Wood fences

Cedar & pine fences with real craft

Horizontal slat, board-on-board, shadowbox, and picket. Built board by board by our own crews, warrantied in writing.

Why wood

Warmth that no other material matches

Wood is still the fence most Tampa homeowners picture when they close their eyes: warm, natural, and endlessly customizable. We build with kiln-dried Western Red Cedar and #1 grade pressure-treated pine, set on steel-reinforced posts sized for our summer squalls.

  • Set-deep posts. Posts set 30 to 36 inches in concrete footings, crowned to shed water away from the grain.
  • Stainless and ring-shank fasteners. No streaks, no backing screws, no pops after the first humid summer.
  • Board-by-board culling. Every board is inspected at the trailer; the warped ones ride home with us.

How long does a wood fence last in Florida humidity?

A cedar fence on properly set posts runs 15 to 20 years here, and pine 12 to 15 with periodic sealing. The posts decide everything, which is why ours go deep and get crowned concrete footings.

Do I need a permit in Tampa?

Usually yes for new fence lines and height changes. We pull the permit and schedule inspections as part of every quote, so you never touch paperwork.

Can you match my neighbor's fence?

Almost always. Bring a photo to the design visit, or just point over the property line and we will spec the same profile, height, and stain.
