A “Kentucky Board” fence is a type of wooden fence that has traditionally graced the property of homes and pastures in rural settings. Because of its low cost and cool “rustic” look, the Kentucky Board fence has become a popular option for HOAs and homeowners in suburban and urban areas.
What Type of Wood is Used to Build a Kentucky Board Fence?
The Kentucky Board fences you’ll commonly see in the Miami Valley region consist of Poplar wood “rails” and “cover boards” secured to severe weather-treated pine 4x4x8 fence posts. For additional security, a vinyl-coated wire liner is added to keep four-legged family members within the confines of the fence!
Can You Stain a Kentucky Board Fence?
Absolutely! Often you will see Kentucky Board fences painted or stained to match the residence’s trim and the surrounding landscape. But as always, you’ll need to let the wood “season” before applying paint or stain! That is part of the versatility of this type of fence.
Why Should YOU Get a Kentucky Board Fence?
A Kentucky board fence is an excellent low-cost alternative to chain link, aluminum and vinyl fences. The fence adds charm and security to your home. And because the origins of Kentucky Board fences were initially designed to keep livestock inside an enclosure, they will undoubtedly keep the pups in your yard of all shapes and sizes!
