Classic cedar, the best choice: To build superior quality fences, you need to start with superior quality lumber.  Northern white cedar is widely considered the most durable wood available.  It has proven to hold up best to the wide range of elements we experience with our ever-changing New England weather.  At W.J. McDonough northern white cedar is the lumber of choice for all fences we build, resulting in fences that look the best and last the longest.
