+2 photosCan a Cedar Fence Stand Up to Gresham's East Wind?
Cedar is the fence most Gresham owners want, and the east side asks more of it than most places: strong winter winds on the boards, wet ground at the posts, and slopes to follow.
Yes, if it's built for it. Cedar boards are light and stay fairly straight, but a solid 6-foot cedar fence still presents a big flat face to winter east winds from the Gorge. The boards aren't what fail. The posts are. So every Gresham cedar fence we build sits on posts sized and spaced for the lot, and on exposed lines we put galvanized steel posts behind the cedar where nobody sees them.
Height is simple to get wrong with a topper. Gresham caps fences at 6 feet and counts lattice toward that number, so a lattice or slat topper means a shorter solid section underneath. In the front 10 feet of the lot the limit is 4 feet, which suits a lower cedar fence or open picket.
Plenty of Gresham lots slope, especially near the buttes. Cedar works well stepped down a hill in level sections, and the city measures height from the highest ground within 5 feet of the shared line, so we set each step to stay inside it.

What Affects the Cost of a Cedar Fence in Gresham
These are the choices that set the price of a cedar fence here.
Post type and spacing
Steel posts and tighter spacing for wind add to the cost but add years.
Slope
Stepped cedar sections take more cutting and fitting than flat runs.
Style and topper
Cap-and-trim, good-neighbor and lattice designs use more cedar.
Board grade
Clearer cedar looks cleaner and costs more.
Old fence removal
Clearing a storm-damaged fence first adds time.

Gresham Cedar Fence Questions
Will steel posts show on my cedar fence?
No. They sit behind the boards on the inside face, and the cedar covers them from the street side.
Can I add a lattice topper to a 6-foot cedar fence in Gresham?
Not on top of a full 6 feet. Gresham counts lattice toward the height, so the solid part gets shorter to make room for the topper.
Does cedar hold up in Gresham's wet winters?
The boards do well. The posts are what need care, so we drain each hole with gravel, slope the concrete and keep the cedar off the ground with a kickboard.
Can a cedar fence follow my sloped Gresham yard?
Yes. We step it in level sections or rack it to the grade, measured from the high ground within 5 feet of the shared line.
