[QUOTE="JMJ Farms, post: 1628226, member: 24583"] Carriage head bolts are just for aesthetics. Lot for a little if you ask me, but that’s what he wants. And it does look nice. But pretty costs. We are planning to let it cure before painting. I am using CCA treated lumber. Way better than this new salt cured stuff so I hope it lasts for a long time. I’m not opposed to an opaque stain. I will mention it to him. Was previously planning on using Lexington Paints black fence paint. The company’s recommendation to combat moisture issues was to paint the top of the posts and the top of the rails from both sides of the fence, (essentially putting two coats on everything facing upwards), one coat on the sides of the rails, and no paint on the bottoms of the rails, which supposedly allows the moisture an exit. Makes sense but, I’m no expert by any stretch of the imagination, this is my first wood fence project. Attaching pic of sample fence with bolts to illustrate the look he’s after....And he wanted it to look “beefier”, so we elected to use 2x8s instead of 2x6s, and 6x6 posts. I will ask him about the stain. [url=https://postimg.cc/Vd2JnG3r][img]https://i.postimg.cc/Vd2JnG3r/DF2-AF884-1-EE2-468-C-9-A4-A-C225-EB315-D14.jpg[/img][/url] [/QUOTE]
