Fencing: What You Need to Know

Fencing products, also referred to as fence components or outdoor barriers, are essential for defining property lines, adding privacy, and enhancing curb appeal. This category includes pickets, posts, and panels available in widths ranging from 3-1/2 inches to over 7 inches and heights between 3-1/2 feet and 9 feet. Whether you're installing a residential fence or replacing individual sections, this collection includes all major types and materials in a range of thicknesses built for lasting outdoor use.

Type:

• Panel: Fence panels are large, pre-assembled sections used to cover long spans quickly. Ideal for privacy fencing or perimeter boundaries, panels offer uniform height and design consistency.
• Picket: Individual vertical boards used to build traditional or decorative fences. Available in a variety of shapes including dog-ear, flat top, and French Gothic, they allow full customization of spacing, layout, and style.
• Post: Serve as the structural anchor for both panels and pickets. This collection includes square-profile posts in various heights and widths, including heavy-duty vinyl options for long-term durability.

Material:

• Cedar: Naturally resistant to rot and insects, cedar offers a clean finish and weathers attractively over time. It’s commonly used for decorative and privacy fencing.
• Fir: A cost-effective softwood used primarily for stained or painted fences. Fir has a straight grain and consistent texture, making it easy to work with.
• Redwood: Known for its rich color and natural weather resistance, redwood is a premium fencing material. It’s available in multiple profiles and finishes for both decorative and functional use.
• Vinyl: Low-maintenance and moisture-resistant, vinyl fencing delivers long-lasting performance without the need for painting or sealing. It’s ideal for modern or high-traffic installations.

Thickness:

• Standard (19/32 in – 3/4 in): These mid-range boards are used in most residential fencing. They offer a balance of strength and flexibility for pickets and panels.
• Heavy-Duty (4 in – 5 in): Used mainly for posts and structural supports, these thicker profiles provide increased stability for tall or wide fence sections.
