Wood is the most customizable fencing material: it can be built in privacy, picket, shadowbox, or horizontal-slat styles, stained or painted in any color, and shaped to fit an unusual lot line in a way manufactured materials can't match. We typically install pressure-treated pine or cedar, both of which are treated or naturally suited to resist rot and insect damage better than untreated lumber.

What to consider

Wood generally requires more upkeep than vinyl or aluminum in Florida's climate — periodic staining or sealing helps it resist humidity, rain, and termites, and boards can need occasional repair or replacement over the fence's life. See our fence cost guide for pricing, and ask us about our maintenance and repair service for existing wood fences.

Wood Fencing FAQ

How long does a wood fence last in Florida?

A well-built and properly maintained wood fence can last many years in Florida, but humidity, heavy rain, and termite pressure make maintenance more important here than in drier climates. Pressure-treated pine and cedar both hold up better than untreated lumber, and periodic sealing extends the fence's life further.

Does a wood fence need to be sealed or stained?

We recommend it. Sealing or staining a wood fence every couple of years helps it resist Florida's humidity, rain, and sun, and reduces the risk of warping, graying, and rot over time.

What wood is best for Florida humidity?

Pressure-treated pine and cedar are the two most common choices for Florida fencing. Pressure-treated pine is chemically treated to resist rot and insects and is generally the more budget-friendly option; cedar has natural oils that resist decay and insects and is prized for its appearance, typically at a higher cost.

How much does a wood fence cost?
