Re: Cook county Plat of Survey?
The grey color is the natural weathered look, you can seal or treat it (wait 60 days after installation to allow the cedar to dry first). Most of the yards in our neighborhook have fences so treating the outer side isn't an option without climbing over. We've elected to be lazy and let it weather naturally.
However, with cedar you can get a power washer and blast it and it will look new again for a summer.
Here's some photos from our fence project in 07:

(Lots of fun with neighbors encroaching over the property line, including 2 flower beds and some large trees.)
In the photos you can see the other neighbor's fence (he said it's 10 or 12 years old). Ours is still quite a bit lighter than his, but it's grey now and not "wood colored".
EDIT: Ours is 5' high, not 6'. In LZ you can't go above 6 unless you face a busy street. |
