The Backbone of Professional Fencing - Pre-Stained 2x4 Rails That Install Perfect Every Time

Stop struggling with rails that warp after staining or leave you with streaky, uneven coverage between posts. Our factory pre-stained 2x4 rails deliver the structural integrity and professional appearance that separates premium fencing from amateur DIY disasters.

Structural Excellence Meets Aesthetic Perfection

Every 2x4 rail is kiln-dried to reduce moisture content and prevent warping, then receives six-sided EXPERT stain penetration that conditions the wood fibers to protect against water intrusion, warping, cracking, twisting, shrinkage, and UV damage. Result: Straight, strong rails that maintain their structural integrity and beautiful appearance for decades.

Installation Speed Revolution

• Gopherwood Method: Frame and finish simultaneously = Same day completion
• Time Savings: 75% reduction in project timeline

Contractor-Grade Quality for DIY Prices

Professional fence contractors pay premium prices for pre-finished lumber because they know the labor savings and quality advantages. Now homeowners get the same professional-grade materials at direct pricing.
