One of my favorite aesthetics is natural cedar in a temperate mountain climate.
I've talked to many different people about privacy fencing over the years, and there's been as many opinions as ideas on what the perfect fence is. Metal chainlink lasts longest and is the most secure, but privacy is minimal, even with privacy screening added.
Cedar plank board is most commonly what people desire. The cedar looks good, lasts a long time, and provides both visual and auditory privacy, to a degree. But then you have the dilemma of posts, and finish. 4x4 pressure treated and no stain is hands down the most common, if nothing else because it's the cheapest. Often ppl will even use fir or pine instead of cedar, even tho it doesn't last as long.
Well, that's what my old fence was.... Let's take a deep dive together and explore what makes a good fence!
