So you're looking to purchase a wood fence and are not sure whether you should go for pressure treated pine or cedar lumber? First you will want to understand the basic advantages of each lumber and then make a decision on what is best for you.
Basic Advantages of Pressure Treated Pine Fence Lumber
The major advantage of pressure treated pine lumber over cedar, is its affordability. This is especially the case with fence posts. Pressure treated pine weathers into a golden brown color and is highly rot and decay resistant, especially underground.
Basic Advantages of Western Red Cedar Fence Lumber
Cedar on the other hand has beautiful variations in color that make it very esthetically pleasing. It has a natural resistance to rot and decay and holds its dimensions better than pine (less likely to warp).
