B and C pine specified for the pickets and rails.

Pine has no resistance to rot and, even though it is painted, water will creep in and rot the fence from the inside out in less than ten years. We suggest STK (sound tight knot) Western Red Cedar.

This wood naturally resists rot and should give the NPS twenty plus years natural, stained or painted.

Pressure treated posts - yes, they last a long time, but they are notorious for warping, checking (cracks in the wood) and their inability to hold a stain. We suggest solid Eastern White

Cedar or Western Red Cedar posts. These posts naturally resist decay and will last for 15 to 25 years, depending on the soil conditions

Painting a fence will create constant maintenance issues, predominately peeling problems down the road. Moisture will eventually penetrate through the paint and that will lead to peeling. An industry standard way to finish a new fence in the New England environment is to prime with an acrylic product it and cover it with a water based solid color stain. Benjamin Moore Arborcoat is the best product on the market and can be purchased with an eggshell finish.

Would the NPS consider allowing cedar to be as the fencing material and alternate weather sealing methods as indicated above? It is our belief that this would provide the best value and a superior end product to the NPS.
