Wood is the most common backyard fence in Salt Lake City, and the climate asks two things of it. Posts have to go below the city's 30 inch frost depth so they do not lift in winter. Boards need sealing, because the sun at this altitude dries and cracks bare lumber quickly. We build privacy, picket and board-on-board fences in cedar and treated wood, and we keep sprinklers in mind when we set the line.
Every property owner is offered a gazillion of options when the choice for fence material is in question. The selection may prove to be difficult for some. On the other hand, some people already have a material in mind. For others, they have a checklist of qualities they need in their fence. Still, there is that unique group of people who are already set on a certain material.
For some, the material that they will get without question is wood. After all, you can never go out of style if you choose something that is classic, and yet can still carry a subtle modern touch. Truthfully, wood can make your property look more elegant. It speaks a lot about a property owner. Since wood requires more maintenance as compared with other materials, using wood is often associated with being meticulous, detail-oriented, and having a well-kept property.
A lot of modern methods today have allowed other materials that are not wood to look like wood. But the original still gives a lot more that imitation materials cannot replace. It can give homes a cozy and organic appearance, especially when paired with classic and well-maintained landscaping.
There are many types of wood used in the setting of fence installation in Salt Lake City. Among the popular choices in our area is cedar and pine. If you are interested in having wooden fences installed, you should try to find out more about the differences between each wood type, and how it can affect your fence. For instance, it may be advantageous to use cedar because it is hard, durable, and does not attract termites.
A word of caution in choosing wooden fences is that the property owner must be willing to maintain it to keep its quality and beauty.
