We are always asked, "what is better, treated or a cedar privacy fence?" The short answer is Cedar. Hands down you cannot beat a cedar fence for the quality and longevity it offers when it comes to a wood privacy fence.
Let's go into why it is better and show you some examples below.
Cedar pickets offer natural beauty, durability, and resistance to rot and insects without chemical treatments, making them a popular, low-maintenance choice for fencing. They are stable, less prone to warping, and have a pleasant aroma.
Treated pickets, on the other hand, are more affordable and chemically treated to resist decay and insects but may require more maintenance over time. They are also extremely prone to warping.
Cedar is typically preferred for its aesthetic appeal and long-term durability, while treated pickets are chosen for budget-friendly fencing solutions.
It is worth noting that at the end of the day, both options are WOOD, and wood regardless of quality is always prone to warp, bow, and split.
When faced with these options to simplify it, one is less likely to have issues than the other.
