Pressure-treated wood fences are a great option for homeowners who want to build an attractive and long-lasting fence around their property. Pressure-treating is the process of infusing wood with preservatives, making it resistant to rot, decay, and insects. The end result is a sturdy, durable, and low-maintenance fence that looks beautiful and will last for years to come. Another great way to make any fence look great and last longer is by applying fence stain.
