Best Austin Handyman and Remodeling recently completed a modern cedar privacy fence for an Austin homeowner. The installation involved replacing an older fence with a durable design featuring 3/4″ cedar planks supported by metal posts.



The cedar’s rich tones and distinct grain patterns complement any outdoor space, while the tightly spaced boards provide maximum privacy. The metal posts prevent wood-to-ground contact, which helps protect the fence from early wear and extends its lifespan.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why should I choose cedar for my fence?
Cedar is a popular choice for fencing because it’s naturally resistant to rot, decay, and insects. It also has a beautiful natural grain that enhances the look of your yard.
2. What are the benefits of using metal posts instead of wood?
Metal posts are more durable than wood posts. They resist rot and warping and provide extra stability.
3. Does a cedar fence require much maintenance?
Cedar fences are low maintenance but benefit from occasional care to stay in top condition. A weather-resistant stain or sealant helps protect the wood from moisture and UV rays.
4. How do metal posts impact the look of the fence?
Metal posts can be hidden behind the wood panels or incorporated into the design of your fence.
5. Can I customize the design of my cedar privacy fence?
Yes, cedar fences are highly customizable. You can choose different heights and board styles or add decorative elements like lattices or gates. Our team works with you to create a fence that fits your home and style.
6. How long does it take to install a cedar privacy fence?
