How Long Should a Timber Paling Fence Last?
Durability of pales depend on their material, treatment and weather exposures. Treated pine pales last around 15-20 years. Pressure treatments make the pales stronger.
At City Fencing, all our pales are pressure treated for extended life. We also suggest regular painting and sealing that will help prevent them against any moisture damage.
