Our Fencing & Carpentry Services

We build fences and outdoor structures designed specifically for the wind, salt air, and moisture conditions along the Oregon Coast. Every project starts with a site assessment so we understand your property's exposure, soil conditions, and what you need the fence to do - whether that's privacy, wind protection, pet containment, or defining a property line.

Cedar Privacy Fences - Full-height cedar fencing with customizable board spacing. We use western red cedar for its natural rot resistance and dimensional stability in wet coastal conditions. Board-on-board designs provide privacy without creating a solid wind sail.

Windbreak Fences - Engineered for exposed coastal properties where wind is the primary concern. We calculate board spacing to reduce wind speed by 50-70% on the leeward side without putting destructive loads on posts and rails. Taller than standard fences, often 7-8 feet, with deeper post embedment.

Gates & Entries - Custom-built gates matched to your fence style. We use heavy-duty hinges and latches rated for salt air exposure and install drop rods on double gates to prevent sagging over time.

Post Replacement & Fence Repair - Rotted or wind-damaged posts replaced individually without tearing out the entire fence. We match existing materials and style so repairs blend in.

Property Line & Pet Containment Fencing - Functional fencing for boundary definition and pet safety. We work with your property survey to ensure correct placement and verify setback requirements with Lincoln County before building.

Custom Outdoor Structures - Pergolas, arbors, planter boxes, outdoor benches, and storage sheds. Every structure is designed for the specific wind and moisture conditions at your site.

Building Fences That Survive Coastal Wind

Standard inland fencing methods fail on the Oregon Coast. Here's how we build differently.

🌊

Wind Load Engineering

Coastal Lincoln County regularly sees sustained winds of 40-60 mph, with storm gusts exceeding 90 mph. A standard 6-foot solid fence panel presents roughly 48 square feet of sail area per 8-foot section. At 60 mph, that's over 700 pounds of lateral force per section. We design every fence to handle these loads without failure.

🛠

Post Depth & Concrete

We set posts at least 36 inches deep - 50% deeper than the standard 24 inches used by inland builders. Each post sits in a concrete footing crowned above grade to shed water away from the wood. In sandy or loose coastal soils, we go deeper and use wider footings. The post is the foundation of the fence, and we don't cut corners on it.

🌀

Board Spacing vs. Solid Panels

Solid fence panels act as wind sails. When a 70 mph gust hits, something has to give - usually the posts snap or the concrete footings heave out of the ground. Strategic board spacing lets wind pass through, reducing lateral force by 50-70% while still blocking sightlines and cutting wind speed in your yard. We calculate spacing based on your property's specific exposure.

💧

Material & Hardware Selection

Salt air corrodes standard galvanized hardware within 3-5 years. We use stainless steel screws, hinges, and brackets on every coastal fence. Western red cedar resists moisture and rot naturally, while pressure-treated lumber's chemical treatments break down faster in salt-laden air. We select every material for the specific conditions at your property.

Custom Carpentry Projects

Beyond fencing, we build outdoor structures and custom woodwork tailored to coastal living.

Pergolas & Arbors - Open-roof structures for patios, garden entries, and outdoor dining areas. We engineer every pergola for coastal wind loads with proper post sizing and beam connections. Cedar construction with stainless steel connectors for a structure that looks good and stays standing.

Built-In Benches & Seating - Custom benches integrated into decks, patios, and fence lines. Built from matching materials for a cohesive look. We design seating that drains properly so you never sit in a puddle after Oregon's inevitable rain.

Planter Boxes & Raised Beds - Cedar planter boxes and raised garden beds built to your dimensions. Lined and designed to drain properly without rotting the surrounding structure. Perfect for coastal vegetable gardens and ornamental plantings.

Outdoor Storage & Utility Structures - Tool sheds, firewood storage, kayak racks, and utility enclosures. Every structure is built to withstand coastal weather and designed to match your home's existing aesthetic.

Trim Work & Unique Projects - Custom exterior trim, decorative brackets, outdoor shelving, and one-of-a-kind woodworking projects. If it's made of wood and lives outside, we can build it to last in coastal conditions.

Fencing & Carpentry FAQ

Western red cedar is the best all-around choice for coastal Oregon fencing. It naturally resists rot, insect damage, and moisture absorption without chemical treatment. With proper installation and periodic sealing, a cedar fence on the coast can last 15-25 years. We avoid pressure-treated pine for fence boards in coastal applications because the salt air accelerates the corrosion of the treatment chemicals.

We set fence posts a minimum of 36 inches deep in coastal Lincoln County - deeper than the standard 24 inches recommended for inland fences. Each post is set in concrete with a slight crown to shed water away from the wood. The extra depth is essential for resisting the sustained 40-60 mph winds common along the Oregon Coast, especially during winter storms.

In most coastal locations, we recommend spaced boards or a semi-privacy design over solid panels. Solid fences act as a sail in high wind, putting enormous stress on posts and rails until they fail. A fence with 1/2-inch to 1-inch spacing between boards lets wind pass through while still providing privacy and reducing wind speed in your yard by 50-70%. We'll assess your specific site exposure and recommend the right design.

Yes. In addition to fencing, we build pergolas, arbors, planter boxes, outdoor benches, storage structures, and other custom woodworking projects. Every structure is designed for the specific wind and moisture conditions at your property. Call (541) 270-0274 for a free consultation on your project.
