Champaign Fence Install
Wooden fences are beautiful and functional additions to most any backyard. Having a fence can be great for privacy (especially if you’re enjoying a hot tub! – check out Healthy Living Pool and Spa for more info) , setting boundaries on property, keeping pets and kids safely in the yard, and so much more. When well maintained, fences can last anywhere from 5-20 years depending on what type of wood they’re made from. We understand that not every fence stays in tip-top condition after install due to a variety of circumstances – weather, general wear and tear, etc.
It can be costly to have an entire new wooden fence installed, and this project was a perfect example of improving upon an existing fence. For this particular job, the customer only needed a new gate as the rest of the fence was still in tact and in good condition. We carefully constructed new gates to match the design and structure of the rest of the fence, as well as the previous gates. How is your fence looking? We’d be happy to improve upon your existing fence, or do a completely new install!
Fence Tips
Which type of wood is best? Two of the most common types of wood for fences are cedar and spruce. Cedar wood is expected to last 15-30 years and Spruce is expected to last 4-7. Most treatment companies claim that their treated lumber will last more than 20 years. A major pro to using cedar wood is that it is extremely durable. However, it’s quite expensive compared to other materials. The more durable and attractive the wood, the more it will typcially cost. If you’re looking to maintain a lower buget but still want a wood fence, spruce may be the way to go. Though not quite as durable, using spruce will lower the cost of the fence and its lifetime can be extended by treating it with a sealant.
