The Wooden Fence Looks great and if done right it will last a long time. We dig the holes with the post hole digger and set your support posts.   It's a good idea to treat the part of the post that will be in the ground with a wood preservative. We normally concrete the support posts. Approximately 1/3 of the post should end up buried in the ground in order to provide stability for cases without concrete. Posts should be spaced about 6' to 8' apart, and all the same amount of space apart. We also create wooden fence rails, which is a bit more complicated but still well worth it.

The Bamboo Fence -   Bamboo Fencing is Beautiful, Durable, And Cost-effective. If you're getting ready to install a new fence around your home, have you considered bamboo? Bamboo offers a number of unique properties that just can't be beat by any traditional fencing material. In this article, we present the top for reasons to choose natural bamboo fencing for your next project.

The All Aluminum Fence   Sections come in 6-foot lengths and are fastened together with either "invisible" stainless steel clips or screws (Ovation, Regency, and Industrial). If you need a shorter length, you may cut the section down with a hacksaw and notch the rail to fit into the post. Most sections are able to follow the slope of the ground by as much as 1 - 3 feet over a 6 foot span by simply pulling up on one side and down on the other. Double punched sections may be needed for some styles to slope farther. Please be aware that fences with loops can only rake about 1 - 2 feet, but double punched sections are not available, and those with rings can not rake at all and must be stepped.

Information for Pressure-Treated Lumber

Lumber's greatest enemy is biological attack, which would be destruction by termites, fungi, marine borers and bacteria. After more than half a century of scientific tests and practical experience with various treating chemicals, there are a variety of weapons that have been formulated to protect wood against insects, rot and decay. This is why it is a good idea to use pressure-treated lumber.

The single most important precaution is DO NOT BURN TREATED WOOD. Burning treated wood releases the chemical bond with wood cells, so dispose of scraps and sawdust with your landfill trash. Wear gloves when handling treated lumber. And always wear safety goggles and a dust mask when sawing or cutting treated lumber just as you would with untreated lumber.
