Wood & Privacy Fence in Spokane, WA
Cedar and wood privacy fences remain a Spokane favorite when you want a warmer look than vinyl or when you’re fencing longer rural runs. Done right, posts are set for frost, boards are oriented for drainage, and you leave with a realistic maintenance plan for stain or sealant.
Styles
- Board-on-board and side-by-side privacy
- Picket and open styles for front yards where allowed
- Shadowbox looks that soften long runs
- Matching wood gates with sturdy hinges and latches
Maintenance in our climate
Dry summers and wet shoulder seasons work wood hard. UV fades unfinished cedar; trapped moisture behind dense privacy boards invites cupping. We’ll talk stain cycles and whether a vinyl alternative better fits your upkeep goals — see vinyl fence.
