There are two basic methods of fence construction: (1) prefabrication and (2) onsite building/stick building. There are similarities and differences between both methods. Both methods require that a post be installed every eight feet. However, each method will vary depending on the fence company, but the basics will hold true. We have added our method of construction to provide a contrast and to explain why we build to such a strict standard. Below are the basic definitions of each building methods, the availability, aesthetics, and anticipated longevity.
PREFABRICATED FENCING: As Low as $15.00 a foot installed
This building method consists of prefabricated eight foot sections of fence. They are pre-built using 2" x 3" x 8' rough cut runners, 1/4" x 4" x 6' rough cut dog-eared pickets. At the point of installation, metal or 4" x 4" x 8’ rough cut line post is installed every eight feet. The section of fence is placed on the post, and the runners.
OUR METHOD OF ONSITE/STICK BUILDING:
It all starts with the framework. Our method requires the fence is assemble piece by piece using 4" x 4" number or metal post 2 primed line posts, 2" x 4" x 16' number 1 2”x 6 x 16 bottom primed horizontal runner, and 1" x 6" x 6' rough cut pickets. To ensure all lumber remain secure, we use a series of special treated tipped, ACQ rated, ring-shank nails. A ring-shank nail has 50 reversed ovular rings which acts like threads on a screw when it punctures the wood.
The Runners: Unlike the standard method of onsite building, we use 2" x 4" x 16' number 2 primed lumber. We still install a post every eight feet, but we stagger them. Our method of staggering longer runners, coupled with the posts, creates a long lasting framework. In addition, due to the length of runners, the lumber is milled from the heart of large and mature trees. The pores are tight or small or often closed. As a result, warping and cupping are minimized, and crown direction does not matter.
At the point of installation, 4" x 4" x 10' number 2 primed or metal line posts are installed every eight feet. Then the (3) 16' horizontal runners are staggered and secured to the post using (2) 3" ring-shank nails per runner. Each picket is then individually secured with (6) 2" -ring shank nails.Only a small percent of companies build to our standard. WHY? The answer is simple: The material requirements cost more, the skills needed for installation are greater, and the profit margin is low. It is just a fair exchange between homeowners and companies which promotes long term growth.
Our method of building can last approximately 15+ years in both splendor and longevity. It just depends on how well the individual homeowner takes care of the fence.
