At Montgomery Fence Company, installing a new wood fence means more than setting up posts and panels—it involves detailed planning, quality materials, and expert craftsmanship. Every new wood fence project starts with understanding property needs and homeowner preferences to ensure durability, privacy, and aesthetic appeal.
Selecting the Ideal Wood for Your Fence
Choosing the right type of wood is foundational to a successful fence installation. Cedar and pine are commonly preferred materials due to their resilience and appealing natural appearance. Cedar fences resist moisture and pests, making them suitable for the humid Montgomery climate. Pine, though more affordable, requires periodic sealing and maintenance to extend its lifespan.
| Wood Type | Durability | Maintenance | Cost | Best Use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cedar | High | Low | Medium | Privacy fencing, aesthetic enhancement |
| Pine | Moderate | High | Low | Budget-friendly projects |
Designing Your Fence
Accurate measurements and careful planning are critical during fence design. Each fence installation at Montgomery Fence Company incorporates client specifications regarding height, style, and spacing. Privacy fences typically range from six to eight feet, while decorative or boundary fences are shorter, enhancing visibility and curb appeal.

Steps for Proper Fence Installation
1. Preparing the Ground
The installation area is cleared and leveled, ensuring stability for fence posts.
2. Setting Fence Posts
Fence posts are positioned and firmly anchored into the ground with concrete, creating a stable structure for the entire fence.
3. Attaching Fence Rails
Horizontal rails are secured to fence posts, reinforcing the fence structure.
4. Installing Fence Panels or Boards
Wood panels or individual boards are carefully attached to the rails, ensuring uniform spacing and alignment.
5. Finishing Touches
Applying sealants or stains to protect the wood from weather and enhance its visual appeal.
Maintenance Tips for a Long-Lasting Wood Fence
Wood fences benefit greatly from routine maintenance. Montgomery Fence Company recommends annual inspections and necessary repairs to maintain fence integrity. Regular cleaning and resealing every two to three years protect your fence against rot and decay, significantly extending its functional life.
