Re: [RC] Boards At The Top of Fencing - Karen Sullivan
The majority of my fencing is four rail ir corral
board nailed onto pressure treated posts. Then two coats of
paint.....sure "ooked purdy" for a year, but big mistake. IF I had
it all over to do again, I would go Horse no-clilmb wire with a top rail of
pressure treated wood.......and still be prepared to back up the whole thing
with electric as horses just love to rub their
butts on horse wire.....and no matter how nice
and tight and stretched it is in the beginning......they will bend and sag
the
OK ridecampers; some of you gave me some great
tips when I was into building my new barn. I now need some more
tips. I am into replacing all the fencing in the barn area that was
taken away. I bought horse wire since I know that cattle wire is a pain
since I was into helping the equine critters lift their hooves out when
they would put them through that cattle woven wire fencing.....horse wiring
will stop that. Now I don't want barb wire at the top as I have had
....but would prefer to have boards at the top. Ok, my question is
should I use treated or untreated? My horses are free to come and go on
numerous acres...so I have never had a chewing or other problems dealing with
boredum....but just in case...should I avoid the treated boards? Help me
please ridecampers.
