Wood

Bravo Fence is pleased to offer a wide selection of styles in wood fencing.  Stockade, Board-on Board, Shadowbox and Pickett are standard styles that we custom build on site to your specifications.  Our craftsmen also create a variety of custom styles that are distinctive and unique.  Homeowner Association or Historic District Codes are our specialty.  All gates come with a welded frame.

 

Bravo Fence offers all natural cypress as well as pressure treated pine to suit your needs.  We prefer cypress as a rule because of its natural beauty, durability and bug and rot resistance.  Cypress is the most environmentally "green" option as there are no chemicals added and, therefore, no chemicals present to leech into the environment as the fence ages.  Cypress is a slow growth, renewable resource that is most suitable to the Florida environemnt.  The average cypress pickett will display as much as forty years of growth when a cross section is studied. This compares to eight to ten years of growth in a pine pickett of equal size.  This means you are purchasing a much denser wood that will last longer in the harsh Florida sun and rain.

 

If pressure treated pine is your preference, we offer that as well.  In the past, pine was treated with arsenic which took about one year to completely leech out of the wood and into the ground water.  Because arsenic is a poison, it was replaced several years ago with a copper based additive.  Unfortunately, this chemical protects the wood for even less time before it washes out of the wood and into the environment.  Pine is a fast growth, low density, soft wood that needs protection from the weather and insects. 

 

Homeowners are encouraged to care for wood fences by pressure washing and sealing the fence with a product that we offer called WoodRx.  This is a water based deck and dock sealer made in Ft Myers for harsh Florida conditions and salt exposure.  It would be reasonable to expect a WoodRx sealed fence to last many years longer than and untreated fence.

 

Whatever you choose, we will professionally install your fence in a timely manner and guarantee your satisfaction.
