The price of hardwood is higher than that of treated pine fencing material, but it is worth the investment if you want something that looks great and will last for many years without any problems.\r\rThere are several types of hardwood that you can use for your new or upgrading an old fence, so you can find one that matches the style of your home and yard. Some of the most popular varieties include cedar, oak, and walnut. All of these timbers have unique characteristics that make them appealing for different fence applications.\r\rCedar is a good timber fencing choice if you're looking for durable wood that's resistant to decay and insects. It has a natural resistance to moisture, making it ideal for use in humid climates. It also contains natural oils that help repel water and prevent warping over time.\r\rOak is an excellent choice if you need a strong, durable timber fence for high traffic areas or keep animals in or out of your yard. Its durability makes it less likely to warp than other types of wood like cypress pine. \r\rWalnut is another quality choice if you're looking for a stronger picket fence wood that's more resistant to rot, insects and termites than untreated cypress pine lumber.
