Fence material

Just got done tearing down about 200 feet of fence today. What a pain in the ass job that was (I left the posts in for the new fence).

Does Fairfax County regular trash pick up this much wood (its 6 foot fencing)? Or do I need to haul it myself?

We've got an appointment with "Carter Fence" on Tuesday. I assume they're a good name?

You should really have that stuff hauled off to a facility that deals with construction waste.

Plus the county won't pick that up in their garbage trucks

Carter Fence built one for us a few months ago. My advice, make sure they use treated lumber that is already dry. Wet lumber will shrink, causing gaps to grow between the slats. Our fence started off with very narrow gaps, nothing alarming; but now, a few months later, the gaps are huge. I dealt with Bruce Carter. He even explained, without my asking, that there will be gaps but they will be narrow. Not true, they grow bigger. Also: don't tip the crew, they get paid pretty well.
