Wooden Options

Regarding options for your gray privacy fence, and you want a wood fence, we strongly recommend installing the wooden privacy fence of your choice and painting it in the desired color. Superior Fence & Rail offers many different styles of wood fencing, from semi-privacy to full privacy styles and much more. Board-on-board style wood fencing offers complete privacy with overlapping boards, while stockade wood fencing offers privacy with boards that abut one another but do not overlap. Shadowbox-style wood fencing offers some privacy but is not completely opaque when viewed from an angle and, therefore, it also offers less wind resistance.

Visit our wood fencing gallery to see the full menu of the styles we offer.

Superior builds all our wood fences from scratch on-site using only Superior pressure-treated pine. This allows for a custom construction that is stronger than pre-built panels, and your wooden fence will be built to last. Although wood fencing is not as durable or long-lasting as vinyl or aluminum fencing, with proper preventative maintenance, your wood fence can still look good for years. Staining, painting, or sealing your fence offers surface protection against weathering, fading, and changes in climate.

We make all the standard styles of wood fences and customize wood fencing for customers with specific ideas about what type of wood fencing will accentuate their home or business. Please call a team member to get an estimate for your new wood fence.

Painting, Staining, Or Sealing Your Wood Privacy Fence

While Superior Fence & Rail is the highest-rated fence company in the Dayton and Cincinnati area, we are not painters. We do not offer fence painting or staining services. We can only advise you of the best practices when doing so. Read on to learn more about our recommendations.

Recommended Best Practices When Painting Your Wooden Fencing

While synthetic fences require very little maintenance, your Superior wood fence will require maintenance to ensure your fence continues to look beautiful for years to come. Finishing your fence with a sealant, stain, or paint is highly recommended for protection from the effects of sun, rain, and temperature changes on your wood.

Depending on weather conditions and the pre-treatment process your wood has undergone, your wood fence should ideally be sealed, painted, or stained within 30 days to 6 weeks after installation. You do not want to seal your fence immediately after construction. Allowing 4 – 6 weeks will allow the wood to expand and contract with the amount of sunlight and temperature variations of your local climate. This is called curing.

When painting your wood fence, choose an alkyd oil-based primer. You must prime every surface of your wood, including cut ends. Finish with two coats of top-quality acrylic latex paint. As with staining, you must ensure your wood is completely dry before priming and painting. Perform the sprinkle test by applying a few drops of water onto the surface of your wood. If any beading occurs, wait and test again in a few days. Paint must be reapplied as needed to maintain a beautiful finish. This could be annually or otherwise, depending on your environmental conditions and the location of your wood fence.

Gray Privacy Fence Top Exterior Colors

Over the last decade, many top painting manufacturers have amped up their selection of gray-toned paint options. Although there are many choices, Agreeable Gray from Sherwin Williams and Coventry Gray from Benjamin Moore continue to stand out in both interior and exterior applications. Remember that you want to use high-quality acrylic latex paint for your fence. Any reputable paint store can help you choose the perfect shade of gray for exterior use, and they can also color match the color for you as well.
