Post Information
Note: all post are set 6' apart for added fence strength unless otherwise requested by customer

Treated wood posts (set 24" deep in concrete) are an economical choice but may warp or twist causing gate dysfunction and entire fence will not be straight. Warping may accure within days or weeks of installation.

Cedar posts (set 24" deep in concrete) are a better choice. They are more stable than treated posts but have a tendency to rot at ground level after 12-15 years.

Galvanized steel posts are your best choice and will be set 30" to 36" deep depending on layout requirements. Post are 2 3/8" DIA., .095 Gal., set with 100 lbs. of concrete. Post will include metal caps

Spruce Fence Information

Spruce/Whitewood is an economy wood, irregularities, warping, and blemishes are common and should be expected. Texture and color also may vary. Life expectancy is 5 to 8 years under normal conditions. Some fences have been known to only last three years. Life span can be increase with sealing or staining.

Cedar Fence Information

Three grades of cedar are available; all weather and wear the same. Fairway Greens recommends only using Clear and #1 cedar. Grade #2 cedar is not recommeded due to the number of knot holes which causes the fences appearance to unsitely. These knot holes will fall out in time reducing the privacy in which the fence was intended. Cedar fences with steel posts should easily last 15 - 20 years plus under normal conditions. Cedar is naturally weather, rot, and insect resistant, but resistance is greatly reduced after the fence has dried. Fairway Greens recommends sealing or staining to assist and extend the natural resistance.

Additional Information

2" x 4" Heavy Duty Cedar or Treated Pine Rails- "Rails" are the horizontal boards that connect between the posts and serve as the framework of the fence. 2" x 4" rails are much larger and stronger than standard 2" x 3" rails. These rails also substantially extend the life and strength of your new fence. Rails will be staggered seam when post are six foot apart

2" x 6" Treated Baseboard- This pressure treated board stands on edge between the ground and the bottom of the fence. This increases the height of the fence, adds additional support, and keeps the bottom of the fence from rotting.

Cedar Top Cap - This is a cedar 2x6 or 2x8 board on top of the fence adding to the fences stubility and frames the top of the fence creating a finished custom look.

Board on Board - The ultimate in privacy. Installed for totall privacy with little or no creaks between pickets. 1 1/4" Over lap on each side of pickett to reduce sun cracks. 1"x4" and 1"x6" pickets available. Great for pools, jacuzzies, etc. where total privacy is wanted.

All 7' fences will contain three 2"x4" rails & six nails for each picket

Staining is available in a variety of colors and can be applied before construction of fence. Pre-dipping the fence provides a complete coverage of the wood. Staining of the fence after construction will not fully reach inbetween pickets.
