Well, it really depends on what the wood fencing is exposed to and what does the owner consider a “long run”. For instance, some woods are used because they have nice aesthetics. But that doesn’t mean that they are very resistant. They can last anywhere from a few years to a couple of decades, if tended to the right way. But, in time, their looks may fade and the owner might want to consider replacing them with others.

On the other hand, there are wood fencing solutions offered by highly recommended Denver fence companies that are made from really hard woods that can last practically for generations. That’s because the wood itself is very resistant and, if treated against water, sun and insects, it can outlast even some other artificial options. That’s because wood is more adaptable than other materials. It can be repaired quicker and cheaper and can be changed really fast, if needed.

One of the main problems wood fencing has is shrinkage. Wood tends to shrink over time. That’s because the wood dries out and starts to contract. But there are ways of combating this. All one needs are the right substances and treatments. This is also applicable to rot. Untreated wood may develop rot or other problems over time. But if maintained regularly, it will be able to withstand the elements for a long time.
