Overview

Wood Fence Material, Done Right From the Yard Up

River Creek Fence built its name installing fence across Reno County, and now we supply the same wood material we trust on our own jobs to Central Kansas homeowners, farmers, and builders. Whether you're closing in a backyard in Hutchinson, replacing a tired run on an acreage outside Haven, or buying for a new build on the edge of Wichita, we'll spec the right pickets, posts, and rails for the job and get them in your hands — by pickup at our Haven yard or local delivery.

The two woods that hold up out here are western red cedar and pressure-treated southern yellow pine. Cedar carries natural oils and tannins that resist rot, cupping, and insects without any chemical treatment, which is why it's our pick for privacy fence and anything you want to look good for decades. Treated pine is the value play — it's pressure-treated to fight ground moisture and decay, it takes paint and stain well, and it stretches a budget without giving up much life when it's built and maintained right.

Owner Cody Yoder grew up around livestock and farm ground, so he knows the difference between a board that survives a Kansas summer and one that twists by August. We stock and source straight, sound material — graded pickets, solid posts, and full-dimension rails — and we'll tell you honestly which grade fits your project and your budget instead of selling you up. Tell us your footage and we'll put together a materials list with no guesswork.

Honest Take

Cedar or Treated Pine — Which Material Fits Your Project?

Great for

  • Western red cedar resists rot, warping, and insects naturally — no chemical treatment needed
  • Treated pine pickets and posts deliver real value for budget-minded fence and farm projects
  • Straight, kiln-or-air-dried pickets that stay flat through a Central Kansas summer
  • Full range of parts — pickets, line and corner posts, 2x4 rails, and gate lumber
  • Pickup at our Haven yard or local delivery across Reno County and the Hutchinson–Wichita corridor

Things to know

  • Cedar costs more per picket up front than treated pine, though it lasts longer with less fuss
  • Treated pine should season a few weeks before staining or painting so finish sticks
  • Lower grades carry more knots and color variation — fine for utility runs, not for show fence
  • Posts must be set in concrete below the frost line; we'll size them right whether you DIY or we install
Built to Last

Material That Survives Kansas Sun, Wind, and Soil

Central Kansas weather is brutal on cheap lumber. Relentless summer sun gray-checks and dries boards, hard wind works loose anything that wasn't braced, and our clay-heavy soil swells when it's wet and shrinks bone-dry when it isn't — heaving shallow posts and racking weak panels. We source pickets milled from sound, slow-grown stock that holds its shape, and posts heavy enough to anchor a run against a 50-mph gust when they're set deep in concrete.

Wood choice and grade are where a fence is won or lost. Cedar's tight grain and natural oils make it the long-haul pick for privacy and decorative fence, while treated pine earns its keep on perimeter, paddock, and budget runs where you want solid lumber for less. Either way, we match the picket, rail, and post to your span and exposure, and we'll walk a DIY builder through frost-line post depth and the Kansas 811 utility locate so the material you buy from us goes in to last.

Materials-only pricing for a standard 6-foot wood fence — pickets, rails, and posts. Treated pine sits at the low end; western red cedar runs higher. Set, installed, and finished, expect the $20–$50 per-foot installed range from our cost guide.

Common Questions

Wood Fence Materials FAQ

Both work well here — it comes down to budget and how long you want it to look new. Western red cedar resists rot, cupping, and insects naturally and holds its color and shape longer, so it's our pick for privacy and decorative fence. Treated pine is pressure-treated against decay and costs less per picket, making it a smart value for perimeter, paddock, and budget runs. Tell us your project and we'll recommend the right one.

Both. River Creek Fence started as an installer and now supplies cedar and treated-pine pickets, posts, rails, and 2x4s to Central Kansas homeowners, farms, and builders. You can buy material from us for a DIY project, or have us install it with our full 5-year workmanship warranty — whichever fits.

Either one. You're welcome to pick up at our Haven yard, or we'll deliver locally across Reno County and the Hutchinson–Wichita corridor. We stack and count everything so you've got the full picket, post, and rail count when you're ready to build.

We stock and source the standard wood-fence parts — pickets in common widths and 6- and 8-foot heights, line and corner posts sized for the run, and full-dimension 2x4 rails plus gate lumber. Tell us your height and style and we'll spec the exact sizes and quantities your project needs.

Materials only, a standard 6-foot wood fence generally runs about $3–$9 per linear foot — treated pine on the low end, western red cedar higher — depending on grade, post spacing, and rail count. Set and installed, that lands in the $20–$50 per-foot range from our cost guide. Send your footage for a firm materials list.

Deep enough to sit below the frost line and resist our freeze-thaw heave and hard wind — generally well past two feet, set in concrete. We size posts and depth for every project, and even if you're building it yourself we'll walk you through it and remind you to call the Kansas 811 utility locate before you dig.
