Our Steel Board fence is a superior alternative to black fencing made of wood for the following reasons: It is a traditional looking post and black split rail fence made of galvanized steel that is powder coated with a textured black finish. Over time, the impact of weather and horses eventually takes its toll and the fence must be replaced.Ĭonsider our Steel Board Fence. Broken or warped rails must be replaced often to keep the fence looking nice and the horse safely inside the fence boundaries. Regular painting and coating is required to keep the fence from falling into disrepair. Black fencing is coated with creosote to discourage the horse from chewing on it. They can chew a wood fence to the point where the rails and posts fall apart and allow for easy escape. When wood breaks, it splinters and the splinters can cause serious injury to the horse. The posts will rot from the moisture in the ground and soon begin to heave from the freezing and thawing of the ground. The rails will twist and warp and eventually crack. Weather can quickly destroy a wooden fence, especially an untreated wood fence. Often, a double row of fencing is used in fencing sections along roadways to prevent the horse from running into the road. If the horse pushes hard enough or runs into the fence, the rails will break and allow for easy escape.
Black wood fences are typically not strong enough to contain horses.
There are other disadvantages to wood black fencing that should be considered as well, including: When applied, the odor can be pungent and linger for weeks.

The posts are typically round wood posts and the rails are board planks nailed to the posts. Our smaller square bundles stack more neatly and efficiently.When you think of black fencing, the first thing that comes to mind is the beautiful, rolling hills lined with black wood fences surrounding the horse farms in the Bluegrass Country of Kentucky.Ĭonsidered the traditional horse fence, black fences are commonly referred to as Kentucky board fences, which are post and board fences. Then we use cloth banding to make them safer and easier to open without sharp steel strapping. The smaller square bundles have additional benefits like being able to use smaller, standard forklifts and they stack more neatly and efficiently. Other manufacturers have tried to copy the look of our posts but the strength, treatment and quality of our posts remain unsurpassed.
This drying process assures that the posts will be treated correctly to the American Wood Protection Association Standards with any of our most common preservatives CCA, ACQ, MCA or Creosote. Our posts are then bundled in smaller, square packs with sticks between every row not just to make the pack square but more importantly to allow every post in the bundle to dry more evenly. They are straighter, cleaner and have less bark or unsightly blemishes and by using true Southern Yellow Pine Saplings, they are the strongest posts available
