The Challenge: Replacing a Rotten Wood Fence
The existing full-panel wood fence had deteriorated and rotted. Because the damage was not limited to one isolated section, a limited fence repair was not appropriate for this Renton property. Our crew dismantled and hauled away the structure to prepare the fence line for a full replacement.
Homeowner Goals for the Renton Property
The homeowner wanted to retain the full-panel format while adding new cedar boards and decorative lattice. These details preserved privacy, complemented the property’s style, supported curb appeal, and brought the natural beauty of cedar to the outdoor space. A matching gate provided access without interrupting the consistent appearance of the finished fence.
Cedar Fencing Solutions: Full Panels, Lattice, and a Gate
For this wood fence installation, our crew installed 134 linear feet of cedar full panels with decorative lattice and cedar post caps. Cedar wood served as the primary fence material throughout the visible fence line. The cedar posts were installed using post-on-pipe technology, which carries a 10-year warranty. The project also included a four-foot-wide, six-foot-tall Cedar Full Panel single-swing gate.

Our Fence Installation Process
Our crew dismantled and hauled away the rotten fence before preparing the fence line for the new installation. We then installed the steel-pipe post supports, full cedar panels, decorative lattice, cedar post caps, and a matching single-swing gate.
Before and After the Fence Project
Before the project, the property had a rotten full-panel fence that required complete removal. After the replacement, the fence line included 134 linear feet of new cedar fencing with decorative lattice, capped cedar posts with steel-pipe supports, and a matching gate.
Cedar Fence Care in Renton, WA
For Renton homes, wood fences benefit from routine inspections and moisture management in the region’s wet climate. Homeowners should keep soil, leaves, and other debris from accumulating against cedar wood surfaces and check the posts, gate hardware, and panels for wear or changes that could affect structural integrity. The finish manufacturer’s instructions and the fence’s actual condition should determine when staining or sealing is needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should an old fence be replaced instead of repaired?
Replacement may be more appropriate when rot affects multiple panels or structural components. This project required complete demolition and removal of the existing fence.
Does this type of fence require a permit in Renton?
Renton requires a building permit or a written exemption from the Building Official for fences taller than six feet. Additional height and placement limits apply in front yards, secondary front yards, rear yards abutting streets, and clear-vision areas. Property owners should confirm current site-specific requirements with the City of Renton before installation.
Does the cedar post support system include warranty coverage?
Yes. The installed post-on-pipe system includes a 10-year warranty, subject to the applicable terms and limitations.
