Quality Fencing & Professional Fence Installation
for Buffalo, NY & Western New York
Wood fences are a popular choice in the Buffalo, NY – Western New York (WNY) area. And City Fence is able to offer you a wide range of highly attractive yet cost-effective wood fences, that will fit your needs and budget, and are guaranteed to last for decades in our WNY climate.
City Fence offers a wide range of High Quality Residential Wood Fences that our Fence Installation Team install for you, anywhere in WNY, or you can buy and install yourself.
Our fences (except Stockade) are built on site, not as pre-assembled panels, so they are customized to fit your terrain. They feature 3/4" thick boards and a full 4×4" post (not the usual 3.5×3.5" dimensions).
To choose and install the optimum wood fence for your home you will need to consider several factors:
To understand how long your fence should be expected to last (with respect to rot and decay) in our Western New York climate, you need to consider the type of wood that the fence is constructed of, and any treatments that have been applied to the wood.
City Fence offers LifeWood Micronized Copper Azole Pressure-Treated Red Pine boards and posts that are SCS Certified as an Environmentally Preferable Product for residential and agricultural wood fencing applications. This material comes with a 40 Year Lifetime Warranty against structural failure from rot & fungal decay – and is currently available from us at a very reasonable price.
LifeWood Pressure-Treated Red Pine is by far the most popular wood type for constructing fence panels that will endure for decades in our demanding WNY climate!
Our Standard Stockade Wood Fence, made from untreated Spruce, is warranted aginst rot & fungal decay for at least 10 years in WNY.
When choosing the optimum type of wood fence for your home you first need to decide how much Privacy (obstruction of view onto and off your property) or View you wish your fence to provide. The degree of privacy offered by your fence will obviously be affected by the height of the fence. However, the specific design of the fence panels is also a very important factor, since panels may be constructed so that the individual wooden fence boards have gaps between them, to increase visibility, or no gaps* between them to increase privacy.
City Fence offers you a range of different wood fence designs, presented here in order of increasing privacy:

* may incur minor gaps, due to natural shrinkage of the individual boards.

Installing your own wood fence is a task that some homeowners are willing to take. However, if you want to make sure that your fence doesn’t end up crooked, or blow over in the first wind storm, there is more to erecting a fence than you might realize.
For those people who want their fence erected quickly and properly, with minimum hassle, call in the City Fence Professional Fence Installation Team. We work throughout the Western New York area, it costs less than you might think, and our work comes with a 5 year installation guarantee.
The Fence Post Footer is a critical component of the fence system that must be correctly designed and installed in order to securely anchor your fence posts and panels to the ground. Since Wooden Fences in Western New York will be subjected to freeze-thaw cycles during the winter and high wind loads throughout the year, City Fence has designed a proprietary High Strength Concrete Footer Mix that has proven to be durable over decades in local fence installations.
When installing your Wood Fence, we will first excavate holes that extend 36 inches deep down into the ground, below the winter frost line. We will then mix and pour wet concrete footers into the holes, installing each fence post within a footer. Industry best practice requires that we then allow the concrete footers to cure for approximately 7 days before subjecting them to any significant loads.
Therefore, We Will Wait For Approximately 1 Week Before Returning To Build & Install Your Wooden Fence Panels!
During this concrete curing period, it is very important that you take steps to protect your exposed fence posts, for example; by making sure that children or pets do not place stress on them during the first week. By taking the extra effort and time to design and install your fence post footers and cure them correctly we are able to guarantee your fence installation for 5 years, and we expect your footers to last for decades.
