6 ft Cedar Dog Ear Privacy Fence with Walk Gate on W Edgewater Ct S, 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.

We put up 266 feet of 6 foot cedar privacy fence on 2 1/2 inch square steel posts, with two 4 foot walk gates spaced for how the yard actually gets used. Steel posts are the part you stop thinking about. They do not rot at grade, they do not twist as they dry, and they hold a straight line through the freeze and thaw that heaves Oklahoma clay every winter. The cedar pickets hang on three Douglas fir backrails and take the weather, which is the job cedar is good at. On a Broken Arrow lot with this much fence line, the difference between wood posts and steel shows up around year eight, not year one.

Privacy Fence 6' Cedar Dog Ear on Steel Posts

Cedar pickets over steel posts is an industry standard build for good reason: you get the warmth of a wood fence with a post that outlasts the boards attached to it, and here it carries 266 feet.
