1. The posts and rails are Coastal Douglas Fir.
2. Posts and Rails are joined by the Wilson tenon joint system.
3. Posts and Rails are heavy duty treated per AWPA specifications.
Coastal Douglas Fir is strong - about 30% stronger than pine. What that means is that our
posts and rails will take a lot of abuse! These are not peeler cores or doweled wood.
These were small trees that were selected for minimal taper and straightness. They were
processed on a machine peeler to just remove the bark and to leave as much sapwood as
possible.
Country Log Fence utilizes a system that has been proven to withstand time. The Wilson
tenon joint connection is a combination of the rail being tenoned on the end so it fits
into a round hole in the post. The advantage of this system is that it allows the rails to
move. Another words it lets the rail contract and expand through the different
seasons and does not rely on some sort of fastener to hold the rail to the post. You see,
thats where most problems start in a fence. As wood contracts and expands, it
continually works on the connection until it loosens and becomes weak. This system was
originally developed to take advantage of using round rails which are a lot stronger than
sawn wood.
We have several different treatments available. We will focus on the three most popular:
ACZA, Penta, and Creosote. All three treatments are excellent and have a proven track
record. They all will last a very long time. All posts and rails are treated to AWPA
standard C5. They are sampled and go through a stringent testing procedure to assure you
of the highest quality and the longest lasting wood fence on the West Coast!
Our Country Log Fencing will look good for many years--and it is maintenance free! It will
not crack, stain, or fall apart. Many fences on the market look good for 2 or 3 years; if
youre fortunate, maybe 5 to 10 years. Our fence, when installed correctly, will last
40+ years.
We offer real wood, ranch style fencing that is strong, durable, and great looking. Our
Premium Heavy Duty Fence utilizes big 5-6 posts and fat 3-4 rails.
Our Elite Jumbo Size Fence is enormous, utilizing huge 6-7 posts and
husky 4-5 rails. We know this is a fantastic decorative looking fence. Dont be
fooled, this solid fence is very much at home on a working ranch also.
