Why Choosing the Right Fencing Supply Matters
When it comes to building a fence that lasts, the quality of your fencing supply makes all the difference. The right fencing materials impact durability, appearance, maintenance needs, and long-term value. Whether you are a contractor sourcing materials for multiple projects or a property owner investing in a new fence, choosing a trusted fencing supply partner ensures your finished product stands up to weather, time, and everyday use.
At Green Forest, fencing supply is not just a product line — it is the foundation of what we do. For more than 60 years, we have been turning Northern Minnesota’s abundant white cedar into high-quality fencing materials trusted by contractors, distributors, and retail customers across the country.
Northern White Cedar: The Foundation of the Best Fencing
Located near the Canadian border of Minnesota, we are surrounded by forests rich in aromatic northern white cedar. This unique environment allows us to produce some of the best fencing materials available.
Northern white cedar is naturally:
• Rot resistant
• Bug resistant
• Disease resistant
It also carries a subtle, natural cedar scent that reflects its origin in the northern woods. These qualities make white cedar an ideal choice for long-lasting fencing in a wide range of climates.
As a fencing supply company, we focus on providing materials that perform naturally, without relying on chemical treatments to achieve durability.
A Family-Owned Mill With Over 60 Years of Experience
Since 1960, our family-owned and operated mill has been hand processing cedar products with care and precision. Experience matters in fencing supply, and decades of hands-on knowledge allow us to maintain consistent quality across every product we produce.
Every fence picket, fence post, and cedar board is milled with attention to detail. This craftsmanship ensures uniform sizing, clean finishes, and dependable performance for both residential and commercial fencing projects.
Our longevity is not just a milestone — it is a promise that we will continue supplying high-quality fencing materials for generations to come.
Complete Fencing Supply Products We Offer
A dependable fencing supply partner should offer more than just one component. We produce a full range of cedar fencing materials to support complete fence systems.
Cedar Fence Pickets and Boards
Our cedar fence pickets are milled from responsibly harvested northern white cedar and are well-suited for privacy fences, decorative fencing, and rural property applications. The natural resistance of cedar helps these pickets maintain strength and appearance over time.
Cedar Fence Posts
Fence posts are the backbone of any fence system. Our cedar fence posts provide structural stability while maintaining the same natural resistance to rot and insects that cedar is known for. This makes them an excellent choice for long-term installations.
Additional Cedar Products
In addition to fencing materials, we also produce cedar lumber and mulch, allowing customers to source multiple project materials from one reliable supplier.
Sustainability Built Into Our Fencing Supply Process
Sustainability is not a trend for us — it has always been part of how we operate. As a fencing supply company located at the southern edge of the North American forest, we take responsibility for how we use natural resources.
Only the lower portion of each cedar tree is used for lumber and fencing products. While some mills discard or burn the remaining materials, we make sure nothing goes to waste.
We maximize every tree by:
• Using sawdust to help heat our facility
• Creating mulch and landscaping products from branches and bark
• Supplying tree tops to log furniture manufacturers
This approach allows us to reduce waste while providing additional products that support landscaping and outdoor projects.
Why Contractors and Customers Choose Our Fencing Materials
When customers look for the best fencing, they want materials they can trust. Our fencing supply stands out because it combines quality, consistency, and responsible practices.
Contractors appreciate:
• Reliable material availability
• Consistent milling standards
• Cedar that performs without chemical treatment
Property owners value:
• Long-lasting fencing materials
• Natural beauty and aroma
• Reduced maintenance compared to treated lumber
By focusing on quality at every step, we help ensure finished fences meet both functional and aesthetic goals.
Serving Contractors, Distributors, and Retail Customers
Our fencing supply supports a wide range of customers. We work directly with contractors managing large-scale installations, distributors supplying regional markets, and retail customers building or replacing fences on their own properties.
This flexibility allows us to meet different project needs while maintaining the same commitment to quality across every order.
The Long-Term Value of High-Quality Fencing Supply
Choosing quality fencing materials is an investment. Well-made cedar fencing holds up against weather, resists decay, and maintains its appearance longer than many alternative materials.
By starting with the right fencing supply, property owners reduce repair costs, extend replacement timelines, and improve overall property value.
Our goal is to provide fencing materials that support strong, dependable fence systems year after year.
