Cedar Wood Fences
Cedar is a premium choice for Louisiana—naturally resistant to rot and insects, with a warm look that stains beautifully.
Cedar Fence Options
Explore popular cedar fence styles below. Some photos may show the style as an example (not cedar-specific).
Cedar privacy (solid)
Best for backyard privacy, pets, and pool areas. Solid panels also reduce street and neighbor sightlines.
Board-on-board cedar
Extra privacy with a layered look that helps cover gaps as boards shrink and swell in Louisiana humidity. Great for close neighbors and high-visibility yards.
Shadowbox cedar
A “good neighbor” style with boards alternating on each side for airflow and a finished look from both yards. Helpful in windy areas while still offering privacy.
Cedar picket
Classic curb appeal for front yards and gardens. Great when you want boundaries without closing in the space.
Horizontal cedar
A modern look that pairs well with contemporary homes and clean landscaping. Ideal when curb appeal is the priority.
Cedar post-and-rail
Great for larger lots, rural properties, and defining driveways. Keeps an open feel while marking boundaries.
Cedar split rail (if applicable)
A rustic, low-profile option for acreage and property lines. Often paired with wire mesh to help contain pets or livestock.
Cedar ranch rail
Similar to post-and-rail with a clean, ranch-style look. Ideal for long runs along roads, pastures, and larger residential lots.
Cedar lattice-top privacy
Privacy down low with a decorative top that adds light and style. Popular for patios, gardens, and curb-appeal-focused homes.
Cedar scalloped/arched picket
A decorative picket profile that boosts curb appeal for front yards. Great when you want a softer, more custom look.
Cedar dog-eared
A popular privacy style with a classic top cut. A solid choice for backyards, pets, and everyday privacy.
Cedar cap-and-trim
A premium privacy finish with a top cap and clean trim lines. Great for high-end homes and a polished look.
Cedar tongue-and-groove
A tight, clean privacy style that minimizes gaps. Ideal when you want a smooth, finished look and strong privacy.
Cedar hog wire + cedar frame
Open visibility with a strong frame—great for pets, gardens, and keeping views on larger properties. A popular modern-rustic style for Louisiana backyards.

Add post caps, decorative top rails, and upgraded hardware to match your home and improve long-term performance in Louisiana weather.
Cedar vs other woods (Louisiana quick take)
Cedar vs treated pine: Cedar is naturally resistant to rot and insects and tends to stay more stable through Louisiana humidity swings. Treated pine can cost less up front, but it may need more frequent sealing/staining and can be more prone to warping and checking over time.
Popular upgrades
- Stainless or hot-dipped galvanized fasteners for better corrosion resistance
- Concrete-set posts and (where needed) steel posts for extra strength and straighter lines
- Post caps for a finished look and added moisture protection
- Sealing or staining to slow graying and reduce moisture absorption
- Kickboards/rot boards to protect the bottom edge in wet areas
