AW Graham Lumber is Kentucky's top choice for the best
fencing products for all your project needs. We offer a wide variety of fencing materials like
fence boards, treated fence posts with tapered wedge, sharpened, tapered, round, and cylindrical profiles, and more. A fence is an excellent way to define your property, offer security, and provide privacy. We have everything you need for both permanent and temporary fences, with materials to fit every taste and prices to meet every budget.
Treated fence vs. untreated? The main difference is that
pressure-treated fence posts are far more resistant to the elements than untreated wood. The addition of chemical preservatives in treated wood helps it retain its structural integrity in harsh outdoor elements that would cause normal wood to quickly rot and decay.
Choosing the Right Fencing Material:
The best material for your project depends on your goals for security, appearance, and maintenance.
- Pressure-Treated Wood: This is the most common and cost-effective choice for durability. It resists insects and moisture, making it ideal for posts that are set directly into the ground.
- Untreated Cedar/Natural Wood: Prized for its natural beauty and pleasant aroma. While initially appealing, it requires sealing and regular maintenance to prevent weathering, warping, and insect damage.
- Wire Fencing: Excellent for large property boundaries, livestock enclosures, or temporary construction barriers. It is the most economical option for covering long distances.
- Metal/Vinyl: Although we primarily specialize in lumber, metal and vinyl options are known for minimal maintenance and excellent longevity, making them a popular long-term choice.
Popular Fence Types and Their Uses:
- Privacy Fence: Typically uses closely spaced boards (like dog-eared or board-on-board) to block visibility, offering maximum seclusion for backyards and pools.
- Picket Fence: A traditional, decorative option, perfect for front yard curb appeal and defining property lines without blocking views.
- Split Rail/Post and Rail: Simple and rustic, often used for decorative boundaries on large properties and farms.
Fence Maintenance Tips - Proper maintenance ensures your fence lasts for years:
- Cleaning: Wash your fence annually with a mild detergent or dedicated wood cleaner to prevent mildew and dirt buildup.
- Sealing/Staining: Apply a quality sealant or stain every 2-3 years to block UV rays and moisture, which are the main causes of wood deterioration and graying.
- Post Inspection: Regularly check the base of your fence posts for signs of rot, especially at the ground line. Replace any post showing significant decay immediately to maintain the fence's stability.
