Answering the Question: How Long Does A <\/b>Cedar Fence<\/b><\/a> Last?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Anyone who\u2019s opened a cedar chest can instantly bring to mind that unique smell. The pungent cedar oil that\u2019s responsible for the scent of the wood is also what gives cedar its famous<\/span> insect repellent qualities<\/span><\/a>. From termites and other ants, to cockroaches, and even mosquitos, the compounds and acids in cedar oil deter insects naturally. And just like a coat of oil-based stain or paint, natural cedar oil provides the wood with protection against moisture.<\/span><\/p>\n

Moisture and insects are the two major reasons a wooden fence will fail, and a cedar fence\u2019s natural resistance is why it will outlast a typical wooden fence under normal conditions. Cedar wood experts claim that a cedar fence should last between <\/span>15 and 40 years<\/span><\/a> (compared to between 15 and 20 years for a typical wooden fence) You can\u2019t ignore the natural cedar oil, but the true secret to longevity is starting with a high quality and expertly installed cedar fence\u2013like the selections from Superior Fence & Rail\u2013and following up with proper maintenance.<\/span><\/p>\n
