What is the life expectancy of a wood fence?

The life expectancy of a wood fence can vary depending on a number of factors, such as the type of wood used, the climate in which the fence is installed, and the level of maintenance it receives.

In general, a well-constructed wooden fence made from quality materials and properly maintained can last for 20 years or more. However, untreated wood fences or those made from low-grade materials may only last for a few years before needing to be replaced.

To increase the lifespan of a wooden fence, it is important to use high-quality wood such as cedar or pressure-treated pine, and to apply a wood preservative or sealer to protect the wood from moisture and pests. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning, staining, and repairing damaged sections, can also help extend the life of a wooden fence.
