Classic Charm. Natural Durability. A Fence That Gets Better With Age.
Red Cedar has been a go-to fencing material in New England for a long time and it earns that reputation every time. It is naturally resistant to rot and insects, weathers to a beautiful silver-gray patina over the years, and brings a warmth and rustic character that synthetic materials just cannot replicate.
Round Hill Fence sells and installs Red Cedar split rail fencing across Vermont and New Hampshire. Whether you need a short decorative run along a garden bed or a full property boundary fence, we install as much or as little as your project calls for. Take a look at our completed projects below.
Red Cedar delivers a combination of good looks and real durability that makes it one of our most popular split rail options. Here is what sets it apart:
Give Jesse and the VT Round Hill Fence team a call. We will come out, take a look at your property, and put together a free estimate. No pressure, no obligation.
Red Cedar typically lasts 15 to 25 years depending on conditions and how it is installed. Posts set in ground contact will experience more wear than rails, but overall it is one of the more durable natural wood options available for split rail fencing in New England.
No - Red Cedar's natural oils make it resistant to rot and insects on its own. You can leave it to weather naturally, which many people prefer for the silver-gray patina it develops over time. If you want to preserve the original warm reddish tone, a UV-protective finish can help.
Both are solid choices for split rail fencing. Black Locust has the edge on raw durability and lifespan - it can last 40+ years in ground contact. Red Cedar is a great option if you want a classic cedar look and a lower upfront cost while still getting strong natural rot resistance.
Rail fencing on its own has open gaps between rails. Adding wire mesh or woven wire behind the rails gives you a clean, effective enclosure for dogs, horses, and livestock without losing the rustic look.
Always. Contact us or give us a call and we will come out to your property at no charge.
