Written by Alan Bates   
In the Boston area, you'll see a lot of different types of wood fence. In the suburbs, it's common to run across cedar privacy fence in many yards. The city itself however has much smaller yards and more distinct architecture, which means there are many different kinds of fences seen. You don't see quite as many fences in Boston as you will in other cities. This is because while Boston has the fifth highest population density among major U.S. cities, it is also the third smallest in terms of area. The classic look which only wood fence can impart is still popular here though in this city so rich in history that it's literally everywhere you look.

In the Boston area, you'll see a lot of different types of wood fence. In the suburbs, it's common to run across cedar privacy fence in many yards. The city itself however has much smaller yards and more distinct architecture, which means there are many different kinds of fences seen. You don't see quite as many fences in Boston as you will in other cities. This is because while Boston has the fifth highest population density among major U.S. cities, it is also the third smallest in terms of area. The classic look which only wood fence can impart is still popular here though in this city so rich in history that it's literally everywhere you look.

If you're interested in putting up wood fence on your property, then you'll need to determine which fence design best meets your needs and the look of your home. Suburban Bostonians have a lot of options for fencing. 6' cedar privacy fencing is not uncommon in suburban areas, but the traditional stockade picket fence is more common and fits the look of new constructions as well as the older colonial homes and the new homes which take their look as a template.

In the city itself, fencing has more to do with the personal preferences of the homeowner. The brownstones seen in many neighborhoods often have low picket fences to delineate property lines while keeping the feeling of a tight knit community (a trademark of many Boston neighborhoods) intact. In backyard Boston wood fencing, though, you'll see both the low picket fencing common to the front of homes as well as tall basketweave privacy fences which can create a private space even in the most densely populated of urban areas.

Based on homeowners who have located Boston wood fence contractors to build their fencing, we can give you a good idea of how much you'll pay to have a wood fence built. In the Boston area, the cost for most wood fence installation by contractors we work with is somewhere between $1,000 and $4,000, with $2,500 being the average cost with materials and labor. The job generally took a speedy two weeks, with four weeks being the slowest and eight days the fastest. Naturally, the longer the job takes, the more expensive it will tend to be.

For homeowners in Greater Boston, what does all of this mean? It's actually very good news. Since the prices are pretty consistent for wood fencing throughout the area, so as long as you can find a good contractor to build your wood fence and you know what you should be asking for, you'll get a good fence for the cost. The wood you want used is cedar ? a wood which can stand up to the harsh winters and hot, humid summers of New England. Cedar naturally repels moisture, so it's the perfect choice for a fence which needs to stand up to Nor'easters and offshore storms.

To keep your cedar fence looking good and performing well against weather, treat it every five to ten years. It's well worth it for a fence which can take Boston's sometimes tough climate. Other than cedar, pressure treated wood is your next best bet. If you want that fence to last for any length of time, though, be sure to paint it. Last, before committing to any contractor to build your wood fence, look into their track record. It might take a little work, but to get a fence which can stand up to a New England winter, it's well worth it.
