Advantages of Wooden Fencing in Austin

Affordable

Even though some woods are pricier than others, wood fencing is cost-effective compared to other materials. Maintenance is affordable as well.

Easy Installation

Because they’re so easy to install, you can look forward to having your fence completed quickly, with little disruption to your home or business schedule.

Durable

While some types of woods offer better durability, most can be treated with protective sealants to extend their lifespan. Stains or paint can help protect against the harmful UV rays, although most woods are decay-resistant.

 

Environmentally Friendly

Wood is a renewable resource and wood fences are almost entirely biodegradable. It’s possible to treat wood with safe ingredients that will not harm the soil or groundwater while still protecting from swelling and termites. Wood can also be disposed of easily.

Privacy

If one of your priorities is privacy, wood is the material that is best able to hide your property from passersby and nosy neighbors. You can close off as much space between the panels as your wish. Bordering your backyard with a wood fence is an ideal way to enjoy the outdoors without being interrupted, and perfect for those who want to create a feeling of seclusion.

Adaptable to Many Styles

No matter how you define your style, wood can be adapted to create the kind of fence that suits your taste. Wood fences can easily adapt to rural, suburban, or urban settings, and they can look as elegant or as simple as you prefer.

Customizable

It’s so easy to customize wood fencing compared to other materials:

  • Lower fence height by trimming the panels
  • Change the fence color with stain or paint
  • Adjust the width of a gate
  • Add ornamentation or accessories, such as iron locks, bracket, or other accents
