American Timber and Steel is proud to offer you our
agricultural board on board fencing, also known as
“Kentucky Board Fence”. These boards are cut 6” wide
and 1-1/8” thick, giving your fence the strength needed
to keep your animals secure. The standard 16’ lengths
are designed for 8’ post spacing. See pages 10-11 for
post information.
We offer our Fence Boards in three species:
Our Southern Yellow Pine
boards are treated with our
environmentally friendly
ACQ to a .25 lbs. of retention per cubic foot, for above
ground use. These Yellow Pine boards allow the chemical
to go deep into the wood, which will give the boards
the longest service life. These Southern Yellow Pine
boards are 30% stronger than Oak Boards and nearly
twice as strong as the Poplar Boards.
Our second option is Mixed
Oak. The Mixed Oak Fence
boards are not treated as
oak will not allow the preservative to penetrate the
wood. Most people believe that Oak is stronger than
Southern Yellow Pine, but in reality, while Oak is harder
to crush, Southern Yellow Pine has a much higher
breaking strength. The softer flexibility of the Southern
Yellow Pine allows it to flex before breaking.
Our third option is Yellow
Poplar. Yellow Poplar is a
soft hardwood. These
boards are also treated with ACQ, but they only accept
a small amount of treatment. These boards are the
lowest cost alternative.
Dog Eared Fence Boards
Our Dog Eared Fence
Boards are made from Red
Pine or Radiata Pine. These
boards are treated with ACQ to a chemical retention of .25
lbs. per cubic foot for above ground use. These popular and
economical boards are excellent for privacy fencing around
swimming pools, back yards or to simply hide garbage
containers.
Whichever you choose, we have the Fence Boards for you. Contact
