Why Cedar Privacy

The Natural Choice for Total Privacy

There's a reason cedar has been the go-to privacy fence material in New England for generations. It's naturally resistant to rot, insects, and moisture. Solid panel construction means no gaps and no sight lines. Tongue and groove and board on board styles create an unbroken visual barrier that gives you true seclusion. It weathers beautifully over time, turning a distinguished silver-gray if left untreated, or it can be stained to hold its warm golden tone for years.

At Arrow Fence, we don't just install cedar privacy fences. We build them. Every panel, post, and gate is assembled by our own craftsmen in our East Hampton workshop, then installed on-site by the same team. That level of control means tighter joints, straighter lines, and a finished product that holds up to decades of Connecticut weather.

From simple stockade fencing for a backyard boundary to elaborate tongue-and-groove panels with lattice toppers and custom arbor gates, we've built it all. Your fence should reflect your home, your taste, and the way you live outdoors. We'll help you get there.

Lattice Topped

Add airflow and visual interest above a solid privacy panel. Square or diagonal lattice lets light through while maintaining full privacy at eye level. A popular choice for garden borders and patio surrounds.

In-House Craftsmanship, Start to Finish

Every cedar privacy fence we build starts with a conversation about how you use your outdoor space. We visit your property, walk the fence line, discuss your goals, and then design a solution that fits your home, your terrain, and your budget.

From there, our team builds your fence in our Route 66 workshop using quality cedar. When installation day arrives, the same craftsmen who built it are the ones installing it. There's no hand-off to a subcontractor, no miscommunication between teams. One crew from start to finish.

Why Cedar

The Benefits of a Cedar Privacy Fence

Cedar isn't just beautiful. It's one of the most practical fencing materials available for Connecticut homeowners. Here's what makes it worth the investment.

Natural Rot Resistance

Cedar contains natural oils that repel moisture, insects, and decay. It holds up to Connecticut's rain, snow, and humidity far better than pine or spruce, even without treatment.

Complete Privacy

Solid panel construction means no gaps and no sightlines. Tongue-and-groove and board-on-board styles create an unbroken visual barrier that gives you true seclusion in your own backyard.

Endless Customization

No other fence material offers as many design options as cedar. Heights, toppers, transitions, gates, stains, and custom details. If you can imagine it, we can build it.

Boosts Property Value

A quality cedar fence is one of the best investments you can make in your property. It adds usable outdoor space, enhances curb appeal, and signals craftsmanship to future buyers.

Sound Dampening

Solid cedar panels don't just block views. They reduce noise from neighboring properties, busy roads, and surrounding activity. Your backyard gets quieter, calmer, and more peaceful.

Ages Beautifully

Left natural, cedar develops a soft silver-gray patina that looks right at home in New England. Prefer the warm golden tone? A simple stain every few years keeps it looking fresh.

Common Questions

Cedar Privacy Fence FAQ

Here are the questions Connecticut homeowners ask most when considering a cedar privacy fence.

A well-built cedar fence typically lasts 15 to 25 years or more, depending on the environment and how it's maintained. Cedar's natural oils protect it from rot and insects, giving it a significant lifespan advantage over pine or spruce. With periodic staining or sealing, you can push that lifespan even further. We build each fence to last, protecting the most vulnerable parts from decay.
It's not required, but it depends on the look you want. Left untreated, cedar naturally weathers to a silver-gray tone that many Connecticut homeowners love. If you prefer to maintain the warm golden color, applying a UV-protective stain every two to three years will do the trick. We can advise you on the best approach during your estimate and even recommend finishes that work well in our climate.
Stockade is the most economical option, with pickets butted tightly together. Board-on-board alternates boards on each side of the rail so there's overlap at every seam, eliminating any gaps even as the wood moves seasonally. Tongue-and-groove is the most refined, with each board interlocking with the next for a perfectly smooth, seamless face. Each has its place, and we'll help you choose the right one for your property and budget.
Absolutely. We handle sloped installations regularly. Depending on the grade, we'll either step the panels (creating a stair-step pattern that follows the hill) or rack them (angling panels to follow the slope smoothly). We'll recommend the best approach based on your terrain and the look you're going for. Connecticut properties are rarely flat, and our crews have decades of experience with challenging topography.
We build privacy fences from 4 feet to 8 feet tall. The most popular height is 6 feet, which provides full privacy for most yards. Some towns in Connecticut have height restrictions, especially for front yard fences or fences near property lines. We're familiar with local zoning rules and can guide you through any requirements during your estimate.
Yes, and it's one of the most popular upgrades we build. A lattice or spindle topper adds visual interest and allows airflow above the solid privacy section. We offer square lattice, diagonal lattice, and spindle topper options, all built in our shop to match your fence perfectly. Toppers can be added to tongue-and-groove, board-on-board, or stockade panels.
Pricing depends on the style (stockade vs. tongue-and-groove), height, total footage, gate requirements, terrain, and any custom details like toppers or arbors. We provide free on-site estimates with detailed, transparent pricing. There are no hidden fees or surprise charges. What we quote is what you pay. We'll also walk you through different options at different price points so you can make the best decision for your budget.
They're different products for different priorities. Cedar gives you a natural, warm look that you can customize in ways vinyl can't match. You can stain it any color, add unique toppers, and build custom shapes. Vinyl is lower maintenance and won't weather or need staining, but it offers fewer design options and a more uniform, synthetic appearance. We install both and can help you decide which is the better fit for your home.
