Frequently asked Questions

Learn More

How soon can I stain or paint my new fence?

Pressure-treated pine fences need 4–8 weeks to dry before staining or painting, depending on weather. Cedar or cypress can often be finished sooner. A moisture test should be done before applying finishes.

Which style gives the best privacy over time?

Board-on-board styles maintain tight privacy coverage even as boards season and naturally move. Cap-and-trim adds a premium, finished appearance. Tightly spaced horizontal slats can also deliver strong privacy when built with sturdy framing.

What's the best height for backyard privacy?

Six feet is the common backyard privacy fence height in many Florida neighborhoods, but always check local codes and your HOA. Corner lots and pool barriers may have special requirements.

Will my wood fence warp or shrink?

All wood fencing changes slightly as it dries. Using proper spacing, fasteners, and framing helps manage this movement and maintain clean lines. Board-on-board and shadowbox styles are especially good at handling seasonal change and movement.

Is cedar worth the upgrade?

If the budget allows, cedar offers beautiful grain, dimensional stability, and natural resistance. Many customers select a hybrid: PT (pressure-treated) posts for strength plus cedar boards for looks and performance.

Can you hide metal posts?

Yes. Steel posts can be used for strength and then concealed with wood wraps to maintain an all-natural look.

How do I keep the bottom from rotting?

Maintain the grade and avoid constant soil contact. Re-seal regularly. Some designs raise boards slightly or use a rot board (a horizontally run board near the base) to reduce moisture issues.

How long does installation take?

Most residential wood fence projects are completed in 1–3 days after permit/HOA approvals and material delivery. More complex layouts or multiple gates may require additional time. These answers reflect current best practices and expectations for wood fences in Florida’s climate.
