Black Locust Decorative Fence



Black Locust Lumber, CitiLog's sister company, provided the Premium Graded Black Locust fence that was installed at this Private Residence in Pennsylvania. Black Locust is an ideal material choice for fencing because of its natural rot resistance. It will maintain its durability even when placed in the ground. 

As Black Locust weathers it will begin to develop a silvery-gray patina. This color occurs as Black Locust is exposed to elements such as UV rays, rain, snow, and oxygen. Soon, this fence will begin to develop this beautiful gray color.

  1. How does the black locust compare to standard oak fencing? Look great though!

  2. Hi Todd! Black Locust is an extremely durable and rot-resistant wood. It has been used in fencing applications for years due to the direct ground impact of the material. The material can last for 50 years completely unfinished.

    Thanks Todd!
