Wood privacy fence, installed

The classic backyard fence. Pressure-treated pine is the value pick. Cedar resists rot and insects without treatment, and board-on-board closes the gaps that open as boards shrink.

Posts are set in concrete below the local frost line and rails are screwed, not nailed. Pickets are dog-ear by default; board-on-board overlaps every picket so the fence stays private after the wood dries.

Staining or sealing is optional at install and worth doing within the first year on cedar. You can also book it later as a return visit.

Questions

Cedar or pressure-treated pine?

Pine costs less and lasts 10 to 15 years when stained. Cedar costs a few dollars more per foot, needs no chemical treatment, and holds its color and shape better.

How tall can my privacy fence be?

Six feet is standard and allowed almost everywhere in a back yard. Eight feet needs a permit in most cities, so the rep confirms it on your video call before it is priced.

Do you remove the old fence?

Yes. Old fence removal and haul-away is priced per foot and added to your range when you tick it in the quote tool.
