Frequently Asked Questions & Trade Specifications

How many pickets are needed for 200 feet of fence?

Using standard 1x6 pickets (actual width 5.5 inches) with 10% cutting and sorting waste, you will need 440 pickets for 200 linear feet with two 4-foot gates.

Can I carry 54 bags of concrete in a half-ton pickup?

No. 54 bags at 50 lbs equals 2,700 lbs, exceeding the 1,500-2,000 lb payload capacity of a standard F-150/1500. Split into two trips or order palletized delivery from your lumber supplier.
