What is the best type of wood to use for my fence?
There are perhaps 10-12 different wood species that are acceptable and commonly used for fence applications. What is best for you will depend on what is readily available in your area and adaptable to the soil and climate conditions on the property works. Spruce and cedar fences with pressure treated posts are great for picket and privacy fences. Locust posts and pressure treated post are great for rail fences.
