Cedar is a popular choice for wood fencing materials. It is immediately recognizable due to its reddish color, white accents, and beautiful grain pattern.

 

If you live in an area that receives lots of rain, a cedar fence will last the longest out of all types of wood. With rain comes bugs, and they can be a nuisance. Cedar secretes the odor of cedar oil, which is a natural insect repellant. After those rains, the cedar fence will help keep the pests out of your yard.
