Wood Fence Installation Specialists FAQs for Roxborough Homeowners
How long does a wood fence last?
With proper maintenance, a cedar fence can last 20-25 years, while pressure-treated pine typically lasts 15-20 years.
Do I need to exact seal my wood fence immediately?
For pressure-treated wood, it's best to wait 3-6 months for the wood to dry out before staining. Cedar can be stained immediately.
Is wood fencing good for dogs?
Yes. Solid board or shadowbox styles provide a secure visual barrier that reduces barking triggers compared to open fences.
Do I need a permit for a fence in Roxborough?
Yes, the City of Philadelphia (L and I) requires a zoning permit for all new fence installations. We assist our clients in the application process to ensure your fence is legally compliant.
What is the best fencing for Roxborough's hilly terrain?
For the steep grades common in Roxborough and Manayunk, we recommend our ornamental aluminum or stick-built wood fencing, as they can be precisely racked or contoured to match your yard's unique slope.
How long does a fence estimate take in Northwest Philly?
