Key Benefits
Natural Rot Resistance
Cedar's natural oils resist rot, decay, and termites without chemical treatment — critical in Houston's humid climate where untreated wood degrades rapidly.
Beautiful Grain
Western red cedar offers a warm reddish-brown color and distinctive grain pattern. With proper sealing, the natural color is preserved. Left unstained, cedar weathers to a distinguished silver-gray.
Thermal Insulation
Cedar's cellular structure provides natural thermal insulation, helping reduce heat transfer from your neighbor's property and creating a cooler microclimate in your yard.
Natural Beauty
Wood fencing offers warmth and natural character that no synthetic material can replicate. Each board's unique grain pattern makes your fence one-of-a-kind.
Customizable
Wood is the most customizable fencing material. It can be cut, shaped, stained, or painted to match any architectural style or HOA specification.
