6 ft Cedar Dog Ear Privacy Fence on S Delaware Ct, Tulsa, OK

Fence System Details
Includes details of a 6-Foot Wood Fence installation in Tulsa. This fencing project built by Empire Fence Company may include other types of fences or fence materials as specified below.
Framing went up in three stages here: posts, rails, pickets. The 2 1/2 inch square steel posts were set in concrete and left alone until the footings took, then three Douglas fir 2×4 backrails spanned each bay, and 5/8 inch by 3.5 inch cedar pickets covered the frame with galvanized ring shank nails holding them. Wind is the main load on a fence this solid, since the pickets act like a sail. Steel posts and a third backrail spread that load rather than concentrating it at one weak point. For a Tulsa backyard catching south wind most of the year, that is the difference between straight and leaning.
