Wooden Fencing Guide
BURGE FENCE RECOMMENDATIONS
Posts
We recommend using red cedar posts with picture frame fences instead
of CCA. CCA treated posts are made from yellow pine. Any treated product
made from yellow pine will bow, twist and crack. CCA treated posts
will last longer in the ground than cedar posts. CCA posts are fine
to use with spaced, solid or board on board picket fences. Burge Fence
does not offer a warranty for CCA treated yellow pine posts for bowing,
twisting or cracking.
Rails
Red cedar 2x4s are the backing rails that Burge Fence recommends.
We avoid using treated rails of any kind because these products will
bow, twist and crack.
Pickets
The pickets are the most visible part of your fence, so we recommend
using red cedar for several reasons. Red cedar retains its shape well
throughout the life of the fence. It has a beautiful honey color and
a textured surface. We do not offer any treated pickets because they
bow, twist and crack. As soon as the sun comes in contact with the
wood, the honey color will immediately begin to change eventually
turning to a dark grey by the first year. For those who want the red
cedar wood to retain its original color, Burge Fence offers protection
and preservation products for the entire fence.
Nails
Screw shank aluminum nails are the best fastener in the wood fence
industry. They hold tight and will not rust. Galvanized nails and
staples will rust and weep due to the natural preservative found in
red cedar. Aluminum nails will not rust or weep, enhancing the beauty
of your fence. This is especially important if you plan to paint or
preserve your fence.
Gates
Gates are custom built to match each particular style of fence. Other
custom designs are also available at additional cost. Burge installs
heavy duty hinges and lockable latches. Burge offers automatic gate
closures at additional cost.
