6 ft Cedar Cap and Trim Privacy Fence on N 139th E Ave, Owasso, OK

Fence System Details

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

A cap and trim finish does more than dress the top of a fence. The 2×6 cedar cap board ties every picket together along the top edge and keeps water off end grain, while the 1×4 cedar trim covers the joint and stiffens the whole run. Underneath, 5/8 inch by 3.5 inch cedar pickets sit on three Douglas Fir 2×4 back rails with galvanized ring shank nails, and 2 1/2 inch square steel posts carry it all, set in concrete. Both runs on this property are built the same way, so the finished edge continues around instead of stopping. On an Owasso property, it reads as architecture rather than as a barrier.
