Overview
Why cedar is still the Fort Worth favorite.
Cedar looks warm the day it goes up and takes stain beautifully. It naturally resists rot and insects, stays straighter than pine as it dries and is lighter to handle, which is why it is such a common choice for privacy fences across North Texas.
Not every cedar fence is built the same. Board grade, thickness and fastening all show up over time, and so does what holds the fence up. Many cedar fences here pair cedar boards with galvanized steel posts for rot resistance in clay soil, plus a pressure-treated rot board along the bottom to keep the pickets off the ground.
Finishing details make a cedar fence look custom: a top cap and trim board, a stained finish and gates built to match. Every one of those choices goes in your written quote.

Cedar fence styles and details.
Side-by-side cedar
Boards butt edge to edge for a clean, classic look at a lower price. Small gaps between boards are normal as cedar dries.
Cap and trim
A horizontal cap across the top and a trim board below it give a finished, furniture-like look and help shed water off the top of the pickets.

Local know-how
Cedar under the Texas sun.
Unstained cedar turns silver-gray within months under Fort Worth sun. Some homeowners love that look; most prefer to stain within the first season to keep the warm color and slow weathering.
Re-staining every few years keeps a cedar fence looking new, and south- and west-facing runs often need it sooner.

Fence FAQs
Cedar Fences: your questions, answered.
What Fort Worth property owners ask about cedar fences.
More fence questionsHow long does a cedar fence last in Fort Worth?
With good posts, proper installation and regular staining, a cedar fence can last many years. The posts and the bottoms of the boards usually fail first, which is why steel posts and a rot board are popular upgrades here.
Is cedar worth it over pine?
Cedar costs more but resists rot and insects naturally, warps less and takes stain more evenly. Pressure-treated pine is a budget-friendly option. Many fences combine both: cedar boards with treated rails or a treated rot board.
Should I stain my new cedar fence?
Staining is optional but recommended. It slows graying, protects against moisture and keeps the color even. Stain once the wood is dry enough for the product you choose.
What does cap and trim mean on a cedar fence?
A cap is a horizontal board along the top of the pickets; trim is a narrower board just below it. Together they give the fence a finished, framed look and protect the top end grain from water.
How much does a cedar fence cost in Fort Worth?
Cedar fences are priced by the linear foot. Height, board-on-board versus side-by-side, cap and trim, post type, gates, tear-out and stain set the total. Your written quote lists each item.
