Wood privacy fences in Lubbock, TX
Cedar or treated pine, built with the posts, rails and gates to take a West Texas wind season after season.
Privacy that holds up to the wind
A solid wood fence gives you a private yard, keeps pets in and cuts down on dust and noise. In Lubbock the main enemy is wind, so how the fence is built matters as much as what it's made of.
Wood options
Cedar: naturally more resistant to rot and insects, and stays straighter. Costs more up front.
Pine (treated): the budget choice. Needs sealing or staining to last, and may warp more as it dries.
Ask us for current material pricing; lumber costs move.
Common styles
- Dog-ear or flat-top pickets
- Board-on-board, which hides gaps as wood shrinks
- Side-by-side pickets
- Cap rail and trim for a finished look
- Walk gates and wide drive gates
How we build for wind
- Posts set in concrete, deep enough to resist leaning
- Post spacing matched to the fence height and style
- Rails fastened with screws or ring-shank nails, not just a few nails
- Gates framed and braced so they don't sag
- Clearance at the bottom for drainage and yard work
Keeping a wood fence looking good
Wood needs a little care. A sealer or stain applied after the wood has had time to dry out protects against sun and the occasional soaking rain. Re-coat every few years. Keep sprinklers pointed away from the boards, and trim back anything that grows against the fence.
