Additionally, installing Modwood fencing will save your time and money in the long run. No piled-up maintenance costs, nor the time you would spend on replacing rotten or chipped paling. Modwood, on the other hand, does not splinter.
Modwood manufacturer also provides a 10 Year Residential Warranty.
