Wood fences - from picket to privacy
Wood fences, whether made of Western red cedar,
cypress, or treated pine, combine the natural beauty of the wood
and a sturdiness that only Mother Nature can provide. Maintained
properly, wood fences can endure the harshest weather and provide
you with several years of serviceability.
Beeson wood fences are built to last. We build each
gate with cedar back rails because cedar doesn't warp; that way,
your gate will always open and close properly. All gates - even
walk-throughs - are secured with a 6" x 6" hinge post;
the industry standard is only 4" x 4".
Our wood fences come in a variety of styles. Just

an example photo:

Privacy fences perform double duty - not only do
they secure the perimeter of your back yard, but they also act as
a privacy and wind screen for your property. These types of fences
can be built to heights as high as 8 feet tall, and come in a variety
of patterns, from a shadowbox with dog-eared
boards to an arched or scalloped look.

Known primarily as a pretty front yard enclosure,
many homeowners are discovering the financial benefit of utilizing
a picket fence in the back yard too. Picket fences are usually shorter
than privacy fences, and have evenly spaced 1½ " gaps between
the boards.
Most picket fences are built to a height of 4 feet,
although we can also make one 3 or 5 feet tall to suit your needs.
Picket fences are best used in situations where a small child or
pet needs to stay close at hand.

Split rail fences are as beautiful as they are historically
significant - they were the most popular kind of farm fence at the
turn of the last century before sawmills became commonplace. Abraham
Lincoln supposedly split rails for a living before he became a lawyer
and got involved in politics.
These types of fences can be built with either two
or three rails, and can be enhanced with the addition of either
barb, hog, or chicken wire if desired.

Similar to split rail fences, wooden post and rail
fences boast 2, 3, or 4 sawed boards to act as rails between the
fence posts, and are commonly seen on farms or large country lawns.
Wire can also be added to these fences.
