Our privacy fence boards are commonly produced from SPF (Spruce Pine Fir) and SYP (Southern Yellow Pine), two softwood species widely used in outdoor fencing. Each offers distinct advantages depending on how your fence is built and how much structural demand it will carry. SPF is a lighter wood that is easy to handle and install, making it a practical choice for fence boards and pickets. When pressure treated, SPF performs well in outdoor environments and provides a strong balance of durability and cost control. Many residential privacy fences use SPF for its consistent appearance and reliable performance. SYP is a denser and stronger wood, offering greater natural resistance to decay and higher load capacity. It is often used where added strength matters, such as in fence systems that carry heavier panels or experience more stress over time. Southern Yellow Pine provides solid structural integrity for privacy fencing that needs long-term stability and strength.

Service life depends on installation and soil conditions, but treated boards offer many years of reliable performance. They resist decay and weathering common in Michigan and other climates with seasonal change.
