CALCO Fence

About the different types of wood

Southern Yellow Pine, pressure treated (Micro)
Finished on all four sides for dimensional stability, micro pine is dense & strong, resistant to dampness and insect infestation but subject to warping. Mother Nature decides which boards will warp and there is no way to predict problems in advance.  Micro can be reasonably expected to last for many years (25 to 40 is not uncommon).

Western Red Cedar (WRC)
This attractive lumber is less likely to warp than micro. It is lighter in weight, less dense and not likely to last as long as pressure treated. It is not smooth on all 4 sides, with one wide flat side rough cut to show a texture that many users prefer. Cedar is a good choice for wide gates that are heavy and likely to sag.

 

CALCO guarantees all wood products for one year. Wood is a natural product and no two pieces possess the same color or grain. Trees are not square so some boards have slightly curved edges (wain). Trees also have limbs so knots are expected. We buy only top-quality fence materials with a minimum number of visual imperfections.
