Pressure-Treated Dog Ear Fence in Hampton Roads
The most popular and affordable wood fence option in Hampton Roads. Pressure-treated pine is built to resist rot, insects, and Virginia Beach's coastal humidity — without the cedar price tag.
Hampton Roads' Most Popular Wood Fence
Pressure-treated pine is the backbone of wood fencing across Hampton Roads. The "pressure-treated" process forces preservatives deep into the wood fibers under pressure, creating a material that resists rot, insects, and moisture — everything the coastal Hampton Roads climate throws at it. It's why this is the most popular fence choice for budget-conscious homeowners across Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, and Norfolk.
Pair that treated pine with the classic dog ear picket cut — diagonal cuts on the top corners of each picket — and you get a fence that looks right at home in any Hampton Roads neighborhood. Simple, clean, and classic.
One thing to know: freshly pressure-treated wood has a slight green tint from the copper-based preservatives. This fades naturally to a warm gray over a few months. If you want to stain it, wait about 6 months for the wood to fully dry first. With proper care, a pressure-treated fence in Hampton Roads will last 15–25 years or more.

Pressure-Treated Fence FAQs
The green tint comes from copper-based preservatives that are forced into the wood under pressure during treatment. These preservatives are what make the wood resistant to rot and insects. The green color is completely normal and fades to a natural gray over the first few months after installation.
"We had Kempsville Fence build a 6-foot cedar privacy fence around our entire backyard — about 280 linear feet. The owner was on-site every day, the crew was professional and courteous, and they finished a day early. The fence looks absolutely beautiful. Highly recommend!"
