6 ft Cedar Cap and Trim Privacy Fence with Walk Gate on S 182nd E Ave in Broken Arrow, OK

Fence System Details

Includes details of a 6-Foot Wood Fence installation in Broken Arrow. This Residential fencing project built by Empire Fence Company may include other types of fences or fence materials as specified below.

Cap and trim is the upgrade you can see from the house. On this 183 foot run, a 2×6 cedar cap board covers the picket tops and 1×4 trim closes the joint below it, which turns a row of pickets into a finished wall and shields the end grain that normally drinks up rain. One 4 foot walk gate carries the same detail. Underneath, the build is plain and strong: cedar pickets, three Douglas fir back rails, and 2 1/2 inch square steel posts set in concrete. Broken Arrow yards catch full afternoon sun and hard spring storms, and the cap keeps the top edge of the fence from taking the worst of both.

Privacy Fence 6' Cedar Cap & Trim on Steel Posts

The cap and trim gives this fence a straight, deliberate top line across all 183 feet, and it protects the most exposed part of every picket while it does it.

Privacy Fence Walk Gate

We carried the same cap detail across the 4 foot walk gate so the top line does not break where the gate is, and the hinges account for that added weight.
