We use Grade #1 Western Cedar Premium Grade Whitewood from select mills in North America. We take pride in our superior materials and craftsmanship.

Steel Posts that Set Up Apart:

We use heavy gauge galvanized .95 steel posts because we do not cut corners. The posts we use are made for fences unlike the weaker imitations.

Post Covers Provide a Custom Finish:

We can cover your posts to give an all-wood finish if you prefer not to see the shiny steel posts. Just another example of how we strive to meet your needs.

Get What You Pay For:

We use true rough Cedar 2"x4" horizontal rails that match our Cedar pickets and absorb the stain, without substituting them for "Pine" or "Treated Rails" to cut costs.

Protection Your Fence Needs:

We attach a 2"x6" ACQ Treated Baseboard along the bottom of the fence which allows for the pickets to be raised off the ground to protect against rot and damage during lawn care.

Side-by-side
Provides privacy and security, but wood shrinks, leaving cracks. Some visibility through fence.

Board-on-board
Privacy fence. No see through cracks from wood shrinkage.
Pickets overlapped approximately 1-1/2" on each side of picket.
(Some sunlight may occur in gate area & at corners. These are difficult areas to achieve complete coverage).

Gates are double posts for extra strength.
Standard width is 42" (Larger widths available upon request).
8' fences will have a header over the gate for added strength and include 4 hinges.
6' fences will have 3 hinges on gates.
Gates larger than 42" and double gates can be installed with a metal frame at an additional cost. (Gates of these sizes installed with wood frames are not covered under warranty).

Trim
A 1" x 2" or 1" x 4" picket on the face of the fence to provide a finished top.

Ground board
A 2" x 6" treated board set directly on the ground.
Raises the pickets off the ground 3"-4" to help prevent rot and damage to the bottom of the pickets.

Top cap
A 2" x 6" or 2" x 8" cedar board on top of the fence. (2" x 8" on request & at an additional charge)
Adds strength to fence and gives a nice framed finished look to the top of the fence.
