Wooden Fences- Overview
Posted by scottccf on July 20, 2008
One of the most popular choices in fencing is wooden fencing. It comes in many styles, shapes, sizes, is durable, and is economical. A wooden fence can be designed and built to accomplish almost any fencing need, and the choices in the look of the finished product are almost endless!
This is the first blog in a series about wooden fences. The series will cover everything from picking the proper wood, the proper pressure treating rating, different ways to set posts, materials used to make runners, and what runners are, different picket options, thicknesses, finishes, and colors, proper gate construction, post finales, different fence looks such as arched, scalloped, picture frame, fence maintenance, and more.
Wooden fencing has always been a favorite of mine to install. This comes simply because of the different looks and styles of wooden fencing. Its always exciting to start off with some 4×4 posts, 2×4’s, and a bunch of pickets and have a masterpiece unfold right before your eyes! I am looking foward to writing this series and hope you enjoy the articles I post!
Thanks for looking! Hope you check back soon!
