Cedar Fence Installation in San Antonio, TX
Natural, rot-resistant cedar fences and gates built for the Texas sun, with posts set deep in concrete.
Why Homeowners Choose Cedar
Cedar contains natural oils that help it resist rot, decay, and insects, so it holds up well without chemical treatment. It is lighter and more dimensionally stable than pine, which means less warping and twisting. And it looks great: warm reddish tones when new or stained, or a silver-gray patina if you let it weather.
Cedar Fence Styles
- Side-by-side cedar privacy – classic six-foot backyard fence
- Board-on-board cedar – overlapping pickets for full privacy
- Cap and trim – a finished top that also protects picket ends
- Horizontal cedar – modern look for newer homes
- Cedar gates – walk gates and double gates built to match. See gates
Cedar Pickets on a Solid Frame
Cedar pickets resist rot, but the frame still matters most. We set posts 24–36 inches deep in concrete and use three pressure-treated 2×4 rails. Many homeowners pair cedar pickets with galvanized steel posts so the posts last as long as the pickets. A stain and seal keeps the color and slows weathering in San Antonio’s UV.
Compare cedar against pine and other styles in our privacy fence guide and cost guide.
CEDAR FENCE FAQ
How long does a cedar fence last in San Antonio?
Lifespan depends on construction, posts, sun, irrigation, and maintenance. Deep concrete footings, steel posts, and regular sealing extend it the most.
Does cedar need to be stained?
No, but unstained cedar weathers to silver gray. Stain and sealer keep the color and slow cracking and cupping.
Cedar or pine?
Cedar resists rot and insects and stays straighter. Pine costs less. We explain both in your estimate.
Do you build cedar gates?
Yes. We build cedar walk gates and double gates with framing that resists sag.
