Components & Specs

Cedar Creek stands behind the “No Nickel and Diming” approach. We believe that to build the best you must use the best products and materials. Cedar Creek uses the best materials while maintaining a fair price. It’s all about value.
Posts

• Only the strongest metal post will do…2-3/8” galvanized.095 gauge steel posts
• Posts set in 36” deep holes
• Posts spaced approximately 6’ apart
• Concrete is always pre-mixed before set in hole, no dry-mixing.
• WAPO brackets with 1.5” lag screws
• Wood posts available, but not recommended.

Pickets
  • All Cedar Creek fences are built using the best quality cedar available. “Clear” is also available by request and will involve an additional expense.**
  • Board on board cedar fences are built using full 6” wide pickets.  Side by side cedar fences are built using either full 4” or 6” wide pickets.
  • Unless product is unavailable, Cedar Creek uses one supplier for all lumber products. This ensures the most consistent quality possible.

**The term “clear” represent cedar wood that has no knots. “Clear is the best with the fewest, if any, flaws or knots.

Nails

• 1-7/8” ring shank galvanized nails. Galvanized nails will NEVER cause rust or black oxidation stains that run down the pickets.
• Six nails on 6’ fences are used to maximize strength of pickets and overall fence.
• Eight nails on 8’ fences are used to maximize strength of pickets and overall fence.

Rails
  • All cedar fences are built using true 2”x4” rough cut cedar rails. Rough cut cedar rails are larger than typical 2x4 wood product and will stain the same as the rest of the fence giving a consistent look due to its rough texture, which is also rough texture as the pickets.
Gates

• Gates are double posted for extra strength and stability.
• Standard width is 42”. Gates can be constructed larger by request.
• Double gates, drive way gates, and electric gates/fences also available.
• X-design construction…gives gate additional strength and stability. Gates over 42” constructed with a metal frame.
• 6’ fences have 3 hinges on gate.
• 8’ fences have 4 hinges on gate and header over gate for added strength on most fences

Trim

• All Cedar Creek fences include a trim option depending on the style of fence.
• Several decorative trim options to choose from

Top Cap

• Choose between a 2”x6” and 2”x8” board to add a nice finished look and also adds additional strength to fence.

Ground Board

• 2”x6” pressure treated board
• Pickets raised 3”-4” off the ground to help prevent rot and damage to bottom of pickets.
• Also provides an extra 3-4" to overall height.

Stain
  • 5 stain color choices to choose from
  • Cedar Creek Fences only post stains, in most cases.  Wood must be allowed to dry before applying stain.  If stain is applied to soon, the moisture in the wood will repel the oil-based stain and will not last as long as it should.
Permits & Utilities
  • In most cases city permits will be obtained by Cedar Creek Fences.  Ask for details.
  • Cedar Creek will contact DigTess to have underground gas, electric and cable lines marked in accordance with state laws and local laws.  In most cases the locate companies only locate the main lines on or around the property and the lines leading up to the meter for the property.  Private lines from the meter to the home are not located and are the responsibility of the property owner.
Life Expectancy

• Cedar fences with metal posts can very easily last 25+ years with proper maintenance. Cedar Creek Fences provides a 10-year warranty to back it up. (On most designs)
