The diameter for post holes is approximately two times the width of the post.

Care and Maintenance

What kind of maintenance is involved with cedar fencing?

Some of our customers prefer a rustic look for cedar and allow the fence to gray or “silver out” by not applying stains, paint, or sealants.Other customers want to keep their fence looking new or need a certain color to compliment their landscape and home.To maximize the time between applications we recommend purchasing a high quality stain.

Does my Trex Fence require Maintenance?

Trex does not require painting or staining for protection. Trex recommends a simple periodic cleaning to maintain the attractive nature of the fence.
