Fence Continued

March 28th, 2012 at 03:32 pm

So the fence we picked out was a special order. We would receive it three weeks after order. We initially went with it, but changed our minds to one that is in stock. It's a good fence too, but maybe not quite as attractive. Our contractor will pick it up today, and start on it either Thursday, or early next week. He has another job lined up that he may or may not start this week, depending on his client's needs.

The fence that we went with is cedar. We'll need to get on a schedule to stain it. I would guess every two or three years. We might not need it beyond three years, or we might need it for the next eight. We'll see.

The fence is $760. The contractor is charging $500 to construct. So that's on the outer limits of our budget. Too bad. But, as I've already discussed, it is a need. So far we've met my goals - attractive as is possible, and it doesn't appear that it will break the bank. Only time will tell if it's sturdy enough to withstand the strength and persistence of our boys.

    Have you contracted for post and picket style fence? Are the post ends treated? Will the posts be dropped into cement [depending on your specific land composition]? What type of post caps did you select?

    It it's cedar have you thought about leaving it natural? Yes it fades but it is much easier to maintain - by that I mean no maintenance needed at all.
