Even though we do not feel confident in an all treated wood fence, we do prefer to build our decks out of treated materials. It should have very few knots and no bark or rot. We have found that Yellow Pine produces less sap than Red Pine or Ponderosa Pine. Therefore, customers have fewer problems with floor boards producing excess sap. The Elyria Fence Co. only uses aluminized wire on their chain link fences.
Aluminized wire is protected and warranted against rust for thirty years.
Due to the process of aluminizing, a higher break strength wire must be used. This wire is much stronger than the wire commonly used for galvanized wire, even though they may be the same gauge or thickness. Galvanized wire is the most commonly installed fabric due to its price. However, Galvanized wire will begin to rust a few years after installation. The strongest of the three is nine gauge and they decrease in strength respectively.
