Materials Typically Used
Pressure-Treated Pine
A strong, cost-effective option for ranch-style fences, especially for long property lines. It’s treated to resist rot and insects, making it a dependable choice for posts and rails. Because it’s a treated softwood, it can shrink or warp as it dries, so good hardware, proper spacing, and sealing help keep everything looking straight over time.
Western Red Cedar
Western Red Cedar is a high-end ranch fence option with natural resistance to rot and insects—no chemical treatment needed. It stays straighter and more stable than many woods, which helps rails and boards keep a clean, crisp line. Cedar can be left to weather into a classic silver-gray, or sealed/stained to preserve its warm tone.
Lotus
Lotus gives ranch-style fencing a premium, standout look with a rich golden color and bold grain that upgrades curb appeal. It’s a great choice when you want a more “custom” finish on traditional rail fencing. A quality seal helps protect the color and reduces surface checking, especially in sun and heat.
