Featured Project Installing 500 Feet of Custom Cedar Privacy Fencing in Eau Claire, WI Living on a busy corner lot in Eau Claire has its perks, but dealing with constant intersection traffic, blinding headlights, and sidewalk pedestrians staring straight into your backyard isn't one of them. For one local homeowner, attempting to enjoy dinner on the patio or relax in the yard felt like sitting on a public stage. They needed a massive, 500-foot perimeter barrier that could block out street-level views, dampen relentless traffic noise, and hold up against harsh Wisconsin weather, all without costing an absolute fortune. They ultimately turned to WI Fence. We brought out our crew, measured the perimeter, and installed 500 linear feet of 100% genuine cedar privacy fencing to turn an exposed corner lot into a private, secluded retreat. Key Takeaways THE CHALLENGE: High traffic volume and noise exposure at a busy Eau Claire intersection created a severe lack of residential backyard privacy. THE PROCESS: Build 500 feet of 6-foot standard cedar privacy fencing set along the corner property perimeter. THE RESULT: A sturdy 500-foot natural wood barrier that blocks street traffic views and establishes quiet backyard privacy. Corner lots on high-traffic roads require tall, solid fencing to buffer noise and create private outdoor living areas. Cedar provides natural rot resistance and dimensional stability, making it an ideal real-wood material for large perimeter fence installations. Project Summary Client Profile: Residential Corner Lot Owner Project Location: Eau Claire, WI Primary Objective: Construct 500 feet of perimeter privacy fencing to isolate a residential yard from intersection traffic. System Installed: 500 feet of 6-foot standard cedar wood privacy fence. Key Outcome: Effective visual isolation, traffic noise reduction, and a durable natural wood structure prepared for staining. The Challenge: Intersection Traffic & Unwanted Eyes Corner properties present unique privacy hurdles. With vehicular traffic passing by on two sides, open yards lose their functionality fast. Everyday family time gets interrupted by noise, and pets get easily agitated by constant street movement. During our initial site walkthrough, our owner, Jake, evaluated the property line and determined that a continuous 6-foot solid wood boundary extending 500 feet along the perimeter was the absolute best solution. Why cedar? Unlike cheap, chemically treated lumber that warps, twists, and shrinks over time, 100% genuine cedar possesses natural oils that resist rot, insect damage, and moisture decay. It delivers timeless real-wood beauty and long-term dimensional stability, giving the homeowner maximum bang for their buck. 500 Feet Built Fast, Straight, and Rock-Solid Tackling a 500-foot fence build is no small task, but at WI Fence, we live for big projects. We don't drag builds out for weeks or leave jobs half-finished. With Jake overseeing quality control on site, our crew worked efficiently to set every single post securely in the ground, verifying string lines to guarantee every foot of the 500-foot run was dead-level and plumb. "Installing 500 feet of standard cedar provided the homeowner with full visual privacy along a busy intersection at a reasonable price." - (Jake, WI Fence) Our installers tightly placed every vertical cedar picket to form a seamless, gap-free 6-foot wall that immediately shut out the street.

We use 100% cedar because it is naturally resistant to rot, insects, and splitting without chemical treatments. Cedar stays flatter and resists twisting better than pressure-treated wood in Wisconsin winters. Should a new cedar fence be stained immediately after installation? It is best to allow new cedar pickets to dry for a few weeks to lower moisture levels before applying stain. Applying a quality outdoor wood stain seals the wood and preserves its color. How long does 500 feet of wood privacy fencing take to install? Large wood fence projects of 500 feet typically take 1 to 2 days to complete, depending on soil conditions and site preparation requirements. Our crew works efficiently to minimize yard disruption.
