Understanding lumber grades

If you want to understand lumber grading like a pro, you need to learn to talk the talk. So here’s your cheat sheet—a little guide to the lingo.

Lumber is not all created equal. In fact, each individual board is inspected and graded by a certified agency. They inspect it for different factors, but two of the terms you’re going to hear most often when you’re discussing lumber are “knotty” and “clear”.

The clear grade is exactly what it sounds like—visually clean and free from defects. You will see only a few, if any, knots, streaks, or any other kind of visual imperfections in the board. Knotty grades allow more inclusions. That’s not necessarily a bad thing. Structurally speaking, knotty grades are still an excellent and durable choice—they just have a more casual, rustic appearance to them than clear lumber does. Obviously, clear is much more expensive lumber. Because of the price variance, most people choose knotty for fencing.

Within these varieties are grades such as “1 and better” or “2 and better.” “1” represents the very finest lumber. The “and better” part of the phrase means that when you buy a lot of “2 and better” boards, you’re guaranteed that nothing in the assortment you receive will be lower than a 2, and some if it is going to be better than a 2. Grade 1 is custom order only because of the price. Grade 2 has small knots and inclusions and is the most common material used. Grade 3 or “big box” stores lumber is builder grade with many knots and inclusions.

North Texas winds effect on your fence

The recent strong winds in the Dallas metro area have taken a large toll on privacy and other fences. Some areas were hit much harder than others, and we have been inundated with requests for repair and replacement estimates. If you own or are considering installing a privacy fence, here are a few wind related considerations:

Am I in a “high wind area”? – If you live in or near the front range, you are. This means winds can be expected in the sustained 40 MPH range, with gusts of up to 90 MPH. A 6′ high privacy fence with 4 x 4 posts spaced 8′ apart (the industry standard) is engineered to withstand SUSTAINED winds of approximately 50 MPH. This is when the fence is new. As the fence ages, the posts will begin to deteriorate, and a 15 year old fence may have posts that have lost half or more of their strength.

Does/will my fence be facing into the prevailing winds? – Generally, the prevailing winds are out of the West and North West. Your fence may be sheltered by a structure, such as your or your neighbors house.

Does my fence include long runs with little or no lateral support? – Corners and “T’s” in the fence help to strengthen and support adjoining fence lines.

Do I have any loose or broken existing posts? – When the wind kicks up, one bad post can cause the fence to be whipped by gusts, causing extra strain on adjoining posts. This can lead to further damage.

Should I plan for future strong winds? – Frisco Fence can help with new or existing fences. Oversized posts, posts spaced closer than the normal eight feet, and galvanized steel posts are all good options for strengthening your fence. If your fence is more than ten years old, you may want to consider adding new posts to the center of the existing panels to give added support.

We at Frisco Fence are highly qualified and knowledgeable to assist you in designing a fence or gate system to meet your needs and requirements that will withstand the North Texaas elements for many years to come. Estimates are always free.
