Southwest Fence & Deck
Board-on-Board Western Red Cedar Fence with Custom Box Frame Gate
This project highlights the installation of a high-quality wood fence using board-on-board Western Red Cedar, a material selected for its superior longevity and durability compared to alternatives like Chinese cedar or fir, which became prevalent during supply chain challenges. The client desired a fence that would provide privacy and stand the test of time, making Western Red Cedar the perfect choice for its natural resistance to decay and pests.
Design and Materials
The fence was stained with a custom color called “Driftwood,” giving it a modern, sleek finish while enhancing the wood’s natural beauty. The stain also protects against the elements, ensuring the fence maintains its appearance for years.
The project also featured a ground contact-treated retainer on the opposite side of the fence, providing additional stability and ensuring the structure is built to last, even with prolonged exposure to moisture and varying ground conditions.
Final Outcome
This Western Red Cedar board-on-board fence is a beautiful and long-lasting addition to the property. The combination of the driftwood stain, custom box frame gate, and high-quality materials ensures that this fence will provide privacy, security, and curb appeal for many years. This project is a testament to the durability and visual appeal of using top-quality materials and thoughtful design elements in fence construction.
Unique Design Elements
One of the standout features of this project was the inclusion of custom box frame gates, specifically used for wood walk gates. These gates not only enhance the fence’s aesthetic but also provide additional strength and durability, ensuring they remain functional and secure over time. The custom-built electric gate further elevates the homeowners’ functionality and ease of use, offering a stylish and convenient access point.
