Wood Fences

Why Muncie Homeowners Choose Wood

There's something special about a wood fence. It's warm, natural, and fits right in with Indiana's landscape. Whether you want complete privacy, a decorative border, or a secure barrier for pets and kids, wood gives you exactly what you need. Plus, it's one of the most affordable ways to add value and curb appeal to your home.

Popular Wood Fence Styles

Your fence should match your home and meet your needs. Here are the styles Muncie homeowners request most:

• •Privacy fences: Solid panels that block views and create a private outdoor space
• •Picket fences: Classic look with spaced vertical boards, perfect for front yards
• •Split rail fences: Rustic style ideal for larger properties and decorative boundaries
• •Board-on-board: Overlapping boards that provide privacy while allowing airflow
• •Shadowbox: Alternating boards on both sides create an attractive fence from any angle

Not sure which style works best? We'll walk you through your options and help you choose the right design for your property and budget.

The Best Wood for Indiana Weather

We use premium pressure-treated pine for most wood fences in Muncie. It's treated to resist rot, insects, and moisture damage from our humid summers and snowy winters. This treatment adds years to your fence's life and keeps maintenance simple.

For homeowners who want premium options, we also work with cedar. Cedar naturally resists decay and has a beautiful grain that weathers to a silvery gray. It costs more upfront but offers exceptional durability without chemical treatments.

We'll help you choose the right wood based on your budget and how much maintenance you want to do. Both options give you a strong, attractive fence that protects your property for years to come.

Keeping Your Wood Fence Looking Great

Wood fences need some care to stay in top shape. Here's what we recommend for Muncie's climate:

Stain or seal every 2-3 years. This protects the wood from moisture and UV damage. It's a weekend project most homeowners can handle, or we can take care of it for you.

Clean annually. A simple wash with mild soap and water removes dirt and mildew. This keeps your fence looking fresh and helps you spot any boards that need attention.

With basic maintenance, your wood fence can last 15 to 20 years or more. It's a small investment of time that protects your larger investment in your property. Need help with maintenance or repairs? Our fence repair services keep your wood fence in excellent condition.
