Pine fences are known for their affordability and availability. They make great choices for privacy fencing, providing you and your family with the security and privacy that you deserve.
If you’re mulling over pine fencing for your property, here are some of the pros and cons to help you make a great decision.
Pros
Price
Pine fencing is one of the most affordable options for wood fencing. It’s a great choice for homeowners searching for wood fencing on a budget.
Variety of Colors
Pine fencing can easily be stained in a variety of colors. Homeowners with a certain aesthetic and look in mind may enjoy this option.
Great Material for Posts
Pressure-treated pine holds up better over time when exposed to soil. Unlike cedar, the pine posts are less likely to rot and decay as the years go by. Some cedar fences will have cedar boards with pressure-treated pine posts due to their durability.
Cons
Higher Risk of Warping and Damage
Unfortunately, pine fencing is more likely to warp and rot over time. It’s more sensitive to the elements. In just a few years, pine fencing can start to look old and weathered.
Appearance
Pine fencing needs to be pressure treated to have a better chance of withstanding the elements. Pine is typically lighter in color. This means that when the pressure treatment is applied, it won’t have a very natural look. It can even result in the wood having a slightly greenish hue in some parts.
Requires Maintenance
Although pressure-treated pine fencing is more resistant to rot and decay, it still requires a lot of maintenance. It needs regular cleaning, staining, and sealing to avoid drying out and shrinking. This will help it continue looking new.
Average Cost of Pine Fencing
Pine is cheaper than other wood options, and it’s available almost everywhere. While location affects the cost of pine fencing, you can generally expect to pay between $10-$20 per linear foot. A typical residential backyard would be around 150 linear feet, so expect to pay anywhere from $1,500 to $3,000 for a pine fence.
