Wood Fence Installation: Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our wood fence installation service in South Carolina.
What wood do you use for privacy fences here?
Pressure treated Southern yellow pine for framing and pickets, the only wood that reliably handles Lowcountry moisture and insects at a workable price. Cedar looks great but costs substantially more and still weathers hard in our humidity.
How long does a wood fence last in the Lowcountry, and how do I extend it?
Expect 12 to 18 years from a well built pressure treated fence here, and the single biggest life extender is sealing or staining every 2 to 3 years starting one year after install. Keeping sprinklers off the pickets matters more than people think.
Board on board or standard privacy, what is the difference?
Standard privacy butts pickets edge to edge, which opens small gaps as wood shrinks; board on board overlaps pickets so there is no sight line even after shrinkage. Board on board uses about 30 percent more lumber and prices accordingly.
When can I stain my new pressure treated fence?
Wait until the wood dries out, typically 4 to 8 weeks in summer, longer in humid stretches, water should soak in rather than bead on the surface. Staining too early traps moisture and the finish peels within a year.
Which way does the finished side of the fence face?
Toward your neighbor or the street, with rails and posts on your side, that is the norm nearly every Lowcountry HOA writes into its rules. We orient it correctly by default and flag any HOA that specifies otherwise.
