Why Choose a Wood Security Fence?

Wood fences offer a fantastic balance of practicality and style, and they’re loved for their affordability. Compared to pricier options like vinyl or metal, wood gives you quality without the sticker shock. Plus, with the right upkeep, a wood fence can stand strong for 15 to 20 years. The key? A bit of maintenance—like staining or sealing—keeps it weather-ready and looking sharp, even in Baldwin County’s heat and humidity.

Privacy and security are other major perks. Wood fences are easy to customize, so whether you want a tall barrier for full seclusion or a shorter, decorative option, you’re in control. And, let’s not forget the charm. With so many options for painting or staining, wood easily adapts to fit your home’s aesthetic, adding that personal touch.

Wood Materials We Offer

Cedar

One of the top choices for homeowners, cedar has a natural resistance to rot, moisture, and pests. Its rich, warm color and pleasant scent make it as attractive as it is practical. Cedar is also low-maintenance, requiring less frequent treatment than other woods. In Baldwin County’s humid climate, cedar holds up particularly well, making it a durable and long-lasting option for your fence.

Pine

If you’re looking for something affordable and sturdy, pressure-treated pine could be your answer. The pressure treatment helps the wood resist rot, insects, and moisture, making it more durable. Pine fences are budget-friendly and can be stained or painted to fit the look you want, offering both value and style.

Redwood

For those who want a fence that stands out, redwood is a premium option. Its beautiful reddish hue gives any yard a warm, inviting appearance. Redwood is naturally resistant to decay and warping, making it a long-lasting choice, even though it’s a bit more of an investment. If you’re after both strength and beauty, redwood is a solid pick.

Cypress

If you’re looking for wood that can handle the elements, cypress is a fantastic option. Naturally resistant to rot, decay, and insects, cypress is particularly well-suited to humid climates like Baldwin County. It has a beautiful, light grain and weathers well over time, making it both durable and attractive. Cypress requires less maintenance than many other types of wood, making it an ideal choice for homeowners who want a long-lasting fence without constant upkeep. Its strength and natural oils provide protection against the elements, ensuring your fence stays sturdy and visually appealing for years.

Privacy Fence

If privacy is your priority, a Privacy Fence is the ideal solution. These tall fences are built with boards tightly spaced to block views from outside, creating a secluded backyard escape. They’re perfect for keeping pets and kids safe while giving you a peaceful outdoor retreat.

Horizontal Privacy Fence

The Horizontal Privacy Fence offers a more modern take on traditional fencing. Instead of vertical boards, this style features horizontal planks that create a sleek, contemporary look. It’s perfect for homeowners who want privacy with a dash of modern flair.

Shadowbox Fence

The Shadowbox Fence provides privacy with a bit of airflow. The boards are staggered on either side of the fence, allowing light and air to pass through while still creating a solid barrier. This style gives a unique layered look and feels more open than a traditional privacy fence.

Board-on-Board Fence

If total seclusion is your goal, the Board-on-Board Fence is a great option. The overlapping boards leave no gaps, ensuring complete privacy. It’s a sturdy, durable style that looks clean and sophisticated, offering both function and curb appeal.
