Types of Wood Fencing
Colorado Springs Fence Company builds and repairs a variety of wooden fences including:
Cedar Picket Fences
Create classic curb appeal with a cedar picket fence featuring custom top cuts and spacing. From traditional pointed pickets to unique decorative patterns, we build picket fences that add character and charm to your front yard. Cedar’s natural rot resistance makes it ideal for Colorado’s variable moisture and temperature conditions.
Custom Wood Privacy Fences
Our cedar privacy fences combine beauty with functionality, providing seclusion while showcasing wood’s natural warmth. Choose from dog-ear pickets, flat-top designs, or horizontal installations for a modern look. We can incorporate decorative post caps, lattice tops, or custom spacing to create exactly the privacy fence you envision.
Split Rail Fences
Add rustic charm to your property with traditional split rail fencing. Perfect for defining boundaries without blocking views, split rail fences work beautifully for larger properties, farms, and ranch-style homes. For properties with smaller animals, we can add welded wire to the inside of split rail fencing to prevent escapes while maintaining the fence’s aesthetic appeal.

Wood Fence FAQs
Get answers to common questions about our fencing services.
Western red cedar is the preferred standard for privacy fences in Colorado's climate. While many of our competitors use cheaper woods like pine or spruce to reduce costs, cedar's natural oils provide superior rot and insect resistance. Cedar withstands our freeze-thaw cycles, intense UV exposure, and moisture variations better than alternatives, making it the smart long-term investment despite higher initial costs.
With proper care and maintenance, quality wood fences last 20 years or more in Colorado. Cedar fences typically outlast pine or other softwood fences by 5-10 years. Adding steel posts can extend your fence's life even further.
Staining or sealing isn't required, but it significantly extends your wood fence's life and preserves its color. Unstained cedar naturally weathers to an attractive silver-gray over time. Staining protects against moisture, UV damage, and premature aging while allowing you to choose your preferred color.
Cedar fence pricing varies based on fence height, project size, terrain difficulty, and design complexity. Taller fences require more materials and labor. Larger projects qualify for better per-foot rates. Slopes and obstacles increase installation difficulty and costs. The best way to get accurate pricing is to contact us for a free estimate based on your specific project requirements.
Picket fences feature individual vertical boards (pickets) with spacing between them, creating decorative fencing that defines boundaries without blocking views entirely. Privacy fences use larger, closely-spaced pickets (typically dog-ear or flat-top style) installed with no gaps, creating a solid barrier that blocks sightlines and provides seclusion.
