Cedar privacy fence

Wichita’s Most-Requested Fence

A Warm Wall Around Your Yard.

Solid boards, warm color, a clean line. Cedar is the fence Ovora builds most often around Wichita. It’s the heart of our cedar privacy fence installation in Wichita. Want no upkeep instead? Look at vinyl privacy fences. Building it to hold a dog? Read the best fence for dogs in Wichita.

What holds it up

Wood posts rot, lean, and heave out of the ground within a few Kansas winters — it's the single most common reason a fence fails early. Ovora conceals a galvanized steel post inside every cedar fence and sets steel on every fence type we install, as standard. Not an upgrade option.

Cedar privacy fencing is the fence people picture when they picture a backyard. Solid boards, warm color, and a clean line that turns an open lot into a room. Below: the four board styles we build, what stain can do to them, and why the posts underneath matter more than anything you can see.

Four Cedar Styles

Same Wood. Very Different Fence.

Most people picture one cedar fence. There are four, and the board pattern changes the look, the privacy, and the way the fence handles wind. Here is what each one actually is. Drag any panel to see the back of it.

Standard cedar privacy fence panel — boards set edge to edge

The Wichita default

Standard Privacy

Solid cedar boards set tight, edge to edge, on one face of the rails — the clean, classic wall most Wichita backyards ask for, built from full-dimension boards.

  • Single clean layer, set tight
  • Solid sightline from your side
  • Lowest cost of the four
Horizontal cedar fence panel, boards run side to side with a 2x6 cedar cap on top

Modern, and it hides nothing

Horizontal

Cedar boards run side to side, set tight, with a 2x6 cedar cap on top. Clean lines and a solid wall, on the same hidden steel posts as every other cedar fence we build.

  • Boards run side to side, set tight
  • 2x6 cedar cap on top
  • Steel posts hidden behind cedar

The finished top

Trim and Cap

The standard privacy section with a 2x6 cedar cap laid flat on top and a 1x4 cedar trim board across the face under it. The cap sheds water off the end grain, and the trim line makes the whole run read as one piece.

  • 2x6 cedar cap on every section
  • 1x4 cedar trim across the face
  • Protects the picket tops
Shadow-box cedar fence panel — boards alternating front and back

Good on both sides

Shadow-Box

Boards alternate front and back of the rail and overlap at the edges. It looks finished from your yard and your neighbor's, and air moves through it — which matters on an exposed run.

  • Same face both sides
  • Lets Kansas wind pass through
  • Common HOA favorite

Every cedar style is built on a steel post hidden inside the fence, covered by a picket on both sides. Toggle it on to see it.

Heights, gate placement, and how a run steps down a slope get settled in your yard, on the quote — not guessed at from a website.

Stain & Color

Leave It Raw, or Pick a Color.

Cedar silvers on its own, and plenty of people want that. If you want a color, there are twenty-six. Stain is optional and priced on your quote up front. We stain existing fences too.

Transparent Fence Series

Seven colors

Grain and knots stay visible. Click any color to see it on real fences.

Real swatches, and we bring samples too. These are Wood Defender’s own photos, used with permission. A screen is still a screen, so we put a real sample in your hand before you commit. Availability varies by color and size at the dealer.

Built for Kansas

Three Things Kill a Fence Here.

Wind, sun, and ground that never sits still. Open one to see how cedar handles it.

Wind: A solid fence is a sail
A privacy fence catches every gust that crosses your yard, and all of that load ends up in the posts. Wood posts work loose and start to lean. Ours do not — there is galvanized steel inside every one.
Sun: Cedar takes the summer
Western red cedar has natural oils that resist rot and insects without chemical treatment. Left alone it silvers. Stained, it holds color through the long, bright end of a Kansas summer.
Freeze–thaw: The ground moves here
Kansas soil swells and shrinks with every wet-freeze-dry cycle, and that is what heaves a fence out of the ground. Posts set 30 inches deep, below the frost line, stay put through it.

How the Build Goes

You Pick the Fence. We Carry the Weight.

Recent cedar jobs run 200 to 285 linear feet, up in 4 to 5 days.

01. We measure your yard, not a map
We walk every run, mark gate locations, and note the slope, the trees, and the neighbor’s existing fence. Then you get an itemized price in writing before we leave — including the stain line if you want one.
02. 811 gets called on every job
Utility locates happen before a single hole is dug. Every job, no exceptions, no shortcuts because a run looks obvious.
03. The price does not move
Tree roots, rock, hard ground after a dry August — that is our problem to solve, not a change order we hand you. What you signed is what you pay.
04. You hear from us daily
Your Project Manager texts you an update every day the crew is on site. You never have to call and ask whether anything happened.
1-Year Workmanship Warranty

Every installation carries a one-year warranty on our own workmanship, and the materials we install carry their manufacturers' warranties — including a residential lifetime limited warranty on the PostMaster+ steel post inside every cedar fence.
