Cedar Fencing Manufactured by Mae Fence
Since 1927, the Mae family has built lasting relationships with trusted lumber mills, helping us source premium cedar for the fencing we manufacture in-house. This includes core-cut cedar posts made from the durable center portion of the tree for added strength and longevity.
By manufacturing the finished fencing ourselves, we maintain greater control over dimensions, board spacing, style, and construction quality. The same company that manufactures your fence also installs it and remains available if you need service afterward.
We manufacture it. We install it. We stand behind it.

During your free estimate, a Mae Fence project specialist will measure the proposed fence line, discuss your preferred style and gates, and provide detailed pricing for your specific project.
Caring for Your Cedar Fence
Cedar can be left unfinished and will naturally weather to a soft silver-gray over time. Staining or sealing is optional, but it can help preserve the wood’s original color and provide additional protection from sunlight and moisture. If you choose to stain your fence, the maintenance schedule will depend on the stain, wood surface, sun exposure, and weather conditions. Inspect the finish periodically and follow the stain manufacturer’s recommendations rather than relying on a fixed schedule. Routine care is simple: keep leaves and debris from collecting against the fence, address mildew or heavy dirt when it appears, and periodically inspect boards, posts, gates, and hardware for damage.
Note: Mae Fence does not currently offer staining services. Your project specialist may be able to provide general recommendations for maintaining your cedar fence.

Small lengthwise openings called “checks” can naturally develop as cedar adjusts to changes in moisture and outdoor conditions. Checking is especially common in thicker wood posts and, in most cases, is cosmetic rather than a structural concern. Some homeowners even appreciate the natural, rustic character it adds. If a check appears unusually wide or deep, passes completely through the post, or is accompanied by leaning or movement, send photos to our service department. Our team will review the area and let you know whether further inspection is recommended.

A well-built cedar fence can last 20 to 30 years in Ohio's climate, ifmaintained properly. We recommend staining or sealing it every 2 to 3 years to protect the wood's natural cedar grain and keep it weather-resistant through freeze-thaw cycles and humid summers.

A cedar fence should be stained or sealed within six weeks of installation to help preserve the wood's original color and provide additional protection from sunlight and moisture. However, cedar can be left unfinished and it will naturally weather to a soft silver-gray over time.
