As you start to consider the benefits of fencing your Palm Beach yard and considering what materials to use, you may be wondering how long does wood fence last?

That’s a good question.

The answer lies in what type of wood it is and how it is treated – and Superior Fence & Rail of Palm Beach is here to give you the best advice possible.

How Long Does Wood Fence Last If It’s Pressure Treated Pine?

Superior Fence & Rail uses only the finest grade of pressure treated pine lumber to build your wood fence. We choose Superior lumber because it has an excellent warranty. Superior lumber fence pickets come standard with a minimum 15 year warranty against termite damage and rot. Our posts and horizontal rails come with a lifetime warranty against termite damage and rot. Your wood fence is guaranteed to have a lifespan of 10 to 15 years with regular staining or sealing every two to three years (or more, depending on your conditions) to maximize its life.

Should you wish to have our Superior team add entry points to access your newly wood fenced area, we also provide wooden gate installation near me for your convenience.

When Concerned About Wood Fence Longevity, Are There Other Alternatives I Should Consider?

Another good question. Thanks to innovations in fence technology, there are options that look, and often have the same textured feel as wood. They come in white and various colors, but they are not wood per se.

Our vinyl fences are a great example, and come with a terrific warranty.

Often referred to as PVC fencing, or plastic fencing, our vinyl fencing is the best in the business. Just as our name implies, our fences are Superior in each and every way.

As proof, it is important to point out that Superior fence vinyl products were designed by us, exclusively for our installations. With truly innovative features like, PrivacyLock, SolarShield, StayStrong, and HeartWood, you get more than just a fence; you get the best vinyl fence imaginable.

Our PVC vinyl fence profiles are among the sturdiest in the industry and are backed by a lifetime transferable warranty. You will get a top-quality fence, and most importantly, you will get peace of mind.

Now That I Know How Long A Wooden Fence Lasts, Tell Me More About Superior Vinyl Fencing

Our Superior Fence & Rail enterprise team has worked hard to develop fantastic innovations with our vinyl fencing. These innovations have reduced warranty claims dramatically, giving our customers more peace of mind.

1. PrivacyLock: Unlike traditional tongue and groove fencing, our PrivacyLock actually locks together. This unique locking mechanism eliminates Palm Beach wind penetration and substantially reduces the risk of fence failure in comparison to other vinyl fences. With PrivacyLock, you get security.

2. SolarShield: The harmful rays of the Palm Beach sun can discolor standard vinyl/PVC fencing. This is why all Superior fences come standard with SolarShield, a proprietary acrylic blend that protects your fence from the harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun.

SolarShield is a protective outer layer engineered to significantly reduce oxidation and the damaging effects of the sun’s ultraviolet rays. Even in harsh Florida climates, SolarShield protects the color and sheen of our products for a longer period of time. Simply put, there is no better protection under the sun than SolarShield. With SolarShield, you get protection.

3. StayStrong: To augment your Superior vinyl fence installation, our StayStrong rails are engineered with 33% deeper grooves so that more of the picket embeds in the rail. This allows your fence to withstand greater wind loads and makes your fence stronger. With StayStrong, you get strength.

If you still have your heart set on a wooden fence, here’s one more alternative for your consideration: Heart Wood.

Our exclusive and beautiful HeartWood vinyl fence features both the strength and the beauty of aged wood. HeartWood comes in two amazing color selections: Golden Oak and Red Chestnut. This vinyl fence captures the rich look of wood but without the wood hassle. With HeartWood, you get the beauty of wood without the maintenance.
