Which is better for a fence, Cedar or Pine?
Cedar is typically a less-maintenance, more robust, and longer-lasting option than pine for fencing. The natural oils in cedar wood can prevent warping, rotting, and shrinking without requiring much upkeep, in addition to thwarting insect attacks. On the other hand, pine wood needs to be pressure treated, cleaned annually, and regularly sealed, repainted, or re-stained. Despite this, some people choose pressure-treated pine for the actual fence posts and cedar for the fence panels because treated pine has a higher resistance to soil.

Should a cedar fence be stained?
Although staining a cedar fence isn't required, our lumber experts advise it in order to enhance the wood's natural beauty and prolong the life of the fence's appearance. For instance, many stains provide UV protection, which can aid in protecting the cedar's natural reddish hue from the sun. If you do decide to stain your cedar fence, make sure to pick an exterior grade oil or acrylic/oil blend because you'll need to redo it every five to seven years.

What is the difference between a patio and a deck?

Brick patios are more expensive than concrete, but they offer a more traditional look. Paver patios are a good middle ground between concrete and brick patios in terms of both cost and appearance. Natural stone patios are the most expensive option, but they offer the most natural and rustic look.
How long does it take to build a patio?
