Houston's humid subtropical climate means untreated cedar will weather rapidly without staining and sealing.

Bellaire is its own incorporated city completely separate from the City of Houston — do not assume Houston's permitting rules apply here.

Some Bellaire streets have deed restrictions that limit front-yard fence heights or require specific materials.
