Modern Lifetime Cedar Fence System

Learn About OurModern Lifetime Cedar Fence System

Our Modern Lifetime Cedar is a premium, exclusive product designed by Modern Fencing Company for Northwest Indiana properties. We designed a wood fence that's virtually fail-proof.

We pre-stain durable Western red cedar to completely coat the fence, including parts you can't reach after installation. And thanks to our steel posts, each fence is built to last.

Popular Uses:

  • Privacy Fences
  • Security Fences
  • Perimeter Fences
  • Garden Fences

Why Most Wood Fences Fail

Most traditional wood fences fail long before the wood boards wear out. The biggest issues usually come from the fence's structure.

Common failure points include:

  • Wood posts rotting in the ground
  • Fence posts leaning over time
  • Uneven weathering when stain is applied after installation
  • Warping and twisting from moisture exposure
  • Shorter overall lifespan due to structural movement

These problems are exactly why we built the Modern Lifetime Cedar fence system.

Why Most Wood Fences Fail and our Modern Lifetime Cedar is better

Why Homeowners Choose Modern Lifetime Cedar

Premium Western Red Cedar

We use natural Western red cedar, known for its durability and natural resistance to insects, moisture, and decay.

Professional Pre-Stained Lumber

Each cedar board is stained before installation using our professional dipping system. This protects all sides of the wood, including areas that cannot be reached after the fence is installed.

14-Gauge Powder-Coated Steel Posts

Our fences use steel posts instead of traditional wood posts, eliminating the most common failure point in wood fencing.

3x3 Heavy-Duty Structural Posts

Square steel posts provide superior strength and long-term stability.

Engineered Fence System

The Modern Lifetime Cedar fence system combines premium materials and professional installation to create a fence designed for long-term durability.

Traditional cedar fences have wood posts and are not typically pre-stained, while Modern Lifetime Cedar fences are both pre-stained and built with strong, 14-gauge steel posts to support each panel. Modern Fencing Company created the Modern Lifetime Cedar fence system to solve the most common problems homeowners face with wood fences, so they can enjoy the beauty and quality of Western red cedar without the hassle of constant maintenance or fence failure.

We use Western red cedar because of its natural durability and resistance to rot, fungus, and pests. It's an extremely durable wood that withstands Northwest Indiana's freeze-thaw cycle without issue, and it's far less prone to warping, bowing, and cracking compared to other woods.

A pre-stained Modern Lifetime Cedar is likely to last longer and outperform any non-prestained fence. We use a professional dipping system to ensure every board, post, and rail is evenly coated prior to installation, so even the "hidden" parts of the system are protected once your fence is put together.

Modern Lifetime Cedar uses 14-gauge steel posts, powder-coated to enhance weather resistance. Unlike cedar fences with wood posts, the Modern Lifetime Cedar fence is crafted with stronger, water- and rust-resistant steel to withstand high wind loads and prevent rot.

Modern Fencing Company offers a Limited Lifetime Warranty on cedar boards installed as part of the Modern Lifetime Cedar system. This warranty entitles the owner of the fence to free repair or replacement for rot, fungal decay, or pest infestation during the warranty period in a normal residential setting. Re-staining by our team is required every 3 years to maintain coverage.
