Frequently Asked Questions & Trade Specifications

Why use 6ft post spacing instead of 8ft for a dog run?

6-foot post spacing provides 30% greater lateral stiffness. It prevents large dogs from flexing the pickets or forcing boards apart when jumping against the fence.

How fast does fast-setting concrete cure for fence posts?

Fast-setting concrete sets in 20-30 minutes without pre-mixing in a wheelbarrow (pour dry mix into hole around post, add water). You can begin hanging rails after 3-4 hours.
