Concrete Fence Has The Look Of Wood

Concrete Fence Has The Look Of Wood FENCING Fence Systems 21-1-35 "It has the look and texture of wood but won't rot and is much stronger," says Samuel King Masonry, Loysville, Penn., about his "Timbercrete" posts and rails made entirely of reinforced concrete. The 5-in. sq. posts have slots on each side to support the 6-in. wide, 3-in. thick rails. "It's available in white and brown, but we can custom paint it to any color - we mix the color right in the concrete," says King. "It costs slightly more than PVC vinyl fences. Installation is similar to other fence products - you dig a hole, place the post in the hole, and anchor it with concrete. "The posts are a little over 6 ft. long and 2 ft. goes in the ground so you end up with 4-ft. high posts. We also offer 10-ft. high solid fences that serve as noise and sight barriers along highways or in urban developments. The 6-in. wide rails are mounted on 10-ft. high, 5-in. sq. posts." A 2-rail fence sells for $6.54 per linear foot; 3-rail, $7.85 (includes posts and rails). Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Samuel L.
