True Western Red Cedar, heavy-gauge steel posts, and 2×4 runners — installed with the precision and care that separates Legacy Fence from every other contractor in the OKC metro.
Not all cedar fences are created equal. Legacy Fence uses true Western Red Cedar — not the knockoff "Japanese cedar" that warps and rots faster — installed with proper post depth and structural components that ensure your fence stands straight and strong for decades.
Most wood fence failures aren't visible when the fence is new. The problems are hidden in the post depth, the lumber grade, the runner size, and the bracket quality. By the time you see the fence leaning or the boards warping, the damage is already done.
At Legacy Fence, we build wood fences the way they should be built from the start — with materials and methods that prevent those problems before they ever begin.
We use true Western Red Cedar, which is naturally resistant to rot and insects and holds up far better than inferior lumber species. Our posts are set to the correct depth for Oklahoma's clay soil and wind loads, using heavy-gauge steel that won't flex or fail. We use 2×4 runners — never the weaker 2×3 material — and secure everything with Simpson Strong-Tie brackets for connections that hold over time.
The result is a wood fence that looks great on day one and still looks great 15 years later.
Every style uses the same quality materials and installation standards. The difference is in the look.
The most popular style in Oklahoma. Overlapping boards provide complete privacy with a classic, clean look that complements any home.
Boards installed side-by-side for maximum privacy. Clean, uniform appearance with no gaps. Ideal for backyard privacy and noise reduction.
Classic American style with spaced pickets. Perfect for front yards, decorative boundaries, and properties where visibility is desired.
A properly installed wood fence using quality materials can last 15–25 years or more. The key factors are the lumber species (Western Red Cedar is far superior to cheaper alternatives), post depth, and the quality of the steel posts. Legacy Fence's installations are built to the upper end of that range.
Staining or sealing a cedar fence is optional but recommended to extend its life and maintain its appearance. Western Red Cedar naturally resists rot and insects without treatment, but a quality stain or sealant can significantly extend the fence's lifespan and keep it looking great longer.
True Western Red Cedar has natural oils that make it resistant to rot, insects, and moisture. Many contractors use cheaper "Japanese cedar" or mixed species lumber that looks similar but lacks these properties — leading to faster warping, rotting, and failure. Legacy Fence uses only true Western Red Cedar.
Wood privacy fences typically range from $25–$45 per linear foot installed, depending on height, style, and site conditions. We provide free, detailed estimates with no hidden fees. Contact us to get an accurate quote for your specific project.
