Holding firm as the most popular fence choice, wood fences offer natural beauty, enhance property value, increase security, provide containment, protect landscape, and much more. Our wood fences come in many styles such as: private, picket, paddock, crossbuck estate, or custom-built.
We offer a variety of lumber materials to choose from. Our preferred board of choice for most privacy, picket, and estate fencing is the Western Red Cedar due to its durability. Cedar is naturally resistant to decay and insect damage and seldom warps, shrinks, twists, or swells in outside weather conditions. It naturally turns a nice silvery gray and is extremely accepting of paint and stains to increase the fence’s life.
We also offer pressure-treated pine that is chemically treated with MCA (Micronized Copper Azole). This treatment is today’s most widely used method to substantially increase the wood’s life both above and below ground level. Above-ground retention for MCA is .06, and ground contact is .15. All of our wood posts are pressure treated with the exception of our split rail fencing, in which we used the traditional and much preferred dense locust post.
Additionally, we offer #1 spruce lumber for stockade fences, strong oak lumber for horse paddock fencing, and hemlock rails with black locust posts for split rail fencing.
As you narrow down your fence selection, keep in mind the many different fence styles and cut options available. Your Capital Fence representative can help you understand your options and choose the best fit based on your project goals.
Privacy fences serve multiple purposes, including but not limited to:
They can be built to meet swimming pool fence regulations, providing quality family time without disturbances. Do you have those neighbors that are not so neighborly? A privacy fence is an excellent choice!
Privacy fencing comes in a wide variety of materials, accents, and variations to choose from. Explore our options and allow our Capital Fence professionals to narrow down a style that perfectly suits your needs and taste.
Spaced picket fencing is an excellent fence style that provides containment yet still appeals to the eye. This semi-private option creates a perimeter of privacy without feeling closed in. Spaced picket is the #1 choice for front yard fencing, offering that classic all-American feel.
Capital Fence’s preferred board material of choice for the spaced picket fence is Western Red Cedar due to its stability and resistance to warping and twisting. We offer a variety of picket cuts, with the Mt. Vernon Dip and Special Cut being the most popular.
Split rail fencing provides a rustic look while offering containment with a feeling of openness. Split rail fencing comes in three different heights;
Two Rail for 3′ High
Three Rail for 4′ High
Four Rail for 5′ High
Capital Fence differentiates from our competitors as we use only the finest material for our split rail fence. While most of our competitors use pressure-treated soft pine, we at Capital Fence use the traditional, superior combination of locust posts with hemlock rails. If you prefer the added containment for kids and pets or added exclusion of deer and animals, we can add an almost invisible black coated vinyl over galvanized wire mesh fencing. Mesh fencing sizes are typically 2×4” openings, though we also offer 1×2” to comply with pool code regulations. Ask your Capital Fence representative for further pool code requirements.
Paddock and Estate style fencing provide a feeling of openness with a nice contemporary look achieved by using horizontal flat boards. Posts are spaced 8 feet apart with no support in between, so a strong warp-and-twist-resistant wood like Western Red Cedar is preferred to the standard pressure-treated pine. Wire mesh fencing can be attached for containment and is available with a black vinyl coating or traditional galvanized mesh.
A paddock-style fence is typically a three or four-board design with all boards running horizontally:
3-Board Paddock Fence
4-Board Paddock Fence
while the Crossbuck Estate style fence has two boards crisscrossed between horizontal boards. Most Estate style fences are five or six-board designs and use a combination of 1x6x8 and 1x4x8 boards.
5-Board Crossbuck Estate
6-Board Crossbuck Estate
