Overview

Bald Cypress is a naturally durable softwood that has been used for centuries in the southeastern United States for fencing and outdoor construction. Its heartwood contains cypressene, a natural preservative that provides excellent resistance to rot, decay, and insects. Cypress fencing offers a beautiful honey-gold color with a distinctive grain that sets it apart from other fence woods.

Installation Tips

Select heartwood-grade for maximum natural durability

Use stainless steel or galvanized fasteners to prevent staining

Seal end cuts to prevent moisture absorption

Apply a penetrating sealer to maintain the golden color

Set posts in concrete at least 24" deep

Allow 1/8" gap between boards for seasonal movement

Maintenance

Cypress fences should be sealed every 2-3 years to preserve the golden color. Left unfinished, cypress weathers to a silver-gray. Clean annually with a mild detergent. Cypress is naturally resistant to decay so structural maintenance needs are minimal.
