Here at Viking Fence, we’re well-known for our professional fence installations. We can install any kind of fence, from regular wooden fences to cast-iron gates with access control. Additionally, we are a member of the American Fence Association and hold ourselves to the highest industry standards. What many people do not know, however, is that we are the only fence company in Texas that has our own mill.

At Viking Fence, we are proud to have our own mill to make sure that we supply you with the highest quality lumber for your fence. If you are interested in putting up a new fence, contact the Austin wood fence contractors at Viking Fence today.

What Makes Good Lumber?

Quality wood is rather easy to distinguish from inferior wood. A good piece of lumber will be straight and solid. The common test for a piece of lumber’s straightness is to hold it near your eyes and look down the face of the wood. Flip it over a couple of times to get the full picture. If there is a bow in the wood, it will be fairly noticeable.

Additionally, any visible knotting in the lumber may become problematic. Knots in lumber are hard to drive nails through, which makes it difficult to use. Splits also make it hard for the wood to hold nails. Lumber should also be free from mold.
