What is the difference in pressure treated pine and cedar fence, and which one last longer?
Both types of fences last very well. Pressure treated pine lumber is prone to severe warpage, however the treatment process deters insect infestations and rot. Cedar has natural preservatives and while mild warpage should be expected over time it is nowhere near the severity you will experience with pressure treated pine. We do not recommend western red cedar for ground contact, however native cedar lasts very well when used for posts and framework.
