Installing your Cypress Fence

Installation Suggestions for Your Cypress Fence

Use 3-rails in new construction or add 3rd rail when remodeling:

A: Top rail should be 6 inches from the top of fence
B: Bottom rail should be 6 inches from the bottom of fence
C: Center the middle rail between top and bottom rail

TIPS FOR INSTALLATION:

1. Bottom of picket should not have contact with the ground. This will wick moisture and rot wood over time.

2. Use galvanized nails or wood screws to prevent rust.

3. Make sure at least as much nail or screw penetrates into the supporting rail behind the picket as is the thickness of the picket itself.

4. Screws work best. Wood screws will install easily with electric drill.
