[QUOTE="Baydog, post: 801482, member: 8117"] I did a similiar type fence around my yard that you are talking about 15 years ago. I used the 1X6 deck type boards. I find that if you cut and put them on 7' centers instead of 8' they are more durable. They don't have any cattle pressure against them as my yard dogs are on the inside of the fence. Predrill your nail holes on the planks and they will not split as with just nailing through them would. I would reccomend getting the planks through McCoys lumber if you have one available. If they haven't changed in the last few years, their lumber is better quality and the preservative treatment is a deeper penetration level. I used a good quailty black tinted oil based stain and it has held up very well over the years and I've had no rot at all. [/QUOTE]
