Hi everyone,
I’m planning to upgrade my backyard with a san diego wood fence, but I want something that can handle the coastal climate—salt air, moisture, and strong sun. I’ve been comparing different wood types like cedar and redwood, and I’m trying to figure out which performs best long-term in San Diego’s conditions.

If anyone has installed wood fencing recently, how did you handle issues like warping, termites, and spacing for ventilation? I’m also interested in gate stability and post-depth recommendations for sandy or rocky soil.
