Why Wood Fences Deteriorate!

       Wood doesn't last as long as it used to. Today's wood comes from younger growth stock than it did just fifty years ago. Environmental and Commercial pressures have driven the market to use younger/newer growth stock. Older growth wood has a higher natural built-in resistance to the climatic elements and wood damaging insects, this is generally called tannin resin. Younger growth has lower amounts of this natural protectant. Therefore to get as much life out of your 6' Wood Fence as possible, over time - it must have additional protection. Today's Lumber industry is more environmentally friendly, or "Greener" than ever before. Every major wooded area being timbered in the United States is now required by federal law to be replanted. However it is imperative for each individual to do their part to take care of our natural resources.

The Water Method, for removing Fence Posts!

It may be new to you, but we've been doing it for a long, long time.

Big Red Post Puller!

        A couple of times a year we show up with a crew of 3 or 4 guys to remove a Wood Fence. We break out the Milwaukee sawsalls, the flat bars & pry bars, the 2 & 3 lb demo hammers, and the sledge hammers. All the basic tools needed to remove the fence panels. We pry, hammer, and cut them away from the posts they are attached to, and into pieces small enough to be carried by 2 people. Who then pick them up and carry them to one of our flat bed trailers, stacking them for transport to the landfill. It is Federal law that all Pressure Treated lumber be disposed of at a landfill. You can burn or dispose of any other type of wood any way you want to.

Squaring up your Fence!

          The easiest way to ensure you have a relatively square fence is using the 3-4-5 Geometrical method. I say relatively square because squareness is a matter of degree. What we might call a pretty square job in a back yard fence, a NASA engineer might not recognize as square at all. However utilizing the 3-4-5 method will get us a pretty close to a 90 degree square corner job that will meet the normal fence building standards.
