Long Lasting
If you’re tired of finding scratches and dents in your current fence, consider upgrading to a pressure treated one. Pressure treated fencing is highly durable, stronger than untreated wood, and can last 20 years or more. It can endure wear and tear better and can also withstand heavy rain and snow.
Insect Resistant
Pressure treated fences don’t just repel insects, the chemicals used to treat the fence kills them. You won’t have to worry about holes in your wood — pressure-treated fences can help keep insects away from your house and garden.
Prevents Fungus and Decay
The preservative process applied helps the wood also withstand microorganisms and fungal decay. That means you get long-term protection against spores that can damage and rot your beautiful fencing.
Maintenance Is Easy
Because of the treatment process, it’s important to keep a pressure-treated fence regularly maintained. However, it’s easy to keep it looking beautiful while prevent cracking. All you need to do is stain, seal, and clean it once a year.
Affordable
One of the most affordable fencing materials around is pressure-treated wood. Compared to other types, such as redwood and cedar, you can save double digits worth per linear foot! So if you’re in search of an economical option that won’t hurt your budget, pressure treated fencing is the way to go.

Frequently Asked Questions

We use Pressure-Treated Brown MicroPro Sienna which comes with colour pigment technology that provides a gorgeous, high-quality finish.

We also use the most durable materials available to provide a beautiful, long-lasting fence option.
Even though the wood has locked-in protection to repel water and protect against UV rays, it’s still important to follow an annual maintenance plan for long-lasting results. Applying a stain or sealant that contains an ultraviolet stabilizer will help to protect the fence from all the elements and keep it looking as nice as the day you installed it.
To keep your pressure-treated fence looking good, you’ll need to apply a quality wood sealant every few years. To know when to apply the sealant, simply drip water on the wood surface every year. If the water quickly absorbs into the wood, it’s time to apply a wood sealant to the fence. If the water forms beads on the surface, it’s still protected.
