Cedar is the best wood for fences in Denver. It naturally resists rot, repels insects, and handles Colorado's dry climate without warping or cracking like pressure-treated pine often does. Cedar costs more upfront but lasts roughly twice as long, making it the better long-term value.

Wood fence installation in Denver typically ranges from $30 to $60 per linear foot, depending on height, style, gates, terrain, and finishing. Standard 6-foot dog-ear privacy fences fall on the lower end; cap & fascia, horizontal, and custom builds fall on the higher end. We provide free, itemized estimates.

Most Denver-area municipalities require a permit for fences over 4 feet in front yards or 6 feet in back yards, and HOAs often have additional requirements. 303 Fence handles all permitting on your behalf as part of every project.

Cedar can be left untreated to age into a natural silver-gray, or stained/sealed every 3–5 years to preserve its warm color and add UV protection. Both options are durable. We offer staining as an add-on service when you install with us.

Most residential wood fence installations in Denver are completed in 1 to 3 days once construction begins. Larger jobs, custom builds, hilly terrain, or removal of an existing fence can extend the timeline.

A properly installed cedar fence in Colorado typically lasts 15 to 20 years. Cedar's natural oils resist rot and insects, and its tight grain holds up well against Denver's freeze-thaw cycles. Pine and pressure-treated wood typically last 7–10 years before needing replacement.
