Should I paint or stain my fence?
We recommend applying a protective finish to the fence once it is installed. This helps to minimize the effects of weathering and to maximize the lifespan of your fence.
What kind of care and maintenance will my wood fence require?
We recommend applying paint or stain every two years or as needed.
How do I install a fence panel on a sloped landscape?
Yes! Depending on the degree of the slope, we can stair step it or follow the grade. We build our panels on site so a fence can be assembled and installed parallel to the slope of the landscape.
What type of nails/screws should I use when installing my fence?
Use hot-dip galvanized fasteners or other fasteners as required by building codes; otherwise, your treated wood will last longer than the unprotected fasteners you've used to put it together.
Should all posts be set in concrete?
We recommend that all posts be set in concrete in accordance with local conditions and standard building practices. Posts that are not set in concrete will eventually lean due to wind and weather.
At what depth should I bury fence posts?
A general rule of thumb is to place 1/3 of the length of the post in the ground. Use a diameter of 10"-12" for all postholes. We also suggest burying all gate posts, end posts, and corner posts 6" deeper than the other posts, especially in areas with high wind or extreme weather.
Are gates available?
Yes. We can offer any size for a gate
Do you have spaced picket panels with closer picket spacing?
