Estates and Mini Estates
Estates:
The Estates style is a full privacy fence with an ornate post top and mid-rail and overlapping slats. The 6×6 posts make this fence particularly sturdy in heavy winds.
Mini Estates:
The Mini Estates style is a full privacy economy cedar fence with framing on one side and a more decorative reverse side. The posts are beveled, routed and revealed on both sides and fascia is attached at the top and bottom of the decorative side.
Dimensions: Estates and Mini Estates fences are typically built in 8’ wide sections using the following materials:

6”x6”x8’ or 6”x6”x9’ Cedar Posts (with routed and beveled gothic top revealed above fence)
2”x6”x8’ Cedar Rails (Midrail and Top Cap)

Warranty: CFC uses quality materials inspected and certified for the use in our installations, but because of the natural properties of wood, materials are not warranted.
Maintenance: Apply a high quality stain/sealant preferably soon after installation (after the wood has had ample time to dry). Use a product that has both a U.V. protectant for damage from the sun as well as a water repellent.
Generally, a sealant with a pigment (as opposed to a clear sealant) will last longer. We recommend that you apply a sealant annually the first two years to provide adequate protection, and then apply as needed thereafter as needed (probably every 3-5 years).
Adjust sprinkler heads so they do not hit the fence directly, as this will cause hard water stains to appear on the fence. If staining does occur or if the fence becomes discolored or grey for any reason, a high pressure washer with 3000 psi can be used to clean the fence.
