Why Wood is Still a Great Fence Material
Humanity has relied on timber for most of its history, from starting fires to building houses. Granted, it isn’t as durable or resistant to the elements as aluminium, steel or stone, but it outperforms them in some areas.
Cost-Effectiveness
All our fencing options may be cost-effective, but wood is the most cost-effective of them. It’s cheaper to make and repair, which is a plus, given how costly a fencing project can get.
Eco-Friendly
This might sound somewhat counterintuitive. However, many suppliers have begun supplying wood from tree farms or managed forests. This eliminates the need to strip natural forests bare.
Good Durability
Wooden fencing is durable enough to fulfil most needs, especially if it’s made from hardwood trees. To make it more resilient, the wood used undergoes treatment using chemicals.
Boosts Resale Value
If you’re looking to sell your house in the future, adding timber fencing can increase its value in the real estate market. Of course, this is provided that the wooden fence has been properly maintained.
Natural Beauty
Urban dwellers would want to see a natural landscape amid the concrete jungle, and a wooden fence may be able to help. Set one up as a standard fence or backdrop in a landscape design.
Design Variety
Wood can be shaped into simple or intricate designs and finishes. It can also be customised to fit specific areas by cutting it to shape on-site, contributing to its cost-effectiveness.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long can a timber fence last?
Treated pine fencing can last far longer than raw timber. However, given that it’s exposed to the elements 24/7, it’s important to maintain it regularly. If done so, a timber fence can last for upwards of 15 years.
How do I care for a timber fence?
Maintaining a wooden fence requires a combination of washing (typically with a dishwashing solution), repairing or replacing worn-down panels and applying layers of preserves and sealants for extra protection from the elements.
Why do you use sawn treated pine for your timber fencing?
Pine is a widely known and abundant type of wood, not to mention easier to harvest due to it being a softwood, which is less dense than hardwood. Although this makes it susceptible to decay, it gets treated for added protection before use.
What is the cost of a timber fence?
The cost depends on several factors, such as the total length, the type of wood used and the design. If you want to know how much your dream timber fence will cost, you can ask us for a free quote.
