Materials Built for Our Coastal Climate

Selecting the right fencing material is crucial for ensuring longevity in Humboldt County's demanding environment.

Redwood & Cedar

Local redwood offers natural beauty and impressive dimensional stability. The heartwood grades contain natural compounds that resist decay and insects. With proper maintenance, these wood fences can last decades in our coastal climate.

Vinyl

Exceptionally popular in coastal areas due to its outstanding resilience and minimal upkeep. Impervious to moisture, salt air, rot, and pests, vinyl doesn't warp, crack, or peel, requiring only occasional cleaning to maintain its appearance.

Aluminum

Offers exceptional durability for coastal environments with natural resistance to rust and corrosion, even in salty air. It forms a protective oxide layer that prevents degradation while requiring minimal maintenance.

Pressure Treated

a budget-friendly fencing option chemically treated to resist rot, decay, and insect infestation, making it suitable for damp climates like Humboldt County. While the treatment enhances durability, especially for posts and rails in ground contactregular maintenance, including cleaning and applying a protective sealant or stain every few years, is recommended, particularly to combat moisture and UV exposure.

Chain Link

highly practical and often the most affordable fencing solution available. Made from steel wires woven into a mesh pattern, it is known for its strength and durability. Modern chain link is typically galvanized (zinc-coated) or vinyl-coated, offering good resistance to rust and weather, which is especially beneficial in coastal or humid areas. It requires very little maintenance. The main drawback is its utilitarian appearance and lack of privacy, although privacy slats can be added.

Split Rail

Split rail fencing offers a simple, rustic aesthetic ideal for defining boundaries on larger properties or in rural settings without obstructing views. Typically constructed from durable woods like cedar, pine, or locust, it consists of posts with holes or notches to hold horizontal rails, often split lengthwise for a rugged look. This style is known for its relative affordability, ease of installation

Hog Wire Fencing

originally designed for agricultural use to contain livestock, features panels of heavy-gauge steel wire welded into a grid pattern. It has become increasingly popular in residential settings for its unique blend of rustic and modern aesthetics, often framed with wood or metal posts and rails. Hog wire is valued for its durability, strength, and ability to provide security while maintaining open visibility.‍

Deer Fencing

Specifically designed to exclude deer from gardens, agricultural fields, or entire properties, preventing damage to plants and crops. Effectiveness relies heavily on proper height; fences should generally be at least 7 to 8 feet tall, and potentially higher on sloped terrain, as deer can jump significant heights but are more likely to go under or through gaps. Common materials include strong woven wire mesh or high-tensile wire, ensuring the fence acts as a physical barrier. Proper installation, ensuring the fence is secured tightly to the ground, is crucial for success.

Garden Fences

protect garden beds from pests or pets, define specific outdoor areas, or add a decorative element to the landscape. Due to the varied needs, many different materials are used. Wood (like cedar or redwood) offers a natural look, vinyl provides low maintenance, and metal (like aluminum or wrought iron) adds strength and elegance.
