The lifespan of a fence varies by material. For example, a cedar wood fence typically lasts 10-15 years without proper care and double with infrequent staining, while vinyl and ornamental iron fences can last 30 years or more. The durability of your fence also depends on your local soil and how well it’s maintained. Build It ATX ensures long-lasting results with high-quality materials and expert installation.

Choosing the right fence style depends on your needs, privacy preferences, and property aesthetics. If you’re looking for privacy and security, a solid wood or vinyl fence might be ideal. For curb appeal, ornamental iron or horizontal wood fences offer a modern touch. Our experts at Build It ATX will guide you through the process, helping you select the best fence for your home or business.

Vertical picket fences are commonly made with durable materials such as Western Red Cedar, Japanese Cedar, and Incense Cedar, known for their natural resistance to rot and insects. Pressure-treated pine is used by other fence companies but is less durable compared to cedar and tends to warp which is why we do not use pressure treated pine for the pickets.
