Wenatchee Fence - Wenatchee's Expert Commercial Fencing

The constant moisture from our winter and spring weather, combined with shaded yards near the hillsides or river, creates ideal conditions for moss. Moss traps moisture against the wood, speeding up rot. Our solution involves treating the affected area with a gentle cleaner to remove the moss, then sealing the fence with a moisture-resistant stain. For severely damaged boards, we'll replace them with pressure-treated wood or composite materials that resist moss growth much better in Wenatchee's climate.

The first signs are usually loose nails or screws pulling out, gaps forming between pickets, and panels starting to lean one way. You might also notice the wood splitting along the grain. Once a panel is compromised, a strong gust can snap it. We recommend checking for these signs after major wind events. Our team reinforces panel connections with stronger fasteners and bracing, and if a panel is too far gone, we'll replace it with a more wind-resistant design that handles the river gusts.

For the wet and windy conditions here, we often recommend vinyl or aluminum fencing. They don't absorb moisture, so moss can't take hold, and they're much stronger than wood when it comes to wind. Cedar is a good natural option if you treat it properly, but it needs regular sealing. For privacy, pressure-treated pine with proper spacing and strong posts handles our climate well. We can help you choose the best material for your specific yard, whether you're in a windy spot near the airport or a more sheltered neighborhood.
