Can you build a fence with rough lumber instead of dimensional? I mean I know you *can*, but my question is does anyone do it? Would it look weird?
thanks boys,
thanks boys,
Most farms and a lot of rural properties use rough lumber for fences. After all, why bother to fancy up something to be used for practical purposes only?
Go for it.
Red Cedar Mixed Grain STK 4/4 $2.40
there's Red Cedar "flooring" 1" X 4" V joint STK $1.54 but you can't use flooring boards on a fence, can you?
I've got about 80' of wood fence to do, and it's gotta be at least 7' high.......the rest can be wire......personally I'd do wire everywhere but LOML says it's too ugly.....
Why use 4/4"? Most fences these days are built from either 3/4" or 5/8".
I see no reason why you couldn't use floor boards if that's what you choose to do.
If I may ask, why the 7' versus a the more standard 6'?
How do you guys like this fence? I love it, but LOML doesn't.....
