Depend on od the type of wood, however requiring proper sealing, treatment, and maintenance for protection
It depends on the type of wood; cedar and redwood last between 15 and 25 years or more, while pressure-treated pine (common, inexpensive) lasts between 10 and 20 years and needs regular sealing and staining; less durable woods like fir only last between 4 and 7 years.
Require a regular inspection, annual cleaning with mild detergent or pressure washer, prompt repairs, and reapplying stain or sealer every 2-3 years to protect against moisture and UV rays, keeping vegetation trimmed away to prevent rot
Regardless of the type of wood, it can look classic and traditional or modern and contemporary, depending on the colors or decorative elements. It can integrate with the landscape.
