When choosing a fence for your Central NY property, one of the first decisions you will need to make is which type of fencing material is best for your situation.\u00a0 There are a lot of factors to consider, but in this article we will focus on the pros and cons of wood fencing in Central NY.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wood fences are the most popular type of fence in Central NY,\u00a0 but that doesn\u2019t mean that wood fencing is automatically YOUR best choice.\u00a0 Each situation is different.\u00a0 Here are some expert fencing tips that might help you make the best decision for your next fence.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wood Fences and The Central NY Climate<\/span><\/h2>\n

Unlike other types of fencing, wood fences will eventually fail and will need to be replaced.\u00a0 That being said, wood fences do weather the harsh Central NY climate pretty well.\u00a0 With a little maintenance on your part, your wood fence will look great and remain in good condition for many years to come.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When you factor in the lower cost of most wood fences as compared to other fencing materials like aluminum fence and vinyl fence, wood fences really are a good choice for most Central NY homeowners.<\/span><\/p>\n

Are Wood Fences Strong?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Wood fences are very strong if \u2026\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The Wood Fence Posts Are Installed Properly<\/b>
    \n<\/span>If the posts aren\u2019t strong, the fence won\u2019t be strong.\u00a0 This is one of the main reasons it is so important to hire the right fencing contractor in Central NY like Williams Fence!\u00a0 We have set thousands, actually tens of thousands of wood fence posts.\u00a0 <\/span><\/li>\n
  2. You Use High-Quality Wood Fencing Material<\/b>
    \n<\/span>Many low-budget fence companies use lower-quality wood, which is less dense or has many imperfections.\u00a0 Big box stores like Lowes and Home Depot often carries this lower grade of fencing wood.\u00a0 Fences made from this quality of wood will not stand up to the Central NY climate very well and will fail much more quickly.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. The Boards Are Properly Fastened<\/b>
    \n<\/span>Fence pickets and rails must be fastened properly using the proper exterior-grade hardware.\u00a0 Again, some discount fence companies in the Central NY area save a few dollars by using inferior fasteners.\u00a0 When this happens, the fence loses strength and long-term integrity.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    So the answer to the question, \u201cAre wood fences strong enough to withstand the Central NY weather\u201d is \u2026 it depends!\u00a0 If Williams Fence was the local fence contractor you hired, then absolutely, the answer is YES!\u00a0 Otherwise, there\u2019s no telling.<\/span><\/p>\n
