Westchester Wood Fences
Over centuries, wooden fences have served a wide variety of purposes. Whether it is agricultural fencing, residential fencing, protecting gardens or lawns, pools or limiting the movement of livestock; there is a wood fence for every need. Contrary to other materials, wooden fences require a lot more analysis and information to choose the correct fencing.
Based on the type of wood, you have the following options to choose from.
- Spruce Fencing
- Cypress Fencing
- Pine Fencing
- Cedar Wood Fencing
- Oak Wood Fencing
Cedar Wood is the most commonly used wood for fences. It contains natural oils as well as acidic substances which function as a great insect repellent. These substances also prevent the wood from rotting and losing shape.
Oak Wood is another popular choice. It is known for strength and durability and is, therefore, the most recommended when it comes to privacy and security concerns.
Pine Wood is regarded by many as the strongest for all outdoor applications. It is a highly adaptable form of wood. When treated appropriately, it is resistant to all kinds of insects and mites.
Cypress Wood is known for its versatility. It is one of the very few types of woods which can be used both for structural and ornamental purposes. It comes in natural brown/red colors.
You have these and many more alternatives, based solely on wood types. In such a situation, we understand that it can become overwhelming to choose the right kind of fencing. However, at Colony Fence, we are committed to providing you with complete wood fence solutions for your residential or agricultural property.
There are numerous style options in wood fences.
Style Options
Shadow Box
This is a more recent, interesting innovation in wood fence. It provides greater privacy as compared to other designs and at the same time does not construct the flow of wind as much as a regular privacy fence. Pickets are placed back and front, nearly parallel to each other. While it gives the look of a closed, privacy fence; there is actually a slight gap in the middle.
Spaced Picket
A variation of the regular picket fence, the spaced picket is a popular option in wood fence. Here, the pickets are placed at longer intervals from each other, thus increasing the esthetic beauty. The most commonly used color for spaced picket style is crystal white, as it radiates elegance and royalty. Recommended heights are from 4 feet through 8 feet.
Lattice
This type of fencing is used primarily to increase the visual appeal of any outdoor area. Consisting of a regular or diagonal criss-cross of perpendicular wooden strips, it is ideal to augment the visible charm of long stretching lawns or any backdoor space. Teaming it up with attractive post caps can give your lawn or home an artsy finish. It is usually built from 5 feet onwards.
