All:

Is a cedar fence worth the premium over a pine fence?

I've heard double, if not more.

But I've also heard cedar will outlast pine as well.

I saw cypress at Home Depot the other day for $2.79 a board. I don't know how the price or quality compares to what you would get from a fence supply place...

I think cedar is pretty comparable in price, maybe a little more.

I just want some thoughts/opinions on if the premium over pine is worth it or not.

My HOA in Houston neighborhood requires cedar which sucks b/c I put up treated pine and now they are making me remove it. Tried to stain it with Thompson's water sealant w/ cedar stain and they rejected it. We have an HOA bitch who stalks the neighborhood looking for anything wrong.

That blows.

Out of curiosity, how'd it look after you used the sealant/stain?

What kind of miserable human being notices these things?

I couldn't live somewhere with an HOA. I hear too many horror stories.
