Question 7

What is the best fence for privacy?

Accepted Answer

For maximum privacy, we recommend a wood privacy fence (6 ft dog-eared or board-on-board) or a vinyl privacy fence. Both provide a solid barrier with no gaps. Wood offers a natural look and can be stained or painted; vinyl is low-maintenance and won't rot or splinter. We can help you choose the right option for your budget and property.

Question 8

How long does a wood fence last in South Carolina?

Accepted Answer

A properly installed and maintained wood fence typically lasts 15–20 years in South Carolina's climate. Pressure-treated pine and cedar are the most durable options. Regular sealing or staining every 2–3 years will significantly extend the life of your fence.
