Redwood Fence with Wooden Frame and Black Painted Panels – Pasadena, California

Our recent project in Pasadena, CA, completed by ProHands Handyman, perfectly demonstrates how the warmth of natural wood and the precision of skilled carpentry can create a fence that’s both beautiful and long-lasting.

This custom-built fence features a solid wooden frame and redwood panels, carefully painted in a deep black finish for a modern yet timeless look.

Why Redwood Is the Perfect Choice for Pasadena Homes

California’s climate demands materials that can handle intense sunlight, temperature changes, and occasional rain. That’s why redwood continues to be the gold standard for exterior wood structures.

Here’s why redwood stands out:

1. Naturally resistant to moisture and decay.

Redwood contains natural oils and tannins that protect it from mold, termites, and rot — even without chemical treatment.

2. Dimensionally stable.

It doesn’t warp or crack easily, even in fluctuating weather conditions.

3. Long lifespan.

When properly maintained and sealed, a redwood fence can last 20–25 years or more.

4. Beautiful natural texture.

Even when painted, the grain of redwood remains visible, adding depth and character to the fence’s surface.

5. Eco-friendly.

Redwood is a renewable resource sourced from sustainably managed forests in California.

Step 1: Site Preparation and Frame Construction

Before any work began, our team assessed the property layout to determine the best alignment and height for the fence. The goal was to create a durable structure that provided both privacy and visual harmony with the home’s exterior.

We built the wooden structural frame using carefully selected, kiln-dried lumber. Each vertical post and horizontal rail was precisely leveled and anchored to ensure a solid foundation.

To extend the fence’s lifespan, all wooden frame components were pre-treated with a moisture-resistant sealer before installation. This step prevents early decay and enhances adhesion for later painting.

Step 2: Installing the Redwood Panels

Once the frame was completed, we began installing the redwood panels, cut and adjusted individually to ensure a tight, consistent fit.

We used concealed fasteners to keep the surface smooth and visually seamless. This not only improves aesthetics but also protects the fasteners from exposure to moisture and sunlight.

Every seam and joint was sealed with weather-resistant caulk to prevent water infiltration — a critical step for the long-term performance of any wood fence in Southern California.

Step 3: Painting the Fence – Deep Black for a Modern Finish

After installation, the entire fence was sanded, cleaned, and coated with two layers of premium exterior paint in a rich, matte black tone.

This bold color choice creates a sleek, architectural look while highlighting the natural grain of the redwood beneath. It also offers practical benefits:

• Enhanced UV protection, preventing the wood from fading or cracking.

• Additional water resistance, extending the lifespan of the panels.

• Low-maintenance — dust and dirt are barely visible on matte black surfaces.

• A stylish, contemporary appearance that complements any landscape design.

Step 4: Finishing Touches and Quality Check

Once the paint dried, our team performed a detailed inspection of every section of the fence. We verified that each panel was securely fastened, properly aligned, and free of imperfections.

To complete the project, we applied a clear water-repellent topcoat to further protect the surface and preserve the color depth over time.

The final result — a perfectly straight, solid, and visually striking fence that instantly elevated the property’s curb appeal.

Caring for a Redwood Fence – Expert Maintenance Tips

Even though redwood is naturally durable, proper care ensures it remains beautiful for decades. Here are our expert tips:

1. Clean annually.

Wash your fence once a year using mild soap and water to remove dust, debris, and stains. Avoid high-pressure washing.

2. Repaint or reseal every 2–3 years.

A light sanding and fresh coat of paint or sealer will help maintain water resistance and color richness.

3. Inspect base areas.

Keep the bottom of the fence at least an inch above the soil to prevent moisture absorption and premature aging.

4. Check joints and sealant.

Reapply sealant to gaps or joints that show signs of wear to protect against rain and humidity.

Following these steps will allow your redwood fence to remain solid, stylish, and protected for many years.

The Result – Elegant, Strong, and Built to Last

This project in Pasadena represents a balance between traditional craftsmanship and modern design.

The wooden frame ensures stability, while the black-painted redwood panels deliver a clean, refined aesthetic that fits both classic California bungalows and contemporary homes.

The result is more than just a fence — it’s an architectural feature that enhances the property and reflects the homeowner’s attention to quality and detail.
