Inland Cedar and Western Red Cedar
When choosing between Inland Cedar and Western Red Cedar for a new fence installation, consider several key differences. Inland Cedar, also known as Eastern White Cedar, is a lighter wood with a slightly lower price point than Western Red Cedar. It offers good resistance to decay and insects but may require more frequent maintenance and finishing to maintain its appearance.
On the other hand, Western Red Cedar is renowned for its natural beauty, rich color variations, and exceptional durability against decay and insects. It requires less maintenance and is more dimensionally stable than Inland Cedar, making it a popular choice for premium fence installations.
Since Western Red Cedar offers superior durability and visual appeal for a long-lasting fence, it is the only Cedar we use at Sterling Fence Inc., Eden Prairie. By choosing Sterling Fence Inc., you are assured of a high-quality fence that combines the natural beauty and strength of Western Red Cedar, ensuring your fence remains attractive and resilient for years to come.

Driving or Cementing Posts for Chain Link Fencing
When it comes to installing a chain-link fence, the method of setting the posts can make a significant difference in the fence's durability and stability.
Driving posts involves using a post driver to hammer the posts directly into the ground. This method is faster and more straightforward, making it suitable for temporary fences or areas with softer soil. However, it may not provide as much long-term stability compared to cementing.
Cementing posts involves digging holes for the posts and filling them with concrete to secure the posts firmly in place. While this method takes more time and effort initially, it results in a more robust and long-lasting fence, especially in areas with challenging soil conditions or high winds.
At Sterling Fence Inc., cementing posts is our standard practice, ensuring greater longevity for our customers’ chain-link fencing. By choosing Sterling Fence Inc., you are investing in a fence that stands the test of time, providing both security and durability.
