The wind laid my fence over. What do I do first?
What to do after wind knocks your fence down
Secure the yard, keep the dogs in, prop the loose section if it is safe, then call. Most wind damage in Lubbock is a post problem, and panels on a reset post go back up without a rebuild.

How soon after the build should I stain the fence?
When should a new cedar fence be stained in Lubbock?
Not the day it is built. Fresh cedar carries moisture, and stain will not soak into wet wood. In Lubbock's dry air a new fence is usually ready in a few weeks. Sprinkle water on a board: if it soaks in within a minute, the wood is ready.

Cedar or pine for a privacy fence in Lubbock?
Cedar vs pine fence pickets in West Texas
Cedar. Treated pine goes on the fence wet and dries out fast in Lubbock's low humidity, so it twists, cups and checks. Cedar is more stable, resists rot and insects on its own, and takes an oil-based stain well. We use cedar pickets, never pine pickets; the rails are pine 2x4s.

Which privacy fence style should I pick?
Board on board vs dog ear vs gothic point: which privacy fence style?
Board on board for the most privacy and wind block and the same look from both sides. Dog ear for a clean, even back-yard fence that uses the least material. Gothic point when the top line is on show from the street. All three are cedar on steel posts, 6 ft or 7 ft.
