CHARACTER & VERSATILITY

Wooden Fence

At Perfect Picket Fence and Stain, we believe that a well-constructed chain link fence can provide both security and visual appeal to your residential property. Chain link fencing is a versatile option for many homes in the Cedar Valley region.  It is composed of interlocking steel wires, creating a mesh pattern that is not only durable but also offers excellent security and visibility.

AN EXCELLENT FENCING CHOICE

Western Red Cedar Vs. Pressure Treated Pine

  • Natural Beauty: Western Red Cedar boasts a stunning, natural appearance with warm, rich tones. Its elegant grain patterns add a touch of sophistication to your property.
  • Durability: Cedar is naturally resistant to decay and insects, ensuring your fence stands strong against the elements for years to come.
  • Preferred Choice: Western Red Cedar is our preferred wood for crafting wooden fences in Cedar Falls, Waterloo, and the Cedar Valley due to its exceptional beauty and resilience.
  • Pre-stain: Our Western Red Cedar fences have the option of being pre-stained in our warehouse with Expert Stain and Seal’s deep penetrating oil based stain. This allows all sides of your fence to be protected before installation.

QUALITY CONSTRUCTION BUDGET FRIENDLY

Pressure Treated Pine

When it comes to chain link fences, there are various types to choose from, each with its unique characteristics to suit your residential needs.​

  • Pressure treated wooden fences are common in the Cedar Valley due to their lower material cost.
  • Treated wooden fences can also be stained by Perfect Picket Fence and Stain, however this would occur after installation is complete due to their high moisture content at the time of installation.

Hidden Steel Posts

At Perfect Picket Fence and Stain, we focus on the longevity of your wooden fence. Our innovative use of hidden steel posts wrapped with wood is a game-changer in wooden fence construction. Here's why it matters:

  • Preventing Decay: Steel posts eliminate the risk of post rotting and decay, common issues with traditional wooden posts.
  • Warping and Cracking: The steel core ensures that your fence stays straight, preventing warping and cracking over time.
  • Long-Lasting: This approach significantly extends the lifespan of your wooden fence, saving you time and money on repairs or replacement.
  • Superior to other steel posts: Our installation method does not utilize PostMasters®, a common steel post used in wooden fence construction. Instead we utilize a stronger more versatile post that is completely wrapped with wood to match the rest of your fence. This not only provides a significant increase in fence strength and longevity over other installation methods, but presents a more traditional wooden fence post appearance when completed.

Pre-Stained Western Red Cedar Fences

Elevate the aesthetics and protect your investment with our pre-stained Western Red Cedar fences. Here's what you need to know:

  • Deep penetrating Oil-Based Stain: We offer the option to pre-stain your Western Red Cedar fence with a high-quality, deep-penetrating oil-based stain from Expert Stain and Seal.
  • Aesthetic Improvement: Staining enhances the wood’s natural beauty, intensifying its rich tones and grain patterns.
  • Protection: Pre-staining and proper maintenance staining almost completely protects against twisting, cracking, warping, and weather-related wear that a wooden fence experiences.

Wooden Gates Built to Last

Homeowners always remember the fence gate that doesn't open quite right, or not at all. When a fence gate works like it should, every time, it is taken for granted. At Perfect Picket Fence and Stain we build our wooden fence gates to last so you can continue to appreciate the fence and not take the gate for granted.

  • Steel powder coated frame: All of our wooden fence gates are built with square steel tubing as our standard. Fabricated in our warehouse and powder coated to prevent rust and corrosion in harsh Iowa weather.
  • Steel Frame, Steel Hardware, Steel Post: Our gate hardware is attached directly to the steel frame and the hidden steel post. Dramatically reducing any potential of gate droop or sag overtime.
  • Upgraded hardware: Upgradable fence latches, hinges, and gate windows are just the beginning of what is possible.
