Project Overview

This cedar fence installation project in Arlington, TX covered 194 linear feet of new fencing at an 8-foot height. Of
that, 170 feet was built in a side-by-side style, while a 24-foot section near the house was finished in
board-on-board with cap and trim detailing for a more refined look. A 10-foot-wide double wooden gate was also
installed, giving the property wide, convenient access.
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, 8-foot cedar pickets, supported by 2x4 pressure-treated rails and a 2x6
pressure-treated baseboard along the full fence line. The cap-and-trim section adds 1x4 cedar trim and 2x6 cedar
caps on top for a finished, upgraded appearance. Each post is a 13-gauge metal post set in concrete, finished with
galvanized metal caps and Simpson brackets for added structural strength. The 10-foot double gate was built with
a matching wood frame and new hardware for smooth, reliable operation.
The entire fence was finished with a pre-dip Espresso stain, giving the cedar a deep, dark tone that highlights both
the side-by-side and board-on-board sections. This approach ensures complete, even coverage on all sides of the
wood, helping the new cedar fence resist moisture, sun exposure, and everyday wear across its full 194-foot run.

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, especially
one spanning a full property perimeter. A new cedar fence installation built with concrete-set metal posts,
pressure-treated framing, and a rich Espresso stain finish 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 entire aging fence perimeter with a durable new structure
• Combine side-by-side and cap-and-trim styles for visual variety across the property
• Add a wide double gate for convenient vehicle or equipment access
• Get long-term stability from concrete-set metal posts instead of wood posts alone
• Choose a deep stain color, such as Espresso, for a bold, modern look
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 an Espresso stain finish gives this fence a strong, cohesive
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 194-foot, 8-foot-tall
cedar fence with an Espresso stain finish and a 10-foot double 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 perimeter fence
with a bold stain finish and a wide, functional new gate, completed on a clear day-by-day schedule with no
surprises along the way.
