Project Overview

This cedar fence project in Arlington, TX covered 65 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, including one post carefully placed
along the neighboring property line. A new wood-framed gate was also added, giving the homeowners convenient,
secure access along the fence line.
Every job also includes free haul-away of trash and job-site debris, so the homeowners were 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 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.
The standout feature of this project is its finish: a pre-dip Mahogany stain applied to every board before installation,
giving the fence a warm, rich tone from day one. This approach ensures complete, even coverage on all sides of
the wood, helping the new cedar fence resist moisture, sun exposure, and everyday wear while looking sharp
along the property line.

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 built with concrete-set metal posts, pressure-treated framing, and a quality Mahogany stain finish is
designed to stand up to those conditions far better than an aging, weathered structure — while also elevating the
look of the property.
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 rich stain color, such as Mahogany, for a distinctive look
• Add a new gate for convenient, secure access
• Get long-term stability from concrete-set metal posts instead of wood posts alone
• Complete a full fence replacement on a predictable, short timeline
Because cedar is a natural material, some variation in grain and tone is normal even under a Mahogany stain, 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 Results and Highlights

By the end of this project, the homeowners in Arlington, TX had a brand-new 65-foot, 6-foot-tall cedar privacy
fence finished in Mahogany stain, complete with a new gate, backed by A&O Texas Solutions' 2-year labor
warranty. Free debris haul-away was 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
a distinctive stain finish and functional new access, completed with careful attention to detail along the property
line.
