A finished full-height cedar privacy fence running along a coastal South Carolina yard, warm bleached-cedar boards and a straight post line Built & restored
along the Beaufort coast
Beaufort County· Hilton Head· Bluffton· Port Royal· Ridgeland· Lady’s Island

Condition  /  Restored

Same fence. Two seasons.

Salt air bleaches coastal cedar faster than anything inland. Grey grain, a chalky salt film and rails lifting off the post line are what exposure looks like — not what the end of a fence looks like. Wash it, reset it, oil it, and the color comes back.

Condition Salt-bleached grain, grey to the touch, post line starting to lean.
The same cedar privacy fence freshly washed and oiled, warm bleached-cedar color and a straight post line
Restored Washed, dried in the coast air, oiled back to cedar. The line runs true.

The salt-air log

Logged the same way, every run.

Condition, work, result — written down while the boards are open. Repair, restore and build all get the same three lines.

01 Repair

Split rails, heaving posts

Condition

Cedar silvered on the weather side, pickets lifting, posts working loose in tidal soil.

Work

Pulled the loose line, reset and sistered the posts, replaced what was split, set the run back to height.

Result

Straight line, gate swinging clean, the original panels still doing their job.

02 Restore

Board-on-board, gone grey

Condition

Full salt film over an overlapped board-on-board run and no color left in the grain.

Work

Washed the run down, let it dry in the coast air, then oiled it back board by board.

Result

Cedar color returns, boards tighten up, and the fence reads new from the road.

03 Build

Cedar privacy with a tabby column

Condition

Bare yard with no fence line and an open corner where the drive meets the property.

Work

Set the posts, ran full-height cedar privacy, finished the corner with a tabby column and a cedar gate.

Result

Full height, tight spacing between boards, a gate that latches clean against the column.

Finished tabby column and cedar gate at the corner of a fence run beside a shell path
Tabby column and gate — the corner finished by hand.
