Project Overview

This cedar fence installation project in Arlington, TX covered 71 linear feet of new fencing at a 6-foot height, built in
a side-by-side board style. The scope began with full removal and disposal of the existing fence, followed by the
installation of heavy-gauge metal posts set 24 to 30 inches deep in concrete. A new wood-framed gate was also
added, giving the property convenient, secure access along the side yard.
The project was completed on a clear 3-day schedule: demolition and post-setting on day one, full fence
construction on day two, and gate installation, final adjustments, and cleanup on day three. Every job also includes
free haul-away of trash and job-site debris, so the homeowner was left with a finished fence and a clean property,
with nothing left to manage on their own.

Materials and Construction Process Behind This Cedar Fence

This cedar fence installation used 1x6, 6-foot cedar pickets arranged side by side, supported by 2x4
pressure-treated rails and a 2x6 pressure-treated baseboard along the bottom of the fence line. Each post is a
13-gauge metal post set in concrete, finished with galvanized metal caps and Simpson brackets for added
structural strength. The new gate matches the fence in height and style, built with a wood frame, a 3 to 4-foot
width, and new hardware for smooth, reliable operation.
As with all A&O Texas Solutions cedar fence projects, the boards receive a pre-dip stain finish, with the final stain
color confirmed together with the homeowner. This approach ensures complete, even coverage on all sides of the
wood, helping the new cedar fence resist moisture, sun exposure, and everyday wear.

Why Arlington, TX Homeowners Choose A&O Texas Solutions for New Fence Installation

Arlington's hot summers, heavy clay soils, and occasional storms put real demands on any wood fence. A new
cedar fence installation built with concrete-set metal posts, pressure-treated framing, and a properly hung gate is
designed to stand up to those conditions far better than an aging, weathered structure.
Homeowners across Arlington and the surrounding DFW communities choose a full cedar fence installation like
this one when they want to:
• Replace an old, worn, or failing fence with a durable new structure
• Add a new gate for convenient, secure side-yard access
• Get long-term stability from concrete-set metal posts instead of wood posts alone
• Protect the wood from day one with a pre-dip stain finish
• Complete a full fence replacement on a predictable, short timeline
Because cedar is a natural material, some variation in grain and tone is normal, but the combination of
pressure-treated framing, concrete-set posts, and a properly finished gate gives this fence a strong foundation for
years of reliable performance.

Project Timeline and Results

By the end of this cedar fence installation, the homeowner in Arlington, TX had a brand-new 71-foot, 6-foot-tall
cedar privacy fence with a new gate, backed by A&O Texas Solutions' 2-year labor warranty. The project moved
through demolition, construction, and completion in three organized phases, with free debris haul-away included,
leaving the property clean and the fence ready to enjoy.
This project is a great example of what a full cedar fence installation can deliver: a fresh, durable privacy fence with
functional new access, completed on a clear day-by-day schedule with no surprises along the way.
