Another faux post fence. Look real don't they?


Chamfer cut post top on a ranch rail fence

This fence isn't ours, but we like it a lot. It's very old, perhaps made by a homeowner good at working with wood.

This is the final section of the fence above, I've forgotten what these reverse curves are called. I think they are gorgeous. We know a shop that will cut these for us.

This looks like a typical cedar fence with the pickets set between the posts, a top rail, and a fascia board. It's not. Those posts aren't real. We can make this "faux post" style fence to mimic 4x4 or 6x6 posts. The bad part is that it looks like a regular cedar fence from the back.

The customer in this instance was a four time repeating customer. The first fence was to establish property line and was made appealing to both sides so that the neighbor couldn't complain about a less than stellar fence. Across the front he got the full on best fence we make for the entrance to his house. Later for deer he got this one, and still later a similar one across the side. The fence in the photo is 3 yrs old.



In this fence too things are not as they appear. There is a dark brown picket half way from both ends of the section that is actually a post. Boulder code calls for no more than 30 square feet of fence between posts, to keep the appearance the customer wanted we added a hard to notice smaller post in the middle. There is also a hidden rail that all the pickets are attached to in the middle. Click on the photo and some of the features might be easier to see.


Faux Posts with re used pickets. Usually we don't reuse materials as it costs more, in this case the pickets were so thick we pulled off what we could and used new when we ran out. After installation the whole thing was stained, the old pickets breathed a sigh of relief when the oil of the new stain was applied.

I replaced the existing lattice with the much tighter variation to shield the view of new construction next door.
