Wood Fences
Pressure-Treated Pine Fence
Southern yellow pine treated for ground contact. The standard Texas fence, and the value choice when the posts go in right.
Who buys this fence, and why
You want the standard Texas fence at the standard Texas number. Southern yellow pine, treated for ground contact, is what most of the fences on your street already are. It is the value choice, and it holds up well when the crew sets the posts properly and the wood dries before anyone stains it. Rental property owners and builders buy it for exactly that reason. It is also the sensible choice on a long fence, where the saving against cedar adds up across every picket.
What your money buys
The lumber carries a ground contact treatment, which is the grade that belongs in soil. You get the same builds as cedar: privacy, board-on-board, shadowbox or picket. The boards arrive damp from treatment and dry out on the fence, which is normal and is why the finish plan matters more here than with cedar. Treated posts belong in the ground on any wood fence, including a cedar one, and they are standard here.
What to settle before the crew arrives
Let the wood dry before you stain it, usually a few months. Decide the height and the finished face now and plan the stain for later. Tell us where the gates go so the heavy posts land in the right places. Point out any low spot that holds water while we are measuring. Ask what treatment grade is in the quote, and hold the next quote you get to the same question.
What it asks of you once it is up
Treated pine grows checks and small cracks as it dries. That is the wood behaving, not the fence failing. Stain every two to three years once it has dried out, and wash it once a year. Keep sprinklers off the boards and keep soil and mulch pulled back from the bottom of the pickets. Keep the sprinklers off it and pine does most of what cedar does for a good deal less up front.
Why the Johnson build is the one to buy
Nobody buys more fence pickets than Johnson, so nobody in Texas sells you a wood fence for less. A salesperson measures the fence line in your yard, so the number is yours and not a guess at it, and it covers the tear-out and the haul-off. A hundred crews put it up on the date we gave you, most of them in a day. One year of craftsmanship on the work, and not one callback on twenty thousand jobs last year.
