Why Cedar Outperforms Other Woods in the Pacific Northwest Climate
Cedar is built for the Pacific Northwest. It handles rain, moisture, and seasonal changes without the common failures seen in many wood fences.
Naturally Resists Moisture and Rot
Western Red Cedar contains natural oils that help repel moisture and slow decay. In a wet climate, this makes a real difference in how long a fence holds up.
Stays Straight in Changing Weather
Cedar is more dimensionally stable than many woods. It’s less likely to warp, twist, or crack as temperatures and humidity shift throughout the year.
Looks Better as It Ages
Cedar starts with warm tones and visible grain. Over time, it either weathers evenly to a soft silver-gray or remains stain-free without peeling or blotching.
Long-Lasting Value for PNW Homes
With proper installation and basic care, cedar fences typically last 20–30 years in the Pacific Northwest. That lifespan makes cedar a strong long-term investment for homeowners.

Our Wood Fence Installation Process
Plan It Right
We walk the property, review layout, grade, drainage, and local rules, and confirm fence lines before anything is built.
Set the Structure
Posts are set with the correct depth, spacing, and alignment for wet Pacific Northwest soil.
Build and Finish Clean
Cedar boards are installed evenly, gates are reinforced to prevent sagging, and staining is applied for consistent coverage.
Why Hire PNW for Your Cedar Fence?
Better Cedar Than Box-Store Lumber
We use custom-cut Western Red Cedar, not commodity boards. Higher-grade lumber means straighter fences, cleaner lines, and better long-term performance in wet conditions.
Installed with PNW-Specific Post and Footing Methods
Fence failures usually start below ground. Our post systems and installation methods are chosen specifically for moisture, soil movement, and seasonal weather typical in this region—based on how our team has built fences across the Pacific Northwest.
Pre-Staining Done the Right Way
We offer professional pre-staining and on-site staining options to protect cedar early. This improves coverage, slows weathering, and helps fences age more evenly over time.

Is a Cedar Fence the Right Choice for Your Property?
| What Homeowners Like About Cedar | Things to Consider With Cedar |
|---|---|
| Natural wood look that fits most properties | Requires periodic staining or sealing |
| Custom-built styles and layouts | Color will fade if left untreated |
| Performs well in wet PNW climates | More maintenance than vinyl or metal |
| Easier to repair or modify over time | Needs basic upkeep to reach full lifespan |
| Strong long-term value when properly built | Not a “set it and forget it” fence |
Some homeowners like vinyl or aluminum fencing because it requires less upkeep. Others opt for chain link due to budget or practical reasons. For many homes and rural properties, cedar is the top choice. It offers great looks, flexibility, and lasting performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Wood Fence Installation
How long does a cedar fence installation take?
Installation time depends on fence length, terrain, and design complexity. A standard 100-150 foot cedar fence typically takes 2-3 days. Larger or custom designs may take longer. During your consultation, we’ll provide a timeline estimate based on your project needs.
What sets your cedar fence installation apart?
We use high-quality, custom-cut cedar and metal posts for durability. Unlike many fence companies, we avoid big-box lumber and ground-contact wood posts, which rot faster. Our team consists of skilled fence craftsmen, ensuring precise installation and long-lasting results. Our stellar customer service and impeccable reputation in the Pacific Northwest set us apart from other fence companies.
How much does cedar fence installation cost?
Pricing is computed per linear foot and cost depends on design, cedar grade, and site conditions. Basic privacy fences fall on the lower end of the budget, while custom designs with premium features cost more. We provide detailed estimates after a free consultation that takes into account your specific property needs and investment goals.
Do I need a permit for a wood fence in Lewis County?
Fences under 6 feet often don’t require permits, but exceptions apply, especially for corner lots, easements, historic districts, and HOA-governed properties. We’ll guide you through permit requirements during your consultation and can assist with the process as part of our comprehensive customer service.
How long will a cedar fence last?
A well-built cedar fence can last 20-30 years with proper maintenance. We use premium cedar, metal posts, concrete footings, and galvanized hardware to maximize durability and longevity. Regular cleaning and staining every 3-5 years will further extend its lifespan in the Pacific Northwest landscape.
Can you match my existing fence or create a custom design?
Absolutely! We can match your current fence or design a custom cedar fence to fit your style and needs. Options include different picket styles, decorative accents, and unique gates. Whether for privacy or curb appeal, we deliver expert craftsmanship and quality materials that enhance your property’s beauty and value.
