Wood Fencing
Warm, private, and classic — cedar fencing set below the frost line so it stays straight through Southwest Michigan and Northern Indiana winters. Built by the same local crew since 1975.
There's a reason wood is still the most popular fence in America. A well-built cedar fence is warm, private, and looks like it belongs — and when it's installed right, it stands up to decades of Michiana weather. Custom Fence Company has been building wood fences here since 1975.
Every cedar fence we build starts with the same approach — quality lumber, deep post holes set below the frost line, and hardware that won't rust or loosen after a few seasons. It's the difference between a fence that needs replacing in five years and one that's still standing strong twenty years from now. Whether you're fencing in a backyard, a pool area, or the whole property line, we build it to fit your space and hold up to how you actually use it.

Wood Fencing Questions
There's no honest one-size answer, because the price depends on what you're building. The biggest factors are the material (chain link is the most affordable; wood and vinyl cost more; ornamental aluminum sits at the top), the length and height of the fence, the terrain (slopes and obstacles add labor), and gates and add-ons. The best way to get a real number is a free estimate — we measure, talk through options, and give you a price with no surprises.

Why cedar
Most of our wood fences are built from cedar, and for good reason. Cedar naturally resists rot and the insects that destroy lesser lumber, so it lasts far longer than treated pine without constant babying. It's beautiful out of the gate, it ages gracefully, and it adds real value to your property.
Built for Michiana winters
Freeze-thaw cycles are what destroy a cheap fence — posts heave, gates sag, and within a few years the whole line is leaning. We set posts properly and below the frost line so your fence stays straight through the seasons. Fifty years of installing in this exact climate is the difference.
