When considering your Wood Fencing options, is it better to purchase a less expensive wood that’s been pressure treated, or a more expensive wood that has not? The answer to that will vary greatly by the situation and the area of the country you live in. Pressure treated pine is the standard when it comes to building a long lasting, but affordable, fence. Pressure treated wood may not be the best looking of the wood fencing options, but for the price, it provides excellent resistance to rot and insects. No matter what kind of wood you purchase, you will have the option of applying a weather seal to it to extend its life. If sealed properly and annually, you might get double the duration out of your fence compared to leaving it unsealed.
