About Project

A solid wood fence is versatile and graded on the quality of the wood’s appearance. The highest grade wood is rated clear, followed by premium, select, standard and quality. Lumber has a lower upfront cost than wood alternatives, is easy to seal or stain, and retains finishes well.

Solid Wood Fence Types

• Wood Fence Panels
• Redwood – Wood Fence Pickets
• Southern Pine – Fencing

Fence Anatomy

There are various types of fences. Whichever one you choose, the main elements will remain the same.

• End Post Cap: Rounded cap used to protect end posts
• Brace Band: Used to hold the rail end in place
• Tension Band: Used to attach the chain link fence fabric to line posts and end posts
• Terminal Post: End, corner and gate posts
• Rail Cup: Holds the top rails and secures them to the terminal posts
• Tension Bar: Vertical bar that secures the chain link fabric to the tension bands and posts
• Tension Wire: Can be added to the bottom of a chain link fence to discourage animals from pushing underneath the fence
• Rail: Horizontal bar that spans the top of the fence
• Line Post Cap: Ringed cap that rests on top of the line posts and holds the rails
• Line Post Eye Top: Corrosion-resistant with a polished look, fits on top of line posts to help support rails
• Post: Vertical component, set in the ground, that provides the main support for the fence
• Panel: Pre-assembled unit that attaches to the posts and provides screening
• Concrete: Pourable mix hardens to provide strong support for the post
• Gravel: Small loose rock allows drainage
• Post Top: Decorative cap that adds a finished look to the fence
• Fastener: Galvanized or stainless steel nails, screws, and other hardware used to secure the fence components
• Pickets: Vertical panels that attach to the rails and provide screening
• Cross Rails: Horizontal elements that connect the posts and support the pickets
