Details

Details

The posts for the WV Lap Rail Style of fence are cut from Locust. Posts are available in two sizes, 2-Rail and 3-Rail. Posts come pre-routed for the rails, in three different configurations - Line, End, and Corner.

Advantages - WV lap rail fence is one of the most cost effective styles for defining boundaries, decorating property, and fencing in livestock and horses. Lap rail fencing is also one of, if not the easiest style of fence to install making it an ideal project for the do-it-yourselfer. Posts are typically set directly in the ground approx. 24-30" deep without any concrete. A tamping bar is used to compact the dirt around the post while backfilling.

Disadvantages - It is typical to have to retamp posts plumb after the ground settles around post so that the fence remains upright. This is especially true if the fence is installed in a wet area or it was wet when the fence was originally installed. Pouring gravel around the posts instead of backfilling with dirt will help prevent posts from leaning under the heavy weight of the rails. Fence requires a preservative for the longest-lasting performance, however most installations are never treated.


ORDERING NOTES:

West Virginia Lap Rail Fence is style that is component driven. Most wood fence styles utilize fence panels, but this rustic style is made up of individual posts and rail. This fence is readily available in 2-Rail and 3-Rail styles.

A complete section of 2-Rail fence would include (2) Posts, and (2) Rails. A 3-Rail section would include (2) Posts and (3) Rails.

Customer Photo and Comments of West Virginia Lap Rail Installation

Customer Comment:

I just took delivery on my order and I wanted to tell you how pleased I am in the quality of the lumber. I really appreciate Hoover Fence working with me on this relatively small order. I also want to thank the driver (I didn't get his name) who took a lot of time to skillfully back his flatbed into my narrow street so we could unload directly onto my utility trailer at the top of my driveway. I intend to e-mail you a picture of the completed fence.

Thanks again.

Great service! The locust fence posts were of select quality. The delivery was on time and the driver was very helpful with the offloading. I searched far and wide for a source only to find a great supplier not too far away. Craig Bohler Parks Trustee Lake Lucerne Club company
