Cedar fence installation Markham, ON

Picture
Markham Fence is pleased to provide superior quality fencing materials for your home or business.  One of our popular requests is cedar fencing, and we will talk about its extensive features that make it a great choice for homeowners.

Cedar wood has inherent properties that make it an attractive enclosure choice: long lifespan, fairly easy to maintain, naturally resistant to pests, beautiful, eco-friendly…the list goes on.

What is the life expectancy of a cedar fence?

On average, it lasts around 20 years before needing a replacement.

How does a cedar fence compare to a pressure treated fence?

There are few categories of comparison, and you’ll have to decide which categories you value more over others.  Take a look at the table below which illustrates the comparison between cedar and pressure treated fencing, the latter usually made out of a pine species.
