Wood Fencing
Our wood fences combine thick pickets, true-sized rails, and deep-set posts to create privacy barriers that look great and stand strong for decades.
Why Choose Wood Fencing
Wood fencing remains the top choice for Columbus homeowners who want the perfect blend of natural beauty, privacy, and value. The Fence Boys have perfected wood fence installation with attention to critical details that create lasting quality.
Deeper Post Installation – We set all posts in concrete at least 32 inches deep, below Central Ohio’s frost line. This essential practice prevents frost heave and ensures your fence remains straight and level through years of seasonal changes.
Premium Cedar Pickets – Our 3/4-inch thick cedar pickets provide substantial advantages over the standard 5/8-inch. That extra thickness reduces warping, improves strength, and extends your fence’s life by years.
Superior Gate Construction – Gates are the first part of any fence to fail. For 5ft and 6ft tall fences, we use 4x6 gate posts on both the hinge and latch sides. This balanced approach keeps your gate aligned and swinging smoothly for decades.
True-Sized Rails – We use actual 2x4 cedar framing rails that maintain your fence’s structural integrity through Ohio’s toughest seasons. These strong rails help your fence stand firm against high winds and heavy snow loads.

Wood Fence Care & Maintenance
Proper maintenance helps your wood fence look great and last longer. Here are our top recommendations:
- Seasonal Inspection – Check your fence twice yearly (spring and fall) for loose boards, protruding nails, or signs of wood damage.
- Surface Protection – Apply a quality water repellent every 2–3 years to maintain appearance and extend your fence’s life.
- Ground Clearance – Keep mulch, soil, and plants at least 2 inches away from the bottom of fence pickets to prevent moisture damage and rot.
- Prompt Repairs – Address loose boards or hardware promptly to prevent more extensive damage.
- Cleaning – Gently clean your fence with a soft brush and mild soap solution once a year to remove dirt, mildew, and debris.
Wood Fence Benefits
Natural Beauty
Wood fences add warmth and natural character to your property. Cedar, in particular, weathers beautifully to a distinguished silver-gray patina over time, or can be stained to complement your home’s exterior.
Value
A well-built wood fence offers exceptional value, balancing upfront cost with decades of service life when properly installed and maintained.
Customization
Wood fences can be easily customized to your exact specifications—height, style, picket spacing, and decorative elements can all be tailored to your property’s unique needs.
Environmental Benefits
Wood is a renewable resource, and cedar naturally resists insects and decay without chemical treatments, making it an environmentally friendly choice.
