Turning Your Backyard Into a Showpiece
Your backyard should feel like a sanctuary — private, stylish, and protected. But in Port St. Lucie’s unpredictable coastal climate, not just any fence will do. You need something that stands up to heavy rain, strong winds, and bright Florida sun — without sacrificing aesthetics.
That’s where basket weave fences come in.
At SW Fences Port St. Lucie, we specialize in custom fence design and installation that merges craftsmanship with resilience. Among our many styles — vinyl, aluminum, wood, and chain link — the basket weave fence remains a favorite for homeowners who want both function and flair.
1. What Makes Basket Weave Fencing Special?
Basket weave fencing gets its name from the way boards are woven in and out of vertical posts, creating a dynamic, patterned look that resembles a woven basket.
Unlike traditional privacy fences with flat panels, basket weave designs offer dimension, airflow, and shadow depth — adding both texture and movement to your yard.
Key Benefits:
- ✅ Excellent privacy and airflow
- ✅ Distinctive 3D woven design
- ✅ Durable construction that withstands Port St. Lucie’s weather
- ✅ Works with wood, vinyl, or composite materials
- ✅ Blends with modern or classic home exteriors
For local homeowners, this fence isn’t just functional — it’s a statement piece that instantly elevates your curb appeal.
2. Why Homeowners in Port St. Lucie Love Basket Weave Fences
The Treasure Coast lifestyle blends tropical weather with coastal charm. That means your fencing must resist salt air, humidity, and storm winds while still looking great.
Here’s why basket weave fences are trending among local homeowners:
- 🌴 Coastal Aesthetic: The woven pattern fits perfectly in seaside landscapes.
- 💨 Wind Resistance: The flexible design helps reduce wind pressure during storms.
- 🏡 Elegant Privacy: Keeps your yard secluded while maintaining an airy feel.
- 🧱 Durability: Properly treated wood or vinyl versions last for years.
- 💧 Low Maintenance Options: Especially with vinyl and composite materials.
When installed by SW Fences Port St. Lucie, you get a fence engineered for Florida’s environment — beautiful, strong, and built to last.
3. Materials That Define Strength and Style
Wood Basket Weave Fences
Wood offers natural warmth and timeless appeal. Popular options include:
- Cedar: Naturally resistant to insects and rot.
- Pressure-Treated Pine: Affordable and reliable for large properties.
- Redwood: Premium finish with exceptional longevity.
Each wooden fence can be stained, painted, or left natural — and our experts ensure every panel is sealed against moisture and UV damage.
Vinyl Basket Weave Fences
Vinyl fences are maintenance-free and perfect for Port St. Lucie’s climate.
They won’t fade, rot, or warp — even after years of sun exposure.
Vinyl benefits include:
- Long-lasting color retention.
- Mold and mildew resistance.
- Easy to clean with just soap and water.
Composite Materials
For eco-conscious homeowners, composite materials combine recycled plastics and wood fibers, giving the appearance of real wood with none of the upkeep.
Pro Tip: Ask about SW Fences’ hurricane-rated vinyl options — engineered to stand strong during Florida’s storm season.

6. Maintenance Tips for Longevity
Proper upkeep extends your fence’s lifespan and keeps it looking brand new.
For Wood Fences:
- Reseal every 1–2 years.

- Inspect after major storms for loose boards or fasteners.
For Vinyl or Composite Fences:
- Rinse with a hose quarterly.

- Avoid pressure washing too close to the panels.
With minimal care, your basket weave fence can last decades while retaining its original beauty.

- Cedar and pine can be sourced from renewable forests.
- Vinyl and composite fences are recyclable and long-lasting.
Durable fencing reduces replacement frequency, saving money and resources over time — an ideal choice for eco-conscious Florida homeowners.
