I understand supposetly cedar is best. But that is pressure-treated pine? How can the tree in front. If the stain is it?

Well, first of all, I'm jealous! I wanted to fence in the yard for two years, but other projects keep on the road! LOL
Your question!
Spruce takes an average of 8 to 10 years. Could perhaps a little more of it if you stain and seal of the transaction, however.
I found this:
(Q) 5. I'm considering a wood fence, what is the difference between spruce and cedar?
(A) There are many differences between spruce and cedar trees. Life expectancy is a big difference. On average, a spruce fence is 8 to 10 years. However, Cedar fencing is an average of 18 to 23 years. In addition, cosmetics play a differentiating role in the pines and cedars. The spruce is nearly white when it comes to the mills, and tends to have more nodes. Cedar has a much darker tone and cedar, even though nodes, the less likely but larger in nature. Cedar is also known to expel fleas and other insects. Ask one of our design consultants for further information.
Hope this helps! Enjoy your fence!
