CEDAR CONTROLS TEMPERATURE AND SOUND

Cedar wood has naturally occurring air pockets within its structure. These pockets enable the wood to work in a similar way to insulation, controlling the temperature within its boundaries. This means the area it surrounds is warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. A privacy fence built of cedar can help make your yard’s temperature more comfortable. A privacy fence offers some built-in noise reduction by its very nature, but those same air pockets in cedar help dampen sound even further.

DURABILITY

Cedar is a hardwood species that is naturally resilient. It can withstand rain, snow, heat, and exposure to the sun. Cedar wood fencing that’s been appropriately treated can last for years. Years can stretch into decades if homeowners make sure to perform regular, annual maintenance on their fences, checking weak spots and giving the wood extra layers of protection with paint, and other coatings. In fact, its durability is what makes cedar such a popular choice for fencing. Cedar planks shrink and warp less than other types of lumber, helping fencing remain straight and well-aligned, which preserves the integrity and appearance of the fence. Cedar also has natural oils that repel insects and resists rot.

CEDAR REQUIRES LITTLE MAINTENANCE

Cedar fencing does require some maintenance; however, this is usually less than many other types of fencing. The main maintenance recommended for a cedar fence is the initial application of a protective coating, with reapplication every few years. Standard fencing maintenance tasks, such as inspecting it for breaks, splinters or loose hardware, is also recommended.

SUSTAINABILITY

If going green is a goal for your company or your customers, cedar is a good choice. Cedar has a low carbon footprint, and it comes from responsibly-managed, sustainable forests that plant millions of new saplings immediately after harvest.

PROPERTY VALUE

When you add a cedar fence to a property, you are not just installing something that provides added privacy and a measure of security, you’re adding value to the property. Of all the upgrades that could be made to a home, a fence is one of the best investments. And with the durability of cedar, that value is enhanced.
