A cedar fence is a viable option for fencing in livestock on your farm property. This type of wooden fence requires minimal maintenance and it lasts for many years. Read the commonly asked questions and the answers below to learn more about cedar fencing before contacting Farm Fence Suffolk County area professionals to erect your fence.
Q.) What are the maintenance requirements of a cedar fence?
A.) To keep your cedar fence looking its best and to help protect the appearance of the wood from weather damage, apply a stain or a sealant to your fence every three years. Cedar will naturally turn gray after several years due to the outdoor elements. If you don’t like the natural gray color, stain or paint your fence any color you choose. If you do favor the weathered look, apply a clear sealant to help prolong the lifespan of your fence. When applying paint, stain or a sealant to your cedar fence, use a paint roller and a paint brush so you can easily reach all areas of the fence.
Q.) How many years does a cedar fence typically last on a farm?
A.) Since cedar doesn’t rot and it’s resistant to insect damage, a cedar fence that’s installed by Farm Fence Suffolk County area professionals can last for 20 years or more. Applying a weatherproof sealant to the wood will help your fence last even longer.
Q.) What are the advantages of erecting a cedar fence on farm property?
A.) A cedar fence is strong and durable, so it’s a good choice for the containment of livestock. Since a cedar fence that’s installed by an experienced Farm Fence Suffolk County area company will last for many years, it’s a cost effective fencing option. A natural wood fence will enhance the appearance of your property while keeping your livestock fenced in and safe.
