The Materials

Materials. Honestly Spec'd.

We don't hide behind “contractor grade.” Here is every material we put in your ground, on your posts, and across your face frame — what it is, where it's from, and why we trust it.

01 · Wood

Western Red Cedar

The cedar we build with is sourced from select Pacific mills, kiln-dried, and weather-graded for the Oklahoma swing — 100°F summers and ice-storm winters in the same year.

Grade
#1 cedar (Premium) · #1/BTR clear (Estate)
Profile
Square-top, dog-ear, or board-on-board
Dimensions
5/8" × 6" pickets · 2×4 cedar rails · 4×4 cedar posts
Treatment
Kiln-dried, no chemical treatment — cedar's natural oils repel rot and insects

Cedar grays gracefully — that's the wood doing its job, not failing. A FencePros-applied stain (optional add-on) slows the graying and pulls a 2-year stain warranty along with it.

02 · Wood

KDAT Premium Pine

Most contractors won't build with pine in Oklahoma because untreated pine warps and cracks in the heat. We use only KDAT — Kiln-Dried After Treatment — hand-selected, and back it with a 12-month no-warp guarantee.

Grade
Hand-selected #2 KDAT southern yellow pine
Treatment
Pressure-treated then kiln-dried (KDAT) for dimensional stability
Dimensions
5/8" × 6" pickets · 2×4 PT rails · 4×4 PT posts
Warranty
12-month no-warp · 2-year workmanship

If a picket on our pine line warps, twists, or cracks beyond normal tolerance within twelve months, we replace it. This warranty applies only to our designated Budget Pine line — not to pine from any other source.

03 · Metal

Galvanized + Vinyl-Coated Chain Link

Chain link is a utility material — we treat it like one. Galvanized for galv-on-galv corrosion resistance, vinyl-coated where the look matters more than the wallet.

Galvanized
11.5 ga residential mesh, galvanized line posts, top rail
Vinyl-coated
9 ga PVC-coated mesh in black, top + bottom tension wire
Posts
1-5/8" galvanized line posts · 2-3/8" terminal posts
Fabric
Diamond mesh, 2" stretched
04 · Posts

Concrete-Set Cedar · PostMaster+ Steel

Posts are the foundation. In Tulsa clay, that's where most fence failures start. We give you two options — both concrete-set, both warranted, both built to last.

Standard
4×4 cedar (or KDAT pine), 8' length, concrete-set
Footing depth
30 inches · 8" diameter · 3,000-psi concrete
Spacing
8 ft on center (wood families) · 10 ft (chain link)
Upgrade
PostMaster+ galvanized + powder-coated steel · 15-year structural warranty · rated to 130 mph wind

The PostMaster+ upgrade is a hidden steel post that drives inside the wood post profile — you get the cedar look on the outside, the steel structure on the inside. Most premium customers choose it.

05 · Footings

3,000-PSI Concrete

Every post bedded in concrete to 30 inches. Plumb and square, checked twice with a 4-foot level. The line doesn't move because the posts don't move.

Mix
Quikrete or equivalent 3,000-psi fast-set
Volume per post
1.5 × 60 lb bags average · adjusted for soil
Cure window
24-48 hr before panels go on the rails
Drainage
Crowned tops, gravel base in heavy-clay yards
06 · Fasteners

Ring-Shank Picket Nails · Deck Screws

We don't build fences with framing nails. Ring-shanks hold pickets through wood movement. Deck screws hold rails through wind load. Both are exterior-grade.

Picket nails
2½" hot-dipped galvanized ring-shank, stainless on premium
Rail screws
3" exterior-grade deck screws
Hidden fastener clips
Available on Horizontal Premium for clean face
Hardware
Stainless gate hinges, drop rods, latches — 1-year defect warranty
07 · Stain & Seal

Premium Warranty Stain

If you want a stained fence, we apply the only stain we'll warranty — UV-protected, water-shedding, oil-based. Doubles the cosmetic life of cedar.

Type
Penetrating oil-based, semi-transparent
Coverage
Both faces, all visible surfaces
Warranty
2-year against premature peeling (FencePros-applied only)
Add-on price
+$8/LF · selectable on the configure step
