STEP 1. CHOOSING THE RIGHT MILL. WE HAVE A CLOSE RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR SUPPLIER AND THEY UNDERSTAND THAT OUR CUSTOMERS DEMAND THE BEST QUALITY REDWOOD.
STEP 2. EACH SHIPPED UNIT COMES WITH 400 BOARDS. WHILE MOST FENCE COMPANIES AND LUMBER YARDS CONSIDER EACH OF THESE BOARDS A #1 GRADE WE STILL TAKE THE TIME TO HAND SELECT EACH BOARD FOR DEFECTS, GRAIN, COLOR, AND SEASONING. WE END UP DISCARDING 5%
STEP 3. WHILE EACH UNIT WE RECEIVE IS DRY, THERE IS ALWAYS A SMALL AMOUNT OF MOISTURE THAT CAN BE FOUND IN WOOD SINCE IT IS AN ORGANIC MATERIAL. WE STORE ALL OUR SELECTED FENCING IN A DEDICATED STORAGE AREA TO ALLOW FOR ADDITIONAL SEASONING.
STEP 4. TO FINISH OR NOT. THIS NEXT STEP WILL NOT ONLY HELP PROTECT YOUR GATE BUT ALSO MAKE IT UNIQUE. WHILE CLEAR REDWOOD HAS MANY YEARS OF PROVEN DURABILITY IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, A GOOD STAIN OR CLEAR COAT CAN INCREASE THE LIFE OF THE BOARD AND HELP TO ENHANCE IT’S NATURAL BEAUTY.
IF YOU HAVE A PARTICULAR COLOR OR BRAND IN MIND WE WELCOME YOUR PREFERENCE.
