To build a solid fence, you need a solid foundation. We begin our wood fences by setting galvanized steel posts into Maximizer Concrete. These particular materials are important because galvanized steel doesn't rust, and Maximizer Concrete is 40% stronger than regular concrete. Mulch and other material can rest against the bottom of your fence causing your pickets to rot or decay. We offer 2" x 6" treated pine rot boards to prolong the life of your fence by keeping your pickets free of dirt and debris.
