Yes! D-Fence Customs specializes in crafting exquisite cedar fences of exceptional quality. A properly constructed and maintained cedar fence should last 30 years. That being said, we don’t undertake a lot of such projects, ensuring we only create the highest quality fences possible. However, when we do construct wooden fences, we only work with Clear or #1 American milled cedar pickets, a three-rail design, a sturdy baseboard, and a cedar top cap. We never use inferior cedar or upland cedar pickets. Additionally, all our wooden gates feature structurally designed and fabricated metal frames to ensure they withstand the test of time. We also ensure all our fences are aesthetically pleasing, with stunning structures. It’s why we prefer to apply stains and sealants to enhance the fence’s aesthetics and durability.
