Why so many Portland homeowners still choose wood
Privacy, picket and good-neighbor wood fences built for a wet climate — across Portland, Hillsboro, Forest Grove, and surrounding communities.
Wood is still the most common fence material around Portland. It's easy to build in almost any style, it can be repaired one board or post at a time, and it fits with the older homes and mature trees that fill so many neighborhoods. The trade-off is that wood needs some care to hold up in a long wet season.
Most of a wood fence's life is decided at the bottom. Posts sit in soil that stays damp for months, and the wood right at the ground line is where rot starts. We set posts with gravel below for drainage and concrete shaped to shed water, and we offer galvanized steel posts that hide behind the boards for fences that face hard wind. A kickboard along the bottom keeps the face boards out of the dirt, and it can be swapped out when it weathers.
For the boards themselves, cedar is the local favorite because it resists rot and stays fairly straight. Pressure-treated lumber is a solid choice for posts and hidden framing. We use exterior-rated, corrosion-resistant fasteners so the fence doesn't streak or start dropping boards as nails rust.
Layout, height, style and gates talked through
Wood, posts and style in writing first
Utilities marked; line strung and checked
Gravel base and sloped concrete, or steel posts
Rails, boards, kickboard, cap and gates
These are the choices and site conditions that change the price.
More fence means more posts, rails and boards.
Cedar, pressure-treated and clearer grades differ in cost.
Good-neighbor, horizontal and lattice-topped styles use more material and time.
Galvanized steel posts cost more up front but don't rot.
Each gate adds heavier posts, framing and hardware.
Slopes, roots, tight access and old fence removal add time.
