Project Overview
This side by side cedar fence project in Arlington, TX covered 102 linear feet of new fencing at a 6-foot height, built
in the classic 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 along a fresh concrete
path. No gates were included in this scope of work, keeping the project focused on a clean, continuous fence line.
The project was completed on a clear 3-day schedule: demolition and post-setting on day one, full fence
construction on day two, and 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 side by side cedar fence installation used 1x6, 6-foot cedar pickets arranged side by side, supported by 2x4
pressure-treated rails. Per this estimate, no baseboard was included and the boards were left in their natural,
unstained finish. Each post is a 13-gauge metal post set in concrete along the new concrete path, finished with
galvanized metal caps and Simpson brackets for added structural strength.
This straightforward, no-frills build is a popular option for homeowners who want a solid, code-compliant cedar
fence without the added cost of staining or a decorative baseboard, while still getting the same concrete-set metal
post foundation used on every A&O Texas Solutions fence.
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 side
by side cedar fence built with concrete-set metal posts and pressure-treated framing 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
• Cover a large linear footage of fence line in a single, efficient project
• Get long-term stability from concrete-set metal posts instead of wood posts alone
• Choose a natural, unstained cedar look without added staining costs
• 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 and concrete-set posts gives this fence a strong foundation for years of reliable
performance.
Project Timeline and Results
By the end of this side by side cedar fence project, the homeowner in Arlington, TX had a brand-new 102-foot,
6-foot-tall cedar fence, 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 fence line
completed on a clear day-by-day schedule with no surprises along the way.
