Building a Fence with Pressure-Treated Lumber: A Durable Solution by Wilkes Works

When it comes to fencing, durability and craftsmanship matter. At Wilkes Works, we specialize in building strong, long-lasting fences using pressure-treated lumber—one of the most reliable materials for residential fencing projects in Oakville Burlington and surrounding areas. Whether you’re looking to improve privacy, security, or curb appeal, pressure-treated wood offers an excellent balance of strength, longevity, and value.  As a carpenter this material is a recommended option for outdoor wood projects.

Why Pressure-Treated Lumber Is Ideal for Fences

Pressure-treated lumber is specially treated with preservatives that protect it from moisture, insects, and decay. This makes it an ideal choice for outdoor construction, especially fencing that is exposed to the elements year-round in Burlington, Oakville and surrounding areas.

Key benefits of pressure-treated fencing include:

  • Resistance to rot, termites, and fungal decay
  • Long lifespan in all weather conditions
  • Cost-effective compared to cedar or composite fencing
  • Readily available and versatile for many fence styles

For Oakville and Burlington homeowners who want a fence that lasts without constant repairs, pressure-treated lumber is a smart investment.

Professional Fence Installation Makes the Difference

Even the best materials require proper installation from a reputable carpenter.  At Wilkes Works, our carpentry experience ensures every fence is built to perform—not just look good on day one.

Wilkes Works fence installation process includes:

  • Accurate layout and property line verification
  • Deep-set, ground-contact-rated pressure-treated posts
  • Proper drainage and concrete footings for stability
  • Level rails and evenly spaced pickets
  • Exterior-grade fasteners designed for treated lumber

This attention to detail by a carpenter helps prevent leaning, sagging, and premature failure.

Fence Styles Built with Pressure-Treated Wood

Pressure-treated lumber is incredibly versatile and can be used for a variety of fence designs, including:

  • Privacy fences
  • Picket fences
  • Board-on-board fences
  • Custom wood fence designs

Wilkes Wilkes communicates closely with clients in Burlington Oakville and surrounding areas to match the fence style to their home, budget, and functional needs.

Sealing and Long-Term Maintenance

While pressure-treated wood is protected from decay, sealing or staining adds an extra layer of protection and enhances appearance. Wilkes Works recommends allowing the wood to dry before applying a high-quality exterior stain or sealer.

Routine maintenance such as cleaning and resealing every few years can significantly extend the life of your Oakville Burlington and surrounding area fence.
