What Cedar Fence Is

Cedar fences are premium wood fences made from naturally rot-resistant cedar lumber. Western red cedar contains natural oils that repel insects and resist decay, making it one of the longest-lasting wood fencing options. Cedar weathers to an attractive silver-gray patina if left unstained.
