.065 Post

and fence supply co.’s
A lightweight, economic steel
post for 6 ft. fences.
.095 Post

fence supply co.’s and
wholesale distributors.
Ideal use for 6 ft. fences, with
the exception of corner and
gate posts.
Schedule 40 Post
Can only be purchased through
fence supply co.’s and
wholesale distributors.
Ideal use for 8 ft. fences, and
corner and gate posts for all
fences.
MFP does not use 2x3 lumber for rails. Over time, 2x3 rails tend to sag due to the weight of the
fence.
MFP uses 2x4 lumber for rails on all fences. Three rails are used on 6’ and 7’ fences; four rails
are used for 8’ fences. Customers may choose pressure treated or cedar rails. As a standard,
MFP uses pressure treated lumber; additional charges may apply for cedar.
2x6 pressure treated lumber is ideal for the Kick Board (shown below) on all fences. Upgrade
your fence to prolong the life of your pickets and add up to six inches of height by opting for a
Kick Board.

Treated 2X6 used as Kick Board
Magnolia Fence and Patio uses strong tie
brackets to attach fences to steel posts.
Also, ring shank, hot-dipped
galvanized nails are use to attach pickets.
These nails are rust resistant.

Horizontal Fences
Bring your “Pin-Board” dreams to life with a Horizontal Fence. This unique style is rapidly
growing in popularity! With many customizable options, including the use of metal,
horizontal fences can make your home stand out from the rest of the block!
Choose Your Stain
Magnolia Fence and Patio offers Ready Seal® and
Wood Defender® Stains*
Stains can be applied using our Pre-Dipped method prior to
construction, or surface spray after your project is complete. As a
standard, we offer pre-stained lumber in Oxford and Leatherwood by
Wood Defender. Additional charges apply for other stains.
Semi-Transparent Stains provide a longer-lasting Ultra Violet
protection. These richly pigmented stains fade less and last longer,
thus requiring less maintenance. However, they cost more and cover
the natural appearance of the wood. Pre-dipped stain will last 4-6
years, and spray method should be reapplied after 3 years.
Transparent Stains also resist Ultra Violet Rays. These stains
enhance the natural beauty of wood, such as cedar. Pre-dipped stain
will last 3-5 years, and spray method should be reapplied after 2
years.
Ask your Magnolia Fence and Patio sales rep for information on
customized, blended stain colors, and details about our Pre-Dipped
stain method.

GATE
S
Customize your gates to enhance the beauty of your home. Arched gates add charm and character.
Metal-framed gates increase the durability of the gate, preventing sagging and warping. We strongly
recommend metal-framed gates for all fences over 6 ft.
The purpose of a Kick Board is to protect your fence
pickets from retaining moisture, and lawn care equipment
(like weed-eaters.) It also helps with grade changes
throughout the fence line, which is very common in North
Texas. The pickets are attached to the Kick Board, which is
a 2x6x8 treated board. This technique can add up to six
inches to the height of your fence and also prolongs the life
of your fence.
If you aren’t a fan of metal posts on wood fences, Magnolia Fence and
Patio can add custom Post Casings. These are a big hit with many of our
clients’ neighbors, or for clients with swimming pools.
DID YOU KNOW ? As a safety regulation, homeowners with swimming
pools must have their fence rails facing in.

Magnolia Fence and Patio is associated with Mean Green Lawn & Landscape. In addition to providing
landscape design and lawn maintenance to the DFW area, Mean Green has been building fences,
pergolas, water features, and other outdoor products for over seven years. We received such high
demand for custom fences that we decided to dedicate additional time and resources to our wood,
iron, and stone projects. We launched our fence and patio division in 2013.
Both Mean Green & Magnolia Fence and Patio have been owner-operated since day one. Our mission
is to create outdoor experiences that are durable, practical, and visually pleasing. We use the highest
quality products and expert craftsmanship. We believe that our attention to detail and dedication to
building lasting relationships with our vendors and our clients is what sets us apart from the
competition. You can learn more about us on the web at www.magnoliafenceandpatio.com
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Q: What type of wood is available and what do you recommend? A: Cedar, Pine, and Spruce are commonly available. We
recommend using cedar. Although pine and spruce are easier on the pocketbook, cedar will last 5-10 times longer with proper maintenance.
Q: Do you use concrete on your posts? And how deep are the post holes? A: Yes, we use 60 lbs. of concrete for 6 ft. fences, 70 lbs. for 7 ft. fences, and 80 lbs. for 8 ft. fences. Six ft. and 7 ft. fences have post holes that are 2 ft. deep; 8 ft. fences have post holes that are 2.5 ft. deep.
Q: What type of posts do you use? A: For corners and gates, we use Schedule 40. The height of the fence determines whether we use .095 or Schedule 40 for the other posts. Alternatively, .065 posts are economical and may be used on 6 ft. fences. We do not use wooden posts.
Q: What type of nails do you use? A: We use ring shank, hot-dipped galvanized nails which are rust resistant. The polymer coating reduces staining and streaking by 80% compared to traditional nails.
Q: Do you offer a warranty? A: Yes, we offer a 5-year craftsmanship warranty on wood fences, and 3-year warranty on gates.
Q: Who is responsible for utility locates, and the permit if one is required? A: We will contact Texas811 upon receiving a signed contract and deposit. We are not responsible for private lines such as sprinklers or swimming pool lines. We will handle the permit process from beginning to end. Additional fees may apply.
Q: Who is responsible for clearing the fence line? A: Our team is equipped to clear the fence line. However, all personal items must be removed from the job area prior to construction date. Additional costs may apply and vary depending on accessibility to the job site.
Q: Who is responsible for locating the property line? A: If there is an existing fence, the property line does not need to be located. The homeowner is usually responsible if there is not a fence currently in place.
Q: When can you start? A: Once an estimate is approved, a contract will be drafted. Upon receiving a signed contract and 35% deposit we will coordinate utility locates through Texas811, order materials, and get your project scheduled.
