It is very important to use the proper type of wood when replacing or repairing a fence in the high humidity of the Texas area. We use a combination of western red cedar pickets and pressure treated pine for the posts and rails. Cedar is an excellent choice for Texas fences because the wood is very resistant to insects, moisture, and rot. Pressure treated pine is the best choice for wood posts when they contact the ground because it subjects the wood to high moisture and wood burrowing insect exposure. Texian Enterprises is committed to using the highest quality materials for your new fence so that it lasts for many years. Though Pressure treated Pine will last and create a beautiful fence. We recommend some type of water proofing for long lasting beauty and protection for either type of fence at least once every 3-4 years.
