Imagine a fence that lasts a long time, looks great, and helps protect the environment. You might not think such a fence exists, but it does, with cedar battens. At Billboard Lumber Company, we believe cedar battens are the best way to build stylish and durable fences. When you choose to buy cedar battens, you are choosing quality, reliability, and a look that never goes out of style.


What Makes Cedar Batten Fencing Special?


Cedar battens are narrow strips of cedar wood that are often used in a "board-and-batten" fencing design. This means wide boards are placed vertically, and slim cedar battens cover the seams or add special patterns. The result is a fence that looks clean, modern, and attractive.

Our cedar is harvested from local forests in Oregon. Because we grow and mill the wood close to where it's used, the wood stays fresh and strong. That freshness helps the fence hold its shape and finish longer.


Benefits of Cedar Fencing


There are many benefits of cedar fencing, especially when you use battens:

·         Natural Durability: Cedar has oils that resist insects and rotting. This keeps fences strong even in wet or hot weather.

·         Low Maintenance: Cedar does not need much care. It looks good for years with just a yearly wash or optional stain.

·         Nice Appearance: Cedar has beautiful grain and colors that fit many styles, from rustic to modern.

·         Environmentally Friendly: Cedar is a renewable resource. When harvested responsibly, it helps protect forests and reduce carbon impact.


These benefits mean cedar fences last longer and look better over time. That saves money and helps the Earth.


Why Custom Cedar Battens Matter?


Every fence project is different. With custom cedar battens, we can cut each piece exactly as needed, whether for length, width, or edge shape. Custom sizes reduce waste and make sure every board fits right the first time. For builders and contractors, this means less time measuring, sawing, and fixing mistakes. Custom battens help teams work faster and reduce jobsite mess. They also make sure the finished fence is straight and neat.
