Pressure-treated pine fences that give strong posts, rails and pickets at a practical cost for privacy, picket and rail styles across Middle Tennessee.
Pressure-treated pine is the most common fence lumber in Middle Tennessee for good reason. The wood is treated with preservatives that help it resist rot and insects, it is widely available and it handles privacy, picket and rail designs well. Owners in Nashville choose treated pine when they want a sturdy, practical fence and plan to stain it for a long-lasting finish.
We begin with a Free Estimate and talk through ground-contact ratings, board dimensions and how treated lumber behaves as it dries. Posts are set in concrete or gravel, rails are fastened with exterior-rated hardware and pickets are spaced to allow for shrinkage. Because treated lumber often arrives wet, we explain the best timing for stain or sealer, and we show you the difference between boards for above ground and posts rated for soil contact. Treated pine rewards patience. Letting the boards dry, using fasteners made for treated lumber and finishing the fence at the right time makes the difference between a fence that cups, splits and fades and one that stays flat and handsome. We walk you through a simple care plan so the fence you buy for practical reasons ends up looking better than you expected.
Posts set in soil need a lumber rating for ground contact, and we match the lumber to where it will be installed.
Treated boards often arrive damp and shrink as they dry, so we space and fasten them with that movement in mind.
Exterior-rated screws and nails are matched to the treatment chemistry so fasteners are not eaten away.
We explain how long to let the fence dry before staining or sealing for the best, most even absorption.
