The two most popular wood options for fences in Lafayette and Acadiana are:
Cedar: Naturally resistant to insects, moisture, and rot. Offers a beautiful reddish tone that weathers to a stylish gray over time.
Pressure-Treated Pine: A highly affordable and durable option. It’s treated to resist rot, fungi, and termites.
Cedar is hands down the best choice for wood fencing do to several reasons:
- Cedar is naturally superior to pressure-treated pine when it comes to fencing because of its built-in durability and beauty.
- Unlike pine, cedar contains natural oils that make it naturally resistant to rot, decay, and insect damage — no chemical treatments needed!
- It also shrinks and warps far less over time compared to pine, keeping your fence straighter and better looking for longer.
- Plus, cedar’s rich color and pleasant aroma add a premium aesthetic to any property.
- Although cedar costs more upfront, it often saves money long-term by requiring less maintenance and offering greater overall longevity.
In many Acadiana cities, including Lafayette, Broussard, and New Iberia, you may need a permit for a fence — especially if it exceeds certain height limits or is near property lines.
At Basin Fence, we guide you through the process, making sure your project is fully compliant.
Visit our Lafayette Fence Company page for local permit tips or contact us if you have questions.
For a strong and storm-resistant wood fence:
Fence posts set in concrete should be buried at least 2 to 3 feet deep, depending on the height and soil conditions. For example, a 6ft tall fence your post should be set 30 inches deep minimum.
For power driven posts (the way we install fence) your post should be driven 6 inches deeper than posts set in concrete. This means a 6ft tall fence should be driven 3 feet deep minimum. We exceed this standard and go 4 feet deep.

Wood naturally expands and contracts with temperature and humidity changes, so some shrinking or warping is normal.
To minimize movement:
Choose quality wood like cedar
Apply sealants or stains regularly
Allow for board spacing during installation
We take all these precautions at Basin Fence to ensure a beautiful, long-lasting fence. Learn more about wood movement in our article on Pre-Stained Wood Fences.
Regular maintenance keeps your fence looking beautiful and lasting longer. Here’s a quick checklist:
Inspect for damage every 6 months
Clean once a year with a mild detergent
Re-seal or re-stain every 2–3 years
Trim plants away from fence lines to reduce moisture buildup
