Frequently Asked Questions

  • How long do cedar fences last in Wisconsin weather?

    Cedar fences typically last 15 to 20 years or more when properly maintained, even in Wisconsin's changing climate. Cedar naturally resists moisture and rot, making it ideal for Neenah's seasonal weather. At Winnebago Fence LLC, we ensure proper post setting and spacing to maximize long-term stability.
  • What's the most low-maintenance fencing option?

    Vinyl fencing is the most low-maintenance option available. It resists moisture, rot, and seasonal weather changes without needing paint or stain. At Winnebago Fence LLC, we recommend vinyl for homeowners in Neenah seeking long-term durability with minimal upkeep.
  • When should I repair a fence instead of replacing it?

    Repair is cost-effective when damage is limited to a few posts or panels and the overall structure remains sound. Full replacement makes sense for aging fences with widespread wear or storm damage. Winnebago Fence LLC provides honest recommendations focused on safety and long-term value.
  • What affects the cost of a wood fence installation?

    Cost depends on fence height, linear footage, wood type, and site conditions like soil or terrain. Custom designs and gate additions also affect pricing. At Winnebago Fence LLC, we provide free estimates with clear, upfront pricing for residential and commercial properties in Neenah.
  • What's the difference between cedar and vinyl fencing?

    Cedar offers natural beauty and proven durability, while vinyl provides a modern appearance with no maintenance required. Cedar needs occasional staining; vinyl resists rot and weather without upkeep. Both are popular choices throughout Neenah depending on aesthetic preference and long-term goals.

At Winnebago Fence LLC, we custom install walk gates and driveway gates compatible with any fence type.
