Materials We Build With
Choosing the right type of wood to use in your fence is an important decision. The type of wood you select will determine how much time and money you’ll have to put into long-term maintenance, as well as the lifespan of your fence. We primarily build our wood fences from Cedar, but we do provide pine as a more budget-friendly option.

Cedar Lumber
- Durability: Cedar is more durable and rot-resistant than pine, so it is more likely to last longer.
- Strength: Cedar is a stronger and more stable wood than pine, so it is less likely to warp or twist over time.
- Insect resistant: Cedar is naturally resistant to insects, while pine is more prone to insect damage.
- Appearance: Cedar has a more attractive appearance than pine, with a warm, reddish-brown color and a fine, straight grain. Pine has a more yellowish color and a coarser, more uneven grain.
- Cost: Cedar is generally more expensive than pine, due to its higher quality and durability.

Side By Side - Dog Ear Top
Installing the boards tightly side by side creates full privacy, while the dog ear top provides a classic, uniform look that complements any home. This style is available in two lumber options, treated pine, and cedar allowing homeowners to choose the best fit for their budget and preferences. Cedar boards naturally resist rot, insects, and warping while pine offers strong structural reliability, resulting in a balanced fence that delivers long lasting performance, curb appeal, and excellent value.

Why NTX Fence Pros?
Galvanized Steel Posts
We use 2-3/8" galvanized steel posts that will outlive you and me. They're strong, won't rust, and gives your fence the structural support it needs to last as long as possible.
Trim
Every wood fence we build comes with a 1x4 trim piece at the top of the pickets to hide the top of the pickets. This creates a clean, seamless look across the entire top of the fence. This also helps fight against any potential warping of the top of the pickets years down the road.
Kickboard
The main cause of pickets rotting is because of direct ground contact. We keep your pickets safe and off the ground by putting a 2x6 pressure-treated kickboard across the entire bottom of your fence, elevating your fence pickets and giving them the best chance at lasting you decades. It's really important to us that your fence lasts you as long as possible.
