Guys,
I have encountered an issue on my Horse Pasture fencing project... (pics are old pics of the first section of finished fence, about 380' or more).
I went to my local hardware/feed guy who has been my supplier for all of the fence I've built already, and he cannot get the poplar 5/4" x 6" x 16' boards I've been using.
They have some kind of pressure treatment he says, and they've been shipping them all to China and it will be weeks to months before he can get ANY.
They have held up well so far and given I will end up with well over 1000' of fence I was NOT planning to paint it. I need to build a 40' x 40' enlosure with runin shed/tack room, and the next 250' of fence.
He has Pine and Oak, but they are both more costly, AND they do not look the same (which will make SWMBO demand I paint them).
What to do?
I'm thinking of only doing the 40' x 40' and waiting till he can get boards.
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance.
David
