6-Foot Board-on-Board Cedar Fence Replacement in The Colony, TX


This fence replacement project in The Colony, Texas focused on creating long-lasting privacy with clean lines, upgraded materials, and a rich, finished look that complements the home and landscape.

Project Overview


  • Location: The Colony, TX
  • Fence Height: 6 feet
  • Fence Style: Board-on-Board
  • Material: Western Red Cedar
  • Stain Color: Wood Defender – Oxford Brown
  • Top Cap: 2×6 Western Red Cedar

  • Warranty: 10-Year Workmanship & Material Warranty


Why Board-on-Board Was the Best Fit


Board-on-board fencing is one of the most effective styles for privacy in North Texas. The overlapping pickets eliminate gaps, even as the wood naturally expands and contracts with seasonal temperature changes.


For this property, the board-on-board design provided maximum privacy while maintaining a clean, high-end appearance that fits well in established neighborhoods like The Colony.


Premium Materials Built to Last


Western Red Cedar is naturally resistant to rot, insects, and moisture, making it an excellent choice for Texas climates. The pressure-treated pine kickboard protects the fence at ground level where moisture exposure is highest, while the cedar top cap helps shield the pickets from sun and water damage.

These upgrades significantly extend the life of the fence and enhance its overall appearance.


Wood Defender Oxford Brown Finish


The fence was pre-stained using Wood Defender Oxford Brown, delivering a rich, warm tone that highlights the natural grain of the cedar while providing long-term UV and moisture protection.


Pre-staining ensures consistent color coverage on all sides of the boards and gives the fence a finished look immediately after installation.


10-Year Warranty Coverage


This fence is backed by a 10-year warranty, giving homeowners peace of mind long after installation.


The 10-Year Warranty Covers:

  • Cracked, warped, or split lumber
  • Missing knot holes
  • Leaning posts
  • Rusting of any kind
  • Defective gate hinges and latches
  • Hardware
  • Sagging gates


This comprehensive warranty reflects the quality of materials used and the confidence behind the workmanship.


The Finished Result


The completed fence delivers:

  • Full privacy
  • Strong, straight lines
  • Enhanced durability at both the base and top
  • A cohesive, polished look



This project is a great example of how thoughtful material choices and proper installation come together to create a fence that looks great and performs for years.
