Wood fencing brings a natural warmth to any Tampa Bay property that vinyl and aluminum simply can't replicate. MCM Fence LLC builds wood fences in board-on-board, shadowbox, stockade, and picket styles using only pressure-treated lumber rated for ground contact in Florida's climate. We don't cut corners with untreated pine that rots in a Florida summer. Every post goes in concrete, every board is selected for straightness, and every installation is built to give you years of solid performance before any maintenance is needed.
Key Benefits
- Pressure-treated lumber only: We use ground-contact-rated PT lumber on every job — the difference between a fence that lasts 15 years and one that rots in 4.
- Board-on-board and shadowbox styles: Classic Tampa Bay privacy styles that look great from both sides of the fence.
- Picket and stockade options: From charming front-yard picket to solid stockade privacy panels, we build the style that fits your property.
- Custom heights: 4-foot, 6-foot, and 8-foot options to match your privacy needs and local ordinance requirements.
- Concrete-set posts: Every post set in concrete with proper depth for Hillsborough County soil conditions.
- Stain and seal ready: We can apply a premium exterior stain/sealer at installation to extend the life of your fence significantly.
Why MCM Fence for Wood Fence
Wood fence is only as good as the lumber and the install. MCM Fence has been building wood fences across Tampa Bay for over 10 years, and we've seen what happens when contractors use cheap, untreated boards or skip the concrete on posts. We don't do either. Every job is built right from the ground up, with materials that are honest about what Florida weather demands.
Wood Fence Installation Across Tampa Bay
The classic choice, built to last in Florida. Wood fence has defined Tampa Bay neighborhoods for generations — the warm, natural look of a properly built board-on-board or picket fence is something no synthetic material fully copies. The key word is “properly built.” Wood fence in Florida demands the right materials and the right installation, or it becomes a maintenance headache within a few years.
Lumber choice is everything. MCM Fence uses pressure-treated lumber on every wood fence we build. In Tampa Bay’s combination of heat, humidity, and frequent rainfall, untreated or low-grade lumber will warp, rot, and fail faster than you’d believe. Ground-contact rated PT posts. Above-ground rated rails and pickets (or cedar for a premium finish). These aren’t upsells — they’re the baseline for a fence that performs.
Styles that suit Tampa Bay properties. Board-on-board is the dominant Tampa Bay privacy style: alternating pickets on both sides of the rail create a solid panel that looks finished from inside and outside your yard. Shadowbox offers similar privacy with slight gaps that let the breeze through — ideal for properties where airflow matters. Stockade gives you tight-board privacy without alternating boards. Classic picket keeps your front yard charming.
Built and installed correctly. Every post goes in concrete. We dig to proper depth for Hillsborough County’s soil conditions, pour concrete, and allow it to cure before we hang rails and pickets. We select boards for straightness on the job site and discard warped material. It takes a little more time than slapping boards up fast, but the result is a fence that stays true for years.
Custom heights and gates. Standard 6-foot privacy is the most common request, but we build 4-foot, 5-foot, and 8-foot fences as needed. We build matching wood gates in single, double, and pedestrian configurations to match any fence style.
