Are Wood Fences Strong?
Absolutely. A wood fence will remain sturdy and functional if they meet the following criteria:
Properly Install Fence Posts
High-quality fence posts provide structure and add strength to your wood fence. At Bill’s Fence, our posts are expertly installed to maximize the life of your wood fence on your Texas or Arkansas property.
Utilize High-Quality Wood Rails and Pickets
Big box stores and low-budget fence companies cut costs by using poor-quality, low-grade wood rails and pickets. Their prices seem like a steal. . . until you spend excess money on repairs and replacements. At Bill’s Fence, we are committed to using high-quality materials, providing you with a fence that protects you and your loved ones for years to come.
Perform Routine Maintenance
Did you know that wood fences should be inspected at least once a year? Because wood is a natural material, it will eventually deteriorate from years of exposure to the elements. With some routine maintenance and inspections, you can significantly extend the lifespan of your wood fence!
So, are wood fences strong? If you choose to work with a trusted company like Bill’s Fence for your next project, you can have confidence that your fence will stand tall for years to come!
