Our Cedar Fencing

At Meridian Fence, we offer a premium selection of cedar fencing—an enduring favorite known for its natural strength, beauty, and longevity. Cedar has stood the test of time as a go-to material for outdoor fencing, thanks to its exceptional durability and resistance to the elements. We source both Western Red Cedar (commonly from Oregon) and Inland Red Cedar (often from Northern Idaho), each valued for their straight grain, rich color, and minimal knots. Naturally infused with oils that resist rot and decay, cedar also resists warping and shrinking—unlike many other wood types. The result? A stunning, low-maintenance fence that looks great and performs beautifully for years to come.

Our Cedar Styles

Not all cedar is created equal. In fact, there are usually 3 different types of grades and several different sizes. When thinking about purchasing a cedar fence, grade should always be at the top of the list. Most contractors use a #3 grade which is usually the least expensive and lacks on the quality. Normally a #3 grade board or picket will have several knots, which down the road can and most likely lead to holes and defects. Also, the contractor grade of wood typically has one good side to it and the other side will have some type of crack, gouge, split or rot. Most homeowners will stick with the better quality wood to prolong the life span.

 

Choosing the Right Cedar for a Long-Lasting Fence

It is also important to know the size of cedar you are getting. If you are looking to put up a dog ear cedar fence, you want to make sure you use the correct size rail and proper amount of them. If your cedar pickets are ¾” or less, you will want to add a 3rd rail in the middle because your fence will bow with the sun. When choosing your cedar, it is important to ask if it is kiln dried or green. This is an important question because if the cedar is still green (wet), when the summer time comes it will shrink and leave cracks between your pickets. When the picket(s) are kiln dried, it takes up to 80% of the moisture out and you normally don’t have the issues like shrinking and waiting for it to dry out so it can be stained.

Cedar fence can also be pressure treated or stained. Each additive helps protect the longevity of the fence so that it will last. If taken care of properly, a cedar fence can last over 20 years. By properly staining your fence, it will allow the wood to maintain its integrity.
